"Weird Al" Yankovic - "Pac-Man"

[misereiko666]

@theseamusexperience fuck you,pac-man is better,you dickhead,galaga couldn't compete with it back then & it can't now,thats a fact.

[Machcharge]

The real song is tax man (ya its the tax man)

[acceptthis01]

Weird Al beats Billy Mitchell any day of the week.

[madastrota]

This is great - never heard this one before .. Weird Al is always a genius with his parodies .. great video, too!

[Nubecuube]

I love pacman and the beatles

[bigger4life]

i love pac-man

[420Rockerman69]

OMG VIRUS ALERT!!!!! Subject: Stinky Cheese!!!! AAAHHHH!!!!

[Froleyboy]

Why can't I find this on iTunes!?!?

[PanicPagoda]

@Froleyboy It was never commercially released. I did some research, and it's only available on Dr. Demento's Basement Tapes No. 4 - part of a series of annual CDs sent to members of The Demento Society (Dr. Demento's fan club.)

[theseamusexperience]

Fuck Pacman, galaga's where its at.

[CzarParan01a]

@kenthy95 yeah, that was the subject of the virus email on "Virus Alert" too.

[FallenNecroShade]

i thought black ops was hard, then i played contra... :/

[lacerta1974]

I wonder if the beatles saw that

[Goldthehedgehog55]

wierd,im wering my pacman shirt!

[tatemick1]

I lobe the Beatles and I love weird al

[oakleylj]

thumbs up if you and weird al are awesome

[epicnessinmotion]

This song was never on any of his albums.

[kenthy95]

Any one noticed that email had a subject of stinky cheese :D

[Johnnywasherefirst]

LOL I haven't heard this in a long long time!

[drstarfires]

I'm wearing a Pac-man shirt, and my twitter name is Beatles_Taxman.. haha randomly ironic..

[BroudbrunMusicMerge]

@drstarfires Coincidental, not ironic.

Still, pretty crazy.

[drstarfires]

@BroudbrunMusicMerge Ah yes, true x) and yeah.

[K454R1]

omg he parodied the Beatles???? Thank you for the video :D

[musicmandon1]

This, and "Still Billy Joel to Me," have never been released on a Weird Al CD, and it's a shame. Heard this in '82 on Dr. Demento, during my first semester of college.

[awsomdrew]

Great tax man parody liked

[cecedizuite]

very nice vidéo :D

[3afterPM]

Virus alert reference FTW!

[Happydanser]

trololol

Mailsubject: Stinky Cheese --> Virus Alert!!

[MrHooper411]

What about this for a parody! Instead of it's time for me to fly by reo: write it's time to eat to some pie!

[spaceghostisawesome]

Hahaha.

Subject: Stinky Cheese

[MiyasmaTube]

I enjoy the fact that in the video, you sent an email with the subject Stinky Cheese. I've heard bad things about getting an email with that as a subject... something about some dangerous, insidious something-or-other. Wait.. is that a hicky on my poodle?!

[nerdfightersPWN]

great parody of taxman! and good video.

[ssaykcul]

Dat Pacman guitar.

Kinda want, then again...

[joshuadramsey]

What a cool parody! I love that the sound is engineered to be almost identical to the original "Taxman," yet the Pac-Man sound effects have been sampled and used. The best part for me is the Pac-Man song fitting almost perfectly into the guitar break figure. Hilarious!

[misternoodle13]

i like how at the start it does the 1,2,3,4, thing that was on revolver

[cyberking64]

OMFG! 1:46 IS THE STINKY CHEESE EMAIL FROM VIRUS ALERT! LIKE IF YOU REALISED THIS.



[plarfusa]

@GuitarBen1968 besste. cahmendt. ehayver.

[kjmergen]

This is a parody of "Taxman", by The Beatles. Vote 'Thumbs Up' is you knew how to spell 'knew.'

[warcrap]

@kjmergen love how you criticize the fact he said "new" instead of "knew" but you said "is" instead of "if" which is a bigger mistake.

[kjmergen]

@warcrap I was being purposefully ironical. Glad you enjoyed it. :)

[grgharrison9]

@Smartboy8877 george Harrison wrote the song taxman and packman is making fun of that song

[Smartboy8877]

@grgharrison9

I thought you might have been writing about George Harrison, but I was not sure. I would really like to thank you for clearing it up for me!

[hodgeybaby]

Is this on any of weird al's albums does anyone know? Love his "straight outta lynwood" album!! Long live the Beatles!!

[Caboose900000]

I didn't even know this existed...

[rex682]

what the heck the beatles are awesome u suck

[754Luke]

you know whats sad, the bunch of mindless hordes of people who actually fall for that "thumbs up if you______" shit

[MrMelonWorld]

i watched cause i wore my PAC-MAN T-shirt today. its pink :D

[estoke61]

Holy sh*t Taxman is one of my few favorite Beatles songs...I had no idea Wierd Al did a parody of it...this was awesome!!!

[mccartneygirl151]

Beatles + Weird Al = O_O <3

[culpritdesign]

this is a parody of beatles taxman vote up if u new how to spell knew this

[metriod64]

its still cool

[casestudyification]

Love it. I'm getting ticked off. I just heard this and the "Patterns" song, and I'm wondering why they weren't on any of the albums! Al is a genius. AL-anons.....UNITE!!

[SwordsDragonsAndCoke]

STINKY CHEESE!!!!!

[tannalv]

Originally, in Japan, they called the game "Puckman". Obviously, when released in North-America, they changed the name...

[Mrdirtydarth]

@tannalv They changed the name because people could scratch out part of the P

[xenophobiaist]

lol stinky cheese hes giving his mom a virus.

[ToonLinksMaster]

@km9OOO Oh.. yeah just realized that today lol

[justjess678]

this isn't actually one of "weird" Al's songs, I have all his albums and it's not in any of them. It might be another parody singer, like the guy who sang "cats in the kettle".

[iIamITheIMaster]

@justjess678 yes it is, just google it

[phineassprouse]

@justjess678

It is, but it's just a rare song not in his albums. Similar to Scatman John's "Steal the Base"

[ludovica36]

@justjess678 Sorry this IS actually a rare song by Al.. Quote from Al's Wikipedia page

"The Dr. Demento Society, which issues yearly Christmas re-releases of material from Dr. Demento's Basement Tapes, often includes unreleased tracks from Yankovic's vaults, such as "Pacman", "It's Still Billy Joel To Me" or the live version of "School Cafeteria".

[Smartboy8877]

@justjess678

I have never heard of "Cats in the Kettle" before. After I finish here, I might check to see if it is on You Tube. Thank you for the heads up!

[akser360]

Subject stinky cheese.. haha see "virus alert"

[bwware]

@Guinessisgod: you are high.

[epicapple67]

This is art!!

[Zimnyification]

If you drive a car I'll tax the street

If you try to sit I'll tax your seat

If you get too cold I'll tax the heat

If you take a walk I'll tax the heat

[vivecanada1]

@Zimnyification your feet...

[Zimnyification]

@vivecanada1 Fuck.

[grgharrison9]

George and al are the best

[Smartboy8877]

@grgharrison9

Who is George?

[TheSpln]

Mmmm tic-tacs

[Smartboy8877]

@TheSpln

Back when I had to wear a retainer in my mouth, I ate a lot of Tic-Tacs for the sake of my breath! Just one more memory from my early teenage years!

[Sheik767]

the email's subject was stinky cheese - the virus to rape ur com

[MrThrasha666]

WHY WASNT THIS ON THE FIRST ALBUM ala '83/'84 or 3D

[weirdalfan5566]

@MrThrasha666 because it was on polka party

[MrThrasha666]

@weirdalfan5566 haha, dont think so, definitely should have been though. Love this recording.

[edaboladik]

[5iveGaming]

 "Stinky cheese" on Subject at 1:46 - 1:55 :3

[sparkytrick]

Beatles Taxman ftw

[RayChiTown]

@10truefreak01 I realize this comment is a year old, but I just saw it. Actually, it is released, but not on one of Al's albums. It is on Dr. Demento Basement Tapes #4, from back in 1995.

[RayChiTown]

@nekocrazy I realize this comment is a year old, but I just saw it. It IS on Weird Al's website, recording dates. weirdal dot com slash rcdgdate.htm

[Snopy79797]

If you should get any mail with the subject stinky cheese.

There's no use taking the chances, under no circumstances should you open it or else it will...That was a good reference.

[iwantmypierigtnow]

this is a parody of beatles taxman vote up if u new this

[Smartboy8877]

@iwantmypierigtnow

Because most (if not all) Weird Al songs are parodies of songs by other people, I was wondering what song this was based on and who sang it. Thank you very much for enlightening me!

[SpatulaErotica]

@Smartboy8877 Tax Man by The Beatles

[Smartboy8877]

@SpatulaErotica

Thank you for the information!

[ludovica36]

@Smartboy8877 Only half of Al's songs are song parodies, the other half are original words AND music made in the style of other artists

[Smartboy8877]

@ludovica36

Thank you for the interesting information!

[GuinessisGod]

@iwantmypierigtnow i don't think many ppl know the beatles anymore :(

[iwantmypierigtnow]

@GuinessisGod everyone knows the beatles im in grade 6 and i know them same with everyone else they are legends

[PokeDan15]

@iwantmypierigtnow well it is in the description

[iwantmypierigtnow]

@PokeDan15 it is now didnt used to be

[enCODed3]

@iwantmypierigtnow thumbs down his comment if he misspelled "KNEW"

[scopeeyevideo]

@enCODed3 How about thumbs down 'cause he's karma-whoring?

[drsuny12]

@iwantmypierigtnow i didnt know which song it was but i could defiantly tell it was the Beatles style

[TheIronman4351]

@iwantmypierigtnow thumbs up if you looked in the description to find that!! shocker

[FluffyBunniesOnFire]

@iwantmypierigtnow Wait a minute, are you telling us that Weird Al does parodies? I'm shocked!

[wsbill14224]

@iwantmypierigtnow I like it. Weird Al can rock!

[MildlyColdNinja]

wow fucking destroyed a great song.

[SecretTimeWarp]

@MildlyColdNinja Are you George Harrison, come back from the dead? (George apparently was a dick about this, hence it remaining unreleased.... thanks, George. P.S., most of your solo albums blew.)

[MildlyColdNinja]

@SecretTimeWarp take it easy. im just saying weird al took a song that actually meant something and shit on it.

[sparkytrick]

@MildlyColdNinja Calm down, I'm a giant Beatles fan and Taxman is a great song with a lot of depth, but having Weird Al parody your song is a great honor to anyone. Notice: Most of his his songs parody great songs that mean something, but that's because he sees the oppuritunity to do something funny and pay respect to an artist.

[Smartboy8877]

@sparkytrick

That is a very interesting way of seeing things my friend!

[Zion1122]

Stinky Cheese :P from the virus song

[DSfan56]

Put ur finger on the tip of ur nose

Say the name of ur crush

Tommorow they will ask u out or say I love u

But for this to work u must post this on 2 more videos :) good luck

[ToonLinksMaster]

As horny as it is, I laughed at the picture of Weird Al's head on the body of a guy with Donald Trump.

[km9OOO]

@ToonLinksMaster Ya mean... corny?

[AppleiWeasel]

I was joking, bleep.

[agoonub]

AWSOME GUITAR!!!

[WiiZarDsGFX]

1) Hold your breath.

2) Copy all of these steps.

3) Go to two other video.

4) Paste it in the comments.

If you can do all of this without breathing you're a good pot smoker

[iamdeaddude]

@WiiZarDsGFX -thx-i did it LOL

[thegr8fraz]

Heey, I want that guitar!

[AppleiWeasel]

[TheJustinAllenK]

[willy7369]

Awesome find.. I cant remember this song, but it is TRUELY Weird AL...... SWEET.

[WannaBeatle]

[ThatGirlWithTheFlip]
