Being round a yellow guy? PAC-MAN!
Do he eating lots of dots? PAC-MAN!
Running up and down your street,
Screaming at your mailbox now,
Hanging from your ceiling fan? PAC-MAN!
Mouth a open and a close? PAC-MAN!
Run your fingers on my arm! PAC-MAN!
Jumping up and down real fast,
Putting butter in your hat,
Shaving all your fish at night? PAC-MAN!
(Ohh….)
It's time to Pac-Man!
The best way to Pac-Man is to use the game!
You moving joystick and you eat the dot,
Eat all the dot, you win another maze,
And mazes are the place where Pac-Man goes!
He eat a key or maybe eat a pear,
Cuz these are food for eating in the maze
But ghosts are making death so run away
Or make a blue ghost turn into a food!
ASMR!
Eat a dot and eat a fruit? Pac-Man.
Leaving something on the stove? Pac-Man.
Spinning on a countertop,
Sniffing all your laundry now,
Blinky and Inky feeling rather sheepish? PAC-MAN!
(ohhhh…)
Nice shoes let's Pac-Man!
And the Pac-Man is the thing that you will move
The thing is all the Pac-Man that there is
For eating all the dots and also Clyde
But also Clyde is only sometimes food
The food is very eating for the mouth
Cuz mouth is all the thing that Pac-Man has
But if the death makes melting from the ghosts
Then look another Pac-Man is arrive!

"Meet Tim Crist, a man obsessed with Pac-Man." - Fred Willard, 2004 (R.I.P.)
Hi. I like Pac-Man, and because of that Fred Willard said my name on VH-1 once and I was more recently in an article for the Smithsonian to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the great yellow semi-circle of life. So if you're interested in Fred Willard saying your name on VH-1 and being in an article for the Smithsonian, I highly recommend liking Pac-Man. It's not hard, because Pac-Man is neat.
Anyway, long story mid-length, back in the proverbial "day" I used to participate in a Pac-Man chat forum called "Pac-Chat" (because, as noted, I like Pac-Man.) One dude named "Pac-Manic" (a.k.a. Jeff Carter) wrote some nonsensical lyrics in a post starting with "[something] a yellow guy? Pac-Man! Do he eating lots of dots? Pac-Man!" I decided that this needed to be a real song. When I got around to actually endeavoring to make this happen, I somehow couldn't find all the stuff Mr. Manic had originally written, so I took what I could remember, came up with a bunch of my own thingies, and combined these with ideas from a similarly-nonsensical post I'd made describing the gameplay ("The best way to Pac-Man is to use the game!" etc.) to create "Pac-Man Is Naked And So Should You," which was released in 2001.
After the aforementioned Smithsonian thing ran this year, I realized I hadn't done anything to properly commemorate the 40th birthday of he who makes our enemies blue and edible and guides us through the maze of life, so I decided to redo this here song. Nobody told me not to, so here it is. FUN FACT: The square-wavey synth sound I use throughout this is actually a pitch-manipulated single sampled note from the intro music of the Pac-Man arcade game. Because I am an ARTIST. So there.
This is only the beginning of Worm Quartet's tribute to Pac-Man's 40th birthday. Stay tuned.
