Pac-Man has inspired everything from a guitar to cereal, so it makes sense that someone wrote a song about the game.

Start Over by Mostly Harmless includes metal and jazz solos meant to represent the perspectives of the big yellow eater and the transparent multi-hued eaties. It also has an amazing solo comprised entirely of mixed up Pac-Man arcade sounds. The lyrics are a bit of a stretch, but it's still worth checking out.

Inky, Blinky, Clyde, better move aside
Energizer ride for the cherries
Pinky cannot hide in the blue divide
Ghost and Man collide, he gets buried

Time's up, Pinky takes a stand
in the center of the map
His two eyes float away and
here he haunts again

His eyes rebound with delight
As I scramble to the right
Appearing on the left, why won't this maze end?

And you start over, and you start over.
