Arranging the music of one song...
"Start Music"
Primary Game: Pac-Man (Namco , 1980, ARC), music by Toshio KaiPosted 2000-02-26, evaluated by djpretzel
This just cracks me up all to bits . . Sinergia, a band from Chile, South America, put together this hard funk mix of Pac-Man, complete with smashingly good lyrics, for your listening pleasure . . It's rather well done, with nice bass and wah-wah guitar, and it's also wonderfully goofy as well. . .

No puedo dejar de jugar this track 24 years later! Gracias to those that have commented more about the band and their other stuff.

Wow this is actually really interesting. I could see it being posted today as some kind of ""controversial"" remix. It's creative for sure, even if it's not everyone's cup of tea. I don't speak or understand Spanish but I think the song is pretty amusing and definitely 'listenable'.
Also, side note, what is with production on old OCR being consistently not-fantastic? It's not like MUSIC sounded worse back in the day... eh whatever. This song is better than some, anyway.
The OCR standards were still improving from 1999 to 2007 or so; the production is more consistent from 2007-on.

In the earliest days of OCR, djp contacted the artists and asked if he could include specific songs on the site, so Sinergia, Chris Abbott, Instant Remedy, and IIRC, Rayza's first mix (among others) were ones where djp reached out to those artists in his efforts to get music in the very beginning of the site.
Ah, interesting.
I still encourage people to listen to Sinergia's music. It's hilarious and amazing. If you speak Spanish you'll love the lyrics, but the style is ridiculously fun even if you can't understand what the hell the lyrics are about.

It's quite unlikely that the band themselves uploaded this song here though, but you never know.

As far as the most creative take on this theme, the competition is actually pretty tough between this, Cloud Garden and Glass Cage.. All great examples how you can bend a little (but weighty) video game tune in many, many surprising directions.

Wow, this is pretty damn cool for the 28th remix, it aged quite well. Even despite its age, it is probably the most creative remix of this short-but-sweet jingle. Love the Spanish spirit of this song. And the funk here is just damn catchy. Nice!

I almost fell off my chair laughing to this. This is hilarious. It's like Spanish Screamo.

I'd have never expected to find something like this here lol.
Sinergia is actually a pretty popular rock band here in Chile. They call their style "Metal Pajarito", which literally translates to "Birdie Metal".
It's quite unlikely that the band themselves uploaded this song here though, but you never know.
P.D. If you liked this song, check other songs by these guys (you can find more in Youtube):

.They are a fun band, with quite an interesing take on metal music. Drums and bass are amazing in most of their songs.

Now this has flavor! This ReMix is a buried treasure for sure and it's got so much to offer in such a different sounding package. The way it goes from smooth and cool to hard-hitting guitars and then the more lively part from 2:50 on and back was awesome! So much Chile soul in this one. If I had to nit-pick, I'd say my only wish was that the guitars were louder in the "Pac-Man!" parts, so that it wasn't overtaken by the singer. Still, this is a beast ReMix.

How is this not a cult favourite? It's a remarkably strong gem buried in the archaic drum-looped MIDI wasteland of the early OCR catalogue. And one of those VERY rare beasts that could even pass off as a modern mix. Dare I say it might pass the judges...? (No. No, I would not dare.)
Technically, its a pretty basic package, but it's adorned with so much personality and surprisingly interesting expansions of the source tune. I'm actually pretty stunned that something like this came so early. Very enjoyable stuff. It's a tragedy that I had forgotten this thing existed for so long. It should be one of the greats.

Wow, I wasn't expecting something like this at all.
Pretty awesome, and runs way longer than expected.
I like it

Fantastic stuff. I love how there are so many gems to discover in OCR even after listening for so long..

I forgot that this mix existed. I'm ashamed, because this song is SO GLORIOUS.

SPANISH:
No me gusta ver como le amargan la vida
A mis amigos con el sueño perdido.
Miras el reloj y te pones a temblar
Sabiendo que llega el momento de llorar.
Te hacen decir
Cosas que no quieres.
Te hacen hacer
Cosas que no debes.
El momento llegó, llegó,
De ponerse a jugar otra vez.
¡Hey!
Yo tuve infancia normal
En que nada me llegó a perturbar.
Pero aprendí a controlar
Al monstruo que devora sin cesar.
Ahora no puedo dejar de jugar,
Ya no puedo dejar de jugar...
¡PAC-MAN!
¡PAC-MAN!
¡PAC-MAN!
¡PAC-MAN!
Ellos tuvieron infancia normal
En que nada les llegó a perturbar.
Pero aprendieron a controlar
Al monstruo que devora sin... sin cesar.
Ahora no pueden dejar de jugar,
No, ya no pueden dejar de jugar, jugar...
¡PAC-MAN!
¡PAC-MAN!
¡PAC-MAN!
¡PAC-MAN!
¡Y dice...
A bailar el twist!
No puedo dejar,
No puedo dejar,
No puedo dejar de jugar.
No puedo dejar,
No puedo dejar,
No puedo dejar...
La vida es tan solo jugar jugar.
La vida es tan solo jugar jugar.
La vida es tan solo jugar jugar.
Te digo la vida es tan solo jugar, jugar.
Te digo la vida es tan solo jugar, jugar.
La vida...
La vida...
La vida...
La vida...
¡La vida es tan solo...
JUGAR!
¡PAC-MAN!
ENGLISH:
I don't like to see how they ruin the life
Of my friends with their lost dreams.
You look at the clock and start shaking,
Knowing the time to cry is coming.
They make you say
Things that you don't want to.
They make you do
Things you shouldn't do.
The time has come, has come,
To start playing again.
Hey!
I had a normal childhood,
In which nothing bothered me.
But I learned to control
The monster that devours non-stop.
And now I can't stop playing,
I just cannot stop playing...
PAC-MAN!
PAC-MAN!
PAC-MAN!
PAC-MAN!
They had a normal childhood,
In which nothing bothered them.
But they learned to control
The monster that devours non-, non-stop.
And now they can't stop playing,
Oh no, they just cannot stop playing...
PAC-MAN!
PAC-MAN!
PAC-MAN!
PAC-MAN!
And it goes like,
Do the twist!
I can't stop,
I can't stop,
I can't stop playing.
I can't stop,
I can't stop,
I can't stop...
Life is just playing.
Life is just playing.
Life is just playing.
I tell you, life is just playing.
I tell you, life is just playing.
Life...
Life...
Life...
Life...
Life is just...
PLAYING!
PAC-MAN!
