Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
Of course I've heard of Pac-Man. But this is not Pac-Man; it's a song. Is it a comedy song?

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
I can't believe you have never heard it. More like a novelty song. It just is a song about the game.
I've been trying to avoid doing this, but I went ahead and pulled-up the song. I have never heard it. I was never a top 40 radio listener, and in 1982, I was listening to these:
And none of them played the Pac-Man song, or half the stuff on these countdowns.

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
I don't actually recall hearing it too much in 1982. But I have heard it on the 80s channel and previous countdowns so I am now familiar.
Heard it on Movin EZ (a deleted SXM channel from years ago). I find it intriguing. I listen to it once in a while.
They're getting down on I.T.
I was 11. I liked Centerfold, Freeze Frame and Piss On The Wall.
I loved this song when it came out. I was target audience ... an 11 year old with "a pocket full of quarters and I'm headin' to the arcade"
Lol almost. That was about 3 years later. Bought a stack from the kid next door.
That just gave me an idea for the "before the internet" thread.
I know I'm missing a couple in the 'earlier' area but I'm brainfarting
