Based on (and themed after) the controversial 'NFT' technology, it received highly negative coverage from the press, and did not gain much attention. A rewritten version titled 'NiFTy Fever' was released in 2021 by Jerry Buckner.It is included in the Join The Pac - Pac-Man 40th Anniversary album. In 2020, Japanese artist Dian made a cover of the song for Pac-Man's 40th anniversary.In 2015, a remix of the original song called 'Pac-Man Fever (Eat 'Em Up) 2015' featuring Jace Hall was released and featured in the trailer for the movie Pixels.Notably, however, many of these lyrics are completely wrong in relation to Pokémon claiming the game is about 'Cyber Cops from 2029', among other bizarre mistakes. As its name implies, it replaces the Pac-Man lyrics with Pokémon verses.It is unknown what purpose it was intended for, though the song was never officially released. An alternate 'Pokémon Fever' version of Pac-Man Fever was produced (by Buckner and Garcia themselves) at an unknown date, presumably late 1990s.In 1999, the song along with its accompanying album was re-recorded and self-released on compact disc by Buckner and Garcia.This version also received a music video, which uses the costumes also used for Atarinational Pac-Man Day. A German cover was released by Gerald Mann under the name 'Pac-Man Fieber' in 1982.This version re-recorded lines saying 'Pac-Man' to 'Puckman' (based on the original Japanese title of the game) ironically, Puckman was still pronounced as Pac-Man in Japan, making this change rather useless. A Japanese version was released in the early 80s titled 'Puc-Man Fever'.I'm really cookin' now, eating everything in sight.Īll my money's gone, so I'll be back tomorow night. So it's once around the block, And I'll slide back out the side door. Now I've got them on the run, and I'm looking for the high score 'Cause Pokey's too slow, and Blinky's out of sight. I'm gonna fake it to the left, and move to the right Gonna eat the cherries up and take them all for a ride. So I'm heading out the back door and in the other side I've got Speedy on my tail, and I know it's either him or me. I've got all the patterns down, up until the ninth key. I'm gonna eat them all up, just as soon as they turn blue. I've got a callus on my finger, and my shoulder's hurting too. I don't have a lot of money, but I'm bringing ev'rything I made.
