Sup, Merv...
I can't get the vid to load, but I'll keep trying (crappy connection... >:()
Guessing it's a Buckner & Garcia-ish ode to Space Invaders, which has to be cheesy/cool groove ;) on...

No, I don't see how any video game song could be 1/2 has annoying as Buckner and Garcia's "Pacman Fever." They're both going to rot in hell for that.
>:(

I not only remember it, but have a copy of the song when it was aired on "Dr. Demento"!
I also am getting access to all Buckner & Garcia material, including a never-released song based on "Joust".
The reason for this fantastic premise?
Simple: I got in touch with the Dastardly Duo recently, because I have an idea for a sequel/companion LP to theirs, and they liked the idea I came up with.
They cued me into some material they had never released, but had worked on for a second LP of this nature.
If I can pull it off, who knows? You may see "Pac-Man Fever: The Sequel"!

*blink* That's probably one of the most interesting musical finds out there.
Please, see if they can get the rights to release it, even if only on a noncommercial basis.
I've got the original album (on vinyl, no less!), and prefer its sampling to the CD re-release they issued. Not their fault they couldn't get the rights to the samples the second time around as easily as they could back in the '80s.

I would say it a bit differently. It's not ok to snivel in public, like Ed Muskie. If you're going to cry, man, just let it rip. Do a Jimmy Swaggart!
