Off-topic Tuesday: The Pac-Man EP by Worm Quartet

Back in December I did a Wednesday cover about Worm Quartet's most recent version of "Pac-Man Fever". Now I'll cover the rest of the EP it comes from, as it's a nice follow-up to The Pac-Man Album.


The Pac-Man EP consists of 11 tracks.

  1. "Pac-Man is Forty and So Should You", an update of a WQ original, "Pac-Man is Naked and So Should You."
  2. The aforementioned cover of "Pac-Man Fever."
  3. "Take the Fruit and Scoot", a cover of a song from a Kids Stuff Pac-Man record.
  4. A cover of the Pac-Man TV show music.
  5. to 7. Covers of the Pac-Man TV show intro/outro and a cover of a Pac-Man Cereal commercial.
  6. to 9. Remixes of track 1.
  7. A cover of Barnes & Barnes' "I Had Sex With Pac-Man."
  8. "Pac-Man", a 2013 song by Sudden Death (a.k.a. Devo Spice) feat. Worm Quartet... with a small tweak.

You can buy the EP on CD, cassette, vinyl, or as a download at Bandcamp.
