Buckner and Garcia were in the Atlanta area in 1981, recording TV jingles and other low-profile studio work.

However, when they shopped it locally, WSTR (FM) in Atlanta decided to play it for fun on their show one morning.

In 1998, the duo was asked to record an unplugged version of "Pac-Man Fever" exclusively for the syndicated radio show Retro Rewind.

In honor of the release of the 2015 film Pixels, Jerry Buckner, and Danny Jones with Jace Hall, took the vocals from Gary Garcia's master recording, and created a new version called "Pac-Man Fever Eat Em' Up".

"Weird Al" Yankovic recorded a similar song in late 1981 called "Pac-Man", during the height of the game's popularity.
