Start Music - Pac-Man

This page is for the Pac-Man (ARC) song. For more songs with the same name, see Start Music.

Start Music is a jingle that plays when a new game begins in Pac-Man.

This song was sampled in several songs, such as Pac-Man Fever by Buckner & Garcia in 1981 and Mope by Bloodhound Gang in 2000.

Wolfpack from Wolfenstein 3D was heavily inspired by this tune, in which the lead melody is slightly altered and slowed down considerably beyond recognition.

Title

Two different official soundtracks - Pac-Man Game Sound Effects and Join the Pac - Pac-Man 40th Anniversary Album - call the song "Start Music" in English and "スタートミュージック" in Japanese. (The latter name is the same as the English title, just written in katakana.)
