Pac-Man Fever

Halloween/Party Covers

As best I can determine, this cover was first released on the album Kid Show Themes by the T-Boppers in 2008 by Essential Media Group LLC. It has subsequently been released under multiple publishers, the most prolific being Renegade Media Network LLC and Bobby Jones Party Music. The albums are primarily collections of '70s party tunes or Halloween music.

Both of these seem like bad choices. In the former case, "Pac-Man Fever" was released in late 1981, not the 1970s. In the latter, I don't understand what makes "Pac-Man Fever" a Halloween song. Saying "because it involves ghosts" is a real stretch.

And to make things even more fun, there are three versions of the song: the regular one, one with Halloween sound effects playing in the background, and a karaoke version with the lead vocals removed. The easiest way to identify it is that they all have a running length of 4:05 (with one exception).

So to be clear, all the albums listed below contain the exact same song, aside from those three differences. Yes, even though they each list different artists, and publishers, they're all the same recording, minus the differences in sound effects of lack of vocals for a karaoke track. The following are organized alphabetically by publisher, then band name.

This one is odd. All the album covers say the "Party Band Kings", but on Amazon the artist is listed as the "Party Hit Kings".
