“Weird Al” Yankovic shares his unreleased Beatles parody about Pac-Man
In some alternate universe, “Weird Al” Yankovic could have been a novelty song one-hit-wonder like Jerry Buckner and Gary Garcia instead of becoming the greatest parody musician of all time. That’s because he once wrote a song about Pac-Man, and if not for the overly litigious (or maybe appropriately litigious) lawyers working for he Beatles, his Pac-Man song could’ve been the song we all think about when we think about Pac-Man songs. Now, Yankovic is finally releasing his Pac-Man song—a parody of “Tax Man” by the Beatles—as part of his career-spanning Squeeze Box collection.
