LOL I used to love that song, because my MOTHER was completely addicted to Ms. Pac Man!

Thanks for the earworm. I'm gonna fake it to the left and move it to the right! That's a great tune - as are most musical contributions from the 80's! smile

On a sled
My dad just dropped off a big box of pictures he found while cleaning out my grandparents house - including several pictures of me in some of my finest 80's attire (remember when guys shorts did not go all the way to the knees?), along with some crazy hair. I thought my 14 year old daughter was going to collapse she was laughing so hard. To add insult to injury, she snapped a picture with her phone and immediately posted it on Instagram for all her friends to see.

Ironically we just listened Pac Man Fever here a few weeks ago. A lady was talking about it that she heard it on XM and I had no clue what it was.

It's kind of catchy...

I'm sure you can find it on YouTube or some music site BB. But be forewarned: Once you hear it, you can't unhear it. eek laugh

I love the 80's! I play 80's music all the time thanks to Sirus XM! My kids actually know some of the songs due to Guitar Hero! I am waiting for the big hair to return, that is one style I can master but I need some Rave Hairspray - do they still make that stuff?

I believe there is a certain devilish poster on here who would be able to confirm the strength and hold of Aqua Net. Not naming any names though. whistle

As a matter of fact, it is. There are times when having a smart phone lets you do dumb things.

Most of the music I heard in the '80s was on reel-to-reel. That could be why I'm not familiar with this.
