This just cracks me up all to bits . . Sinergia, a band from Chile, South America, put together this hard funk mix of Pacman, complete with smashingly good lyrics, for your listening pleasure . . It's rather well done, with nice bass and wah-wah guitar, and it's also wonderfully goofy as well. . .

Now this has flavor! This ReMix is a buried treasure for sure and it's got so much to offer in such a different sounding package. The way it goes from smooth and cool to hard-hitting guitars and then the more lively part from 2:50 on and back was awesome! So much Chile soul in this one. If I had to nit-pick, I'd say my only wish was that the guitars were louder in the "Pac-Man!" parts, so that it wasn't overtaken by the singer. Still, this is a beast ReMix.

How is this not a cult favourite? It's a remarkably strong gem buried in the archaic drum-looped MIDI wasteland of the early OCR catalogue. And one of those VERY rare beasts that could even pass off as a modern mix. Dare I say it might pass the judges...? (No. No, I would not dare.)
Technically, its a pretty basic package, but it's adorned with so much personality and surprisingly interesting expansions of the source tune. I'm actually pretty stunned that something like this came so early. Very enjoyable stuff. It's a tragedy that I had forgotten this thing existed for so long. It should be one of the greats.

Wow, I wasn't expecting something like this at all. :O
Pretty awesome, and runs way longer than expected.
I like it :-)

Fantastic stuff. I love how there are so many gems to discover in OCR even after listening for so long..

I just stumbled on this through the Rainwave stream.
So awesome.

I forgot that this mix existed. I'm ashamed, because this song is SO GLORIOUS.

Spanish is my fist language... so.. i tried to translate to english this goofy song.
Don't laugh at my bad english ~D:
I don't like to see how they ruin
my friend's life with their lost dreams
You look at the clock and start shaking
Knowing the time to cry is coming
They make you say
things you don't want to say
They make you do
things you shouldn't do
The time has come
To start playing again...
I had a normal infancy
Nothing got to disturb myself
But i learned to control
The non-stop devouring monster
Now i can't stop to play...
PAC MAN!
They had a normal infancy
Nothing got to disturb them
But they learned to control
The non-stop devouring monster
Now they can't stop to play...
PAC MAN!
And it goes like...
Do the twist!
I can´t stop
I can´t stop
I can´t stop to play
I can´t stop
I can´t stop
I can´t stop
Life is just to play, to play...
Life is just to play, to play...
Life is just to play, to play...
I said life is just to play, to play...
I said life is just to play, to play...
Life...
Life...
Life...
Life... is just to...
PLAY...
PAC MAN!!!

I'm from Chile and I will post the TRUE SPANISH LYRIC of this song:
No me gusta ver como le amargan la vida
Amis amigos con el sueño perdido
Miras el reloj y te pones a temblar
Sabiendo que llega el momento de llorar
Te hacen decir
cosas que no quieres
Te hacen hacer
Cosas que no debes
El momento llego, llego
De ponerse a jugar otra vez
Yo tuve infancia normal
En que nada me llego a perturbar
Pero aprendi a controlar
Al monstruo que devora sin cesar
Ahora no puedo dejar de jugar
Ya no puedo dejar de jugar...
PAC-MAN!!
PAC-MAN!!
PAC-MAN!!
PAC-MAN!!
Ellos tuvieron infancia normal
En que nada les llego a perturbar
Pero aprendieron a controlar
Al monstruo que devora sin... sin cesar
Ahora no pueden dejar de jugar
Ya no pueden dejar de jugar
PAC-MAN!!
PAC-MAN!!
PAC-MAN!!
PAC-MAN!!
Y dice...
A bailar el twist.
No puedo dejar
No puedo dejar
No puedo dejar de jugar
No puedo dejar
No puedo dejar
No puedo dejar...
La vida es tan solo jugar jugar
La vida es tan solo jugar jugar
La vida es tan solo jugar jugar
Te digo la vida es tan solo jugar jugar
Te digo la vida es tan solo jugar jugar
La vida...
La vida...
La vida...
La vida...
La vida es tan solo...
JUGAR!!
PAC-MAN!!

That's mostly what i think too. Sinergia has donw a really good job to play one of the shortest themes LIVE (in what appears to be inside of a arcade hall?), and they've also deciced to do it on spanish. This should be enough to download this, but yet, it sounds terrible. I can take it when they sings the lyrics in general, but when they start to scream PAC MAN out loud, that's simply just not my cup of tea. Although it did get interesting when they started to do their little twist, I'm not downloading it.
However, congrats to Sinergia for making the first live and lyriced remix on this site! (I'm not sure, but it's an old remix measured in OCR years.)

I'd like to consider myself one, but I am mostly unable to get this one.
This is what I have so far, though it is very innaccurate.
No me gusta haber coma la marga la vida
A mis amigo con el soyo perdido
Mira sobre logi pon y seta plan
Sabido que llega el momento de llorar
Se hacen la sir, cosas que ujeren
Se hacen el san, cosas que no beben
El momento llegó, llegó
El momento hace jugar, otra vez
No tuve impartil normal
En que nada me llegó abre culpar
Pero al dia de controlar
Al muntro que debur a sin cesar
Ya no puedo dejar de jugar
Ya no puedo dejar de jugar
PAC MAN
PAC MAN
Ellas tuvieron impartil normal
En que nada les llegó abre culpar
Pero al manera de control
Al muntro que debur a sin cesar
Ya no puedo dejar de jugar
Ya no puedo dejar de jugar, jugo

Spanish is my first language, so here are the real lyrics:
No me gusta ver como le amargan la vida
a mis amigos con el sueño perdido
miras el reloj y te pones a temblar
sabiendo que llega el momento de llorar
te hacen decir cosas que no quieres
te hacen hacer cosas que no debes
el momento llegó, llegó

al monstruo que devora sin cesar
ahora no puedo dejar de jugar
ya no puedo dejar de jugar

PAC MAN
PAC MAN
PAC MAN
PAC MAN
y dice
"A bailar el 'twist'!"
No puedo dejar
No puedo dejar
No puedo dejar de jugar
No puedo dejar
No puedo dejar
No puedo dejar...
La vida está en sólo jugar, jugar

Just a few corrections of another lyrics transcript attempt.

This is one of the crazier stuff I've heard, but it comes together in the end like some people said before. YOu've got some really nice live stuff happening here.

- Robotaki on October 13, 2005

Yeah, I dig on remixes with vocals. Even if they suck, it is obvious that effort was put in. And as we all know, the more you put in, the more you get out.
The live feel is pretty dope as well. I hope to see more Mexicano rappers around here.

What in the hell.

I guess we won't be seeing a second submission, though...

To top it off, the vocals are in Spanish...we need more of this stuff! I didn't think there was a Spanish rock remix of any song, but here we go.
