Buckner + Garcia - Pac-Man Fever b/w Pac-Man Fever (Instrumental) (1981) - single

Buckner + Garcia were a musical duo consisting of Jerry Buckner and Gary Garcia from Akron, Ohio. However, the duo is best known for the song "Pac-Man Fever," which became a large novelty hit in 1982, peaking at No. 9 in the United States.
It earned a million-selling Gold-certified 45. Later the same year, after the song became a hit, the duo signed a record deal with Columbia/CBS Records.
According to interviews, the duo never wanted to become a novelty act known for songs based on video games, but when it signed with the label, the company insisted on a full album of video-game songs, although the duo had intended to write a more varied collection of pop music.
They complied despite their misgivings and released "Pac-Man Fever", a full album consisting entirely of songs about arcade video games.
