"Pacock" - Buckner & Garcia. Star0012

And you thought "Devil went down my Pants" was the most unlistenable Starmart album ever. I challenge anyone to listen to a full rotation of this shit. You may be too young to remember the novelty hit "Pacman Fever", but it seems like just yesterday to me, and whodda thought that the genuises that wrote it actually released a whole album of 'video game anthems'. Yes, they all start with samples of the game in question, yes, they all sound kindov like Kenny Loggins, but with less talent(?!?), and yes they two sound sometimes like two old bearded paedophiles (check out 'ode to the centipede', for some real creepy voice overs). But wait, theres MORE!... you also get some of their non-spaceys songs...'Mr T' (the lamest 'T' impersonator on this track), the heart-renching 'E.T, I love you', and 'Hostage"- which is these guys ripping off that Billy Joel song that ripped off that REM song. I could go on forever about this little gem...
