What's the worst song on "Pac-Man Fever"?

I think a serious case can be made for any of them, but for my money I'm going with "Ode to a Centipede." That creepy break in the middle where the guy (Buckner? Garcia?) starts talking to the centipede like he wants to have sex with it pushes this one into "Worst Song Ever" territory. I'm getting all weirded out just thinking about it. Sorry.

I stand firmly by my original decision to file this under OPO rather than S & D.

"E.T. (I Love You)" rules! ;)

Pac-Man Fever rocks.. in small doses. I definitely couldn't listen to it more than once a month or so, but Pac-Man Fever, Froggys Lament, Do the Donkey Kong - great stuff!

THIS IS NOT A LOVE THREAD! The whole thing sucks and you're supposed to help me determine which part sucks the most!

I'd like to set one thing straight: Mark Prindle has never spoken the truth about anything and never will. Thank you.

It does suck. I remember buying it at Woolworth's on 86th and 3rd Avenue in the early 80's out of sheer curiosity, taking it home and playing it, and then wanting to smash it over Bucker & Garcia's respective heads and then slashing their throats with the sharp, vinyl shards.

I've been looking for this for a couple years now. I'm assuming it's pretty bad but I'm still curious.

yes admittedly - i bought it with no prior knowledge and out of curiousity as well - and with such a great theme for an album, I expected it to be much better. Was thoroughly dissapointed for a couple years, but it slowly grew on me..

I interviewed Buckner and Garcia once, they were super nice Southern gents....I think they've put out a CD reissue themselves and are selling it online somewhere.

TS: "ET (I Love You)" vs. "Heartlight"
