Wednesday cover: "Pac Man Fever" by too many artists

This is the insane one. First, there are three versions of this cover: a straight one, one with Halloween sound effects, and a karaoke version. All clock in at 4:05 except for one karaoke one which is 4:00. Why Halloween sound effects? I have no idea! "Ghosts", I guess.

Second, it was released under seven different publishers. Third, it was released under 13 different band names. Fourth, it was released on 33 different digital albums, but one of those has two different versions of the cover art! You'll note a lot of these albums have "70's" in the title. I'll remind you that "Pac-Man Fever" was released in 1981.


I'm not going to list them all here. You can find the list at "Pac-Man Fever Forever" until I get it added to this entry.

All three are on YouTube: the regular one, the Halloween SFX one, and the karaoke one. You can also buy them on Amazon.
