With the great news posted earlier by the Retroist that today IS Pac-Man Day, it seemed an opportune moment to share Buckner and Garcia’s “Pac-Man Fever” performance on Solid Gold.
So if you are not too exhausted from visiting your local arcade and playing hours of Pac-Man to help celebrate this wondrous day why not take a moment and watch this fantastic performance?

Not that Solid Gold is as quality as its name suggests, but I still can’t believe these guys did this song on it. I also can’t believe the Pac Man dance the SG dancers are doing in the background.
Spotify has the entire video game themed Buckner and Garcia album. I am going to attempt to listen to it.
I remember the TV show Solid Gold. I still own my original Buckner And Garcia Perform “Pac-Man Fever” album on vinyl.
I Have the 82 version Of PacMan Fever I burned to CD and about Spotify don’t use that program! that’s what killed my last computer! :( Since There has been Talk of it having Malware.
can you here the guy ordering the sandwich at the beginning?
The dancing girls are sexy and all, but shouldn’t they be dressed like Ms. Pac-Man? She’s had the worst case of Pac-Man fever for years.
I own both the original version of Buckner and Garcia’s album and the re-recorded re-release done years later. I even have the complete album on my phone in mp3 format, ready for playing at a moment’s notice.
And now if you’ll excuse me, it’s time to Do the Donkey Kong.
