[c0ckNockeR]

i totally heard this song for the first time at like 2:30 in the morning. i was confused at first, but went to sleep intrigued.

[LuckyJuggaloLucky]

How about all of you shut the fuck up and listen to the god damn song, isn't that the reason you're here in the first place?!?! Damn, you're all acting like a bunch of 14 yr. old school girls.

[groofoot]

2:09-2:21 .. still lmao

[iluvmycousin2much]

i just love the percentage char of what resembles pac man

[ratzhit]

Lol more than half of you cunts saying you love pacman have either never played the game or were not born when it was popular.

[CoolerKing37]

@ratzhit Shut up, cunt. You can play this game on your fucking phone now. Who gives a shit if someone wasn't alive when it was popular.

[PaulSchissel]

This was the 80's and lots of the music/music music videos wore cheesy like this, but it worked for the time! you have to picture yourself back in the early 80's when Pac-man was the most played video game during that time, everyone with their brothers/sisters and all their friends wore at their local Arcade playing it!

[CoolerKing37]

@PaulSchissel lol, look at you bashing music of the last two decades and then trying desperately to defend a novelty song....Pathetic.

[PaulSchissel]

@CoolerKing37 I didn't say one thing in that statement to bash any music.. what I was pointing out is this song was made in the early 80's when alot of the music and music videos wore like this and the game "Pac-Man" was Popular during this time era, Yes music has sucked in the last 10 years,.. especially now that the record companies have taken over!!!

[omegaVocaal]

This was my 1st 45 record my mom brought 4 me

[karlmoles65]

Damn, I miss the 80s.

[Morahman7vnNo2]

Working for the weekend!

[TheNumber1TailsFan]

I Always Go To Tennessee Just to Go To The Arcade Because My State Dosn't Have Alot of Arcades XD

[DVDluvr123]

@TheNumber1TailsFan But in your state you can marry your cousin and then celebrate with a jug of moonshine in your 1972 Ford pickup.

[Myk44]

This song is on Rock Band Downloads, it's awesome! :)

[johnson1095]

i was brought here by Coast to Coast AM lol

[saltedsnake]

This song is f*ckin' amazing!!!!!!!!!

[grouchyarchie]

I liked the song, but you know a fad is on its way out when this kind of thing starts happening. Wasn't Where's the Beef put to a pop music formula, as well?

[MrNaturalhigh72]

totally forgot all about this song. Thank you for uploading. OMG I so remember the arcades and bustin open that fresh roll of quarters and playing Pac Man until I had blisers on my fingers from the joy stick. LOL

[sfjohn5]

use to have the record with this =)

[PaulSchissel]

This song is a lot better than the music out there today!!

[Doca]

@PaulSchissel

You need to listen to more music.

[PaulSchissel]

@Doca Most of today's music sucks...

[Doca]

@PaulSchissel

No, most of the shit music you listen to sucks.

[PaulSchissel]

@PaulSchissel 99% of today's music is pure crap, I'll take the 60's, 70,s and 80's over pretty much everything out there today especially Rap and hip hop!!

[3193dgg]

Remember when pac man, space invaders, and galaga were the bombs. You could go to the local Safeway and play these while mom went grocery shopping.

[Cap285]

I remember having a pocketful of quarters and going to the arcade in 1982. Thanks for posting.

[hiiamlogan]

when i 1st listind to this i relly did get pacman fever and i said screw halo and cod iand started to play pacman for about 2 weeks

[kamphychair]

how could you dislike this song?

[paulyshorerips]

@kamphychair Homogenized, meaningless crap.

[kamphychair]

@paulyshorerips You just don't like video games, grampa.

[DaveWollenberg]

Jerry and Gary hit #9 in Billboard, 3-27-82. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a blessed week!

[CitySkin09]

People still listen to this shit, huh?

[godkram]

i remember this f'ing song from my arcade days as a kid lol

[MrChrisdube]

I didn't remember this song; I expected a parody of Ted Nugent's "Cat Scratch Fever"

[NanronLOUM]

This is the first album I ever purchased. I still have it...I wonder if it has any value.

[paddyosee]

So 4 people couldn't get past the first level.

[SpiffyMario55]

isn't this the theme song from the cartoon?

[ricechristopher11]

memmories( sp?)

[jeffdadude87]

Whenever I was riding in the car w/my parents listening to this song they would always pull over based on the siren sound that's heard here.

[ripsawrodge67]

My local Safeway store thought it was a good idea to put arcade games in it's store to occupy young kids time.Several blisters later and hours of playing Pac-Man they pulled the plug after too many parents complained.And here all they had to do was show me how to get passed the 9th key:)

[fourkero1]

! So awesome record , I dance it a lot in the DISCO back in the year of 1982 - 1983 here in Chile !

[bucky468]

Thumbs up if anybody remembers when AOR stations played this one during its heyday.

I often wonder if this would've been as big of a hit if a huge rock act like ZZ Top recorded "PMF"? This would've been a perfect fit for Billy, Dusty & Frank.

[bnegs521]

@bucky468 If they would have sold the song to a group like ZZ Top or a popular rock group it probably would have hit number one.

[bull864]

Pacman is legend!!!

[fereishear]

@bull864 Pacman is god

[superDavid12341]

if you go to my channel u will see i got pacman fever cause its my i.d.

[STEVENWILKINS1]

[IronTheHedgehog]

[RedWolf3487]

I have an old pac man lunchbox for some reason

[jjojjorge]

Ms pac man ! all vesions =) Jr. Pac man too =)

[JockeyHumpzU]

well Pace man is a slice of moving cheese

[supermandisco]

My favorite Game Boy!

[cam45m51]

the first large scale revolution in video game culture history. it made enough hype to have people make a record. and this was the 80s. frankly amazing.

[Jagged85]

@cam45m51

Pac-Man is also possibly the highest-grossing entertainment product of all time. By the 90s, Pac-Man had grossed $3.8 billion ($1 billion from cabinet sales, $2.5 billion from quarters dropped in machines, and $270 million from Atari 2600 software sales), which today would be equivalent to over $7 billion with inflation! The only other entertainment product to rival its revenue is Space Invaders, which grossed $3 billion by 1982 (or $7 billion with inflation).

[Jagged85]

@Jagged85

Of course, most of these revenues were grossed during the golden age of arcades (late 70s to 80s), a time when video games were probably more mainstream than they are today. During the golden age, the video game industry was generating revenues in the tens of billions (or with inflation, several times that amount), mostly from quarters dropped into arcades rather than home software sales (unlike today).

[Jagged85]

By the way, this song Pac-Man Fever reached #9 on the Billboard Hot 100, sold over a million singles, and went Gold (equivalent to today's Platinum). The Pac-Man Fever album later did the same, again selling over a million records and going Gold. Along with all other kinds of products based on Pac-Man, "Pac-Mania" or "Pac-Man Fever" was a huge phenomenon in North America during the early 80s.

[HyperEmmie]

love this sooo much<33

[MegaSkoalBandit7195]

One of the best records in my collection!

[ABBAJim71]

I loved playing this game on my Atari 2600 back in the early 80's. I still have this song on record.

[artrush]

The Who should've learnt this

[emachines007]

0:33 is a little violent! lol

[ProductionsHead]

Lol, when was this made, if it was made after 1995 i hate it.

[hhurtta]

@ProductionsHead Originally released in '82, so feel free to love it!

[ProductionsHead]

@hhurtta

i was aware after checking online, but thanks anyways :D!

[UndercoverObserver]

I think of all that money I wasted on this game back in the day. All thoes quarters !

[jeremythegame]

one hit wonder!!

[konajgreg65]

i don't care what anybody says, Pac-Man is the best game game invented on this earth!!

[Alikah1]

@konajgreg65 With the possible exception of strip poker.

[iani103]

Im wasn`t a real PacMan fan but this song made me give it a try

Shure is awesome when you play this song whil you play :D

[donnydcyclops]

didnt like this song in 82, still dont today. maybe cause I never had pacman fever. two thumbs down for this song!

[iani103]

@donnydcyclops The song doesnt revolve around the game....

I never had PacMan arcades where i lived when i was a kid and i will probobly never be a PacMan fan but the song is really catchy you have to admit :D

[bnegs521]

@iani103 The song doesn't revolve around the game? Do you have a brain or are you missing one?

[iani103]

@bnegs521 Well i dont know but your mom seemed to like my techniques last night :/

[bnegs521]

@iani103 Actually she said that your technique and effort was good but your joystick is extremely small and tiny for the game. I think you should be looking up this song on youtube by -20 fingers featuring Gillette- It's called 'short man.' I heard it was made just for you.

[iani103]

@bnegs521 Ohh... thats cold.

[bnegs521]

@iani103 LOL :D

[yshua11]

i think the first pic is adorable!

[groofoot]

2:05 lmfao almost pissed my pants

[pacman5698]

Thats my pal!!!!!!

[ransman413]

@pacman5698 are you referring to pac and pal?I LOVE PAC AND PAL

[pacman5698]

@ransman413 lol no my youtube name, i named after him :)

[ransman413]

@pacman5698 no i was referring to your comment

[pacman5698]

@ransman413 yeah thats what it was about, pacman5698, pacman is my pal!!!

[ransman413]

@ransman413 I thought you were referring to a game called pac and pal from 1982. I rock at it. if you dont know what i am talking about, on Go ogle look up "play pacandpal"

[blondie19651]

awesome songs i remember wen this came out i had to get the 45 of it

[DaveWollenberg]

Billboard's #42 song of '82. B&G hit #9 in Billboard. God bless! No offense made to anybody.

[seekingnewhorizons]

Pacman is the best once it rules and still it does! The best arcade forever!!!

[echo1v]

Pac-Man Championship Edition DX... FTW!

[Lavenderrose73]

Oh my gosh I LOOOOOVED this song back when I was in 2nd Grade! The talent show that year these 2 girls had done a dance to this song and they got the trophy for first place!! This totally brings me back to those Oak View School days!

[snoopysbaby98]

I want this song lol

[ixSTRAFExi]

Hey I ave the actual record and record case autographed by buckner and garcia sitting right next to me (:

[MrBuc128]

When I think of great composers Buckner and Garcia come to mind first. Oh I know some will say Lennon and Mccartney but for me it's always been Buckner and Garcia ever since I saw them at a sold out show at Madison square garden in '82. I still listen to this song on my I POD like Stairway to Heaven Freebird and Hey Jude this is song is still a main staple of classic rock radio. I still have Pac man fever and I don't want to be cured.

[GreekGuy9999]

OMG...this is BAD.  And I cannot believe I was into it as a kid. What was I THINKING???

[Tdak1128]

@GreekGuy9999 u were thinkin the right thing..."nods head twice"

[yobunny88]

i still play pacman........and i has teh pacmans fever plus its contagious!!

[Astraldragon1]

Great memories

 thanks for posting.

[oldies1976]

I got to the 17th Key once and over 300,000 points. 1980-1983 were great for video games!!

[RickJ32]

@oldies1976 They sure were.

[JoeCnNd]

@oldies1976 Get it on mame and bring the great times back. I'm playing the crap out of donkey kong now.

[teehonky]

i thought Pac-Men were chinks...theyre yellow and have rice bowls for heads....I thought Ms Pac-Man was an asian trannie

[RetroJenny]

I forgot about this song. Makes me think of the old arcade I went to as a kid. Thanks for posting.

[pannoni1]

No need to put in quarters; just download an emulator and the Pac-Man ROM, and just put this song on repeat, and the Pac-Man fever never ends!

[Hadonia37]

"I got Speedy on my tail and I know it's either him or me." Classic!

[ransman413]

i requested this on the radio on the breeze 94.5 lastnight

[tenor175]

HOLY COW!!! I feel old here!!!!! LOL!!!! LOVED this song1

[paddyosee]

[adamcharney]

An entire LP album dedicated to video games...GREATEST. THING. EVER.

[crazynick66]

pacman was the best game my dad was the king of this game when he was young

[readthisquestion]

@crazynick66 don't alll r dad say that lol ^^

[groofoot]

Everyone laughs at this song, but it reached No. 9 on the Billboard hot 100, which is no small feat. I bought the 45 when I was in 5th grade! lol ... our church had this record in the jukebox in the basement rec room, and one night, after we kids had finished choir practice and were raising hell in the rec room, I remember our pastor came in the room dancing while it was playing lol .... a great memory.

[TheRetroDude1]

anyone remember the Space Invaders song ??

[pannoni1]

@TheRetroDude1 Yes, the Pretenders; the b-side to Something Special.

[stereosound321]

hahahah pacman is and was the best game of all time

Halo doesn't deserve a catchy theme

[ransman413]

[ransman413]

@ransman413 and bosconian

[TheFlamingDoh]

@ransman413 There is a cure for Pacman fever! It's called a Tetris shot!

[JockeyHumpzU]

@ransman413 THERE S NO CURE!!!! NO!!!!!

[islandbee]

I have the full album somewhere......LOL I think I was like 7.........I played Pac-Man for the Atari 2600 till the score went back to zero back then. Life was so simple back then. And I wanted to grow up so bad back then.

[ransman413]

once i understood that game i loved it

[islandbee]

@ransman413 I would always clear the screen first and leave all the power pills left so I can chase the ghosts and eat them up. Yum! LOL

[ransman413]

@islandbee yup I always understood the regular version i did not understand the 2600 vesion but once i did i fell in love

[ransman413]

It was a guy bgoinbg SIZORS TWIST over and over and then some girls sang this.

It was kinda hard to hear so my friends and I would call the song Bad Bad Beaver.
