Oh man, that's a shame. I actually just contacted them not too long ago about a song they'd never released; I got a response from Jerry Buckner right away. A couple of class acts. Gary will be missed.

They did a promotional cover of "Pac-Man Fever" called "Pokémon Fever". I found out about it through searching around for info on the album. I still have the e-mail:

Is there some way I can get this online? I run a Pokémon fansite, so between this and my being a fan of you, I'm very much interested in finding and listening to something like this.

Thanks a bunch, and have a good day.

Thanks for contacting us concerning the Pokemon song.

We did temporarily record a version of Pac Man Fever with Pokemon lyrics as a promotion a few years back but it was never released commercially due to licensing issues.

For that reason we are unable to provide any copies to the public.

Best Wishes,
Jerry Buckner
Buckner & Garcia

He got back to me within a week, and personally. I really appreciated that.

that's awesome. I never knew that. Did you ever find a leak of it or anything?

Heh, that's what I tried to do before I e-mailed him. There's next to no information about it, and no music. It's really weird. The fact that I happened to stumble upon the info I did is crazy enough in itself.

I ought to try to find this again. Maybe one of my arcade gaming friends has inside info on where I can find it.
