Ghostbusters [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] The soundtrack for the 1984 blockbuster comedy Ghostbusters, which starred Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis as a New York- based team of spook exterminators, follows the most common soundtrack formula for summer blockbuster hits: throw on a bunch of pop songs that were heard in the movie only for a few seconds, combine them with a couple of excerpts from the original score, and -- voila! -- you have a soundtrack album that makes for a very disjointed, schizophrenic listen, and does very little to conjure memories of the film. The major exceptions to the latter complaint, the songs which do conjure memories of the movie, are the two tracks from Elmer Bernstein's score, Mick Smiley's "Magic," which played a major role in the film, and the witty Ray Parker, Jr. theme song, "Ghostbusters," which earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Song. (He lost to Stevie Wonder's "I Just Called to Say I Love You.") Years later, Parker's refrain of "Who you gonna call?" has remained a part of the cultural lexicon. As for Bernstein's contribution, he has a tendency to write film music characterized by eerie keyboard meanderings which add little to the scenes he writes for. Ghostbusters - Piano Solo.

Ghostbusters (song) After test screenings in early 1984, Ivan Reitman wanted song about 20 seconds in length at the beginning of the movie when Peter and Ray enter the New York City Public Library. [1] Reitman simply wanted a song that said "Ghostbusters" in it. Columbia Pictures spent a lot of money to have different musicians, including Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac and Kenny Loggins, write songs to be considered as the main song for the Ghostbusters movie, but could not find one that they liked. Reitman didn't like any songs he got back either. [2] One of the demons submitted in 1983 was from Pat Thrall and Glen Hughes but it was declined and not used for the movie. [3] They did use the Pat Thrall and Glenn Hughes song for the film's ShoWest exhibitor reel. [4] [5] R&B artist Ray Parker, Jr. happened to be dating a woman who was working for Gary LeMel, an old music industry friend. Parker knew LeMel because he used to play guitar on Barry White's records. Gary LeMel, had suggested that he try his hand at writing a song for the film. It was described as a Ghostbusters theme song opening number for a 20 second segment at the end of the first library scene. [6] [7] In place of a music supervisor on the movie, the head of the music department at Columbia Pictures introduced Ray Parker Jr. to Reitman and co-producer Joe Medjuck. Producer Clive Davis who ran Arista at the time didn't want Parker singing a song about ghosts. Parker's forte was songs about romancing women. Davis took a lot of convincing. The catch was that the song was needed in two to three days since the film due to be released soon. [8] [9] The movie producers wanted a song people could sing along with - without "too much meaning". The hardest task for Parker was coming up with a rhyme for "Ghostbusters". [10] He was half-asleep one night and saw an exterminator commercial on TV. He realized he could frame the song as a commercial and have the chorus scream "Ghostbusters" instead of having to do something conventional like rhyming it. [11] [12] The next day, he finished recording and submitted a cassette tape with just under one and half minutes of the song to Reitman. A short time later, Reitman called Parker at 3:30 or 4:30 in the morning praising the song. Reitman pushed for the 20 second intro song to be made into a single backed by a music video. Official Recordings. These are official recordings of the song by Ray Parker Jr. that have been released to the public by Arista and Sony. Runtimes listed are the official runtimes as listed on the record singles, images of most can be found in the Gallery section below. Some sources list a runtime that is a second or two different, so runtimes are listed as a guide and not meant to be 100% exact. It should also be noted that a few of the 7"/45-rpm records list a 3:45 "regular" version and a 4:07 "Instrumental" version, but that may be an error. No other versions of the "regular" and "instrumental" versions are so short. Maybe the two songs were sped-up for jukebox play. Until it can be proved if that's the case, or not, they are not being listed below but will be noted in this paragraph. Album Version/7" Version/Short Version (4:04) - available on the Soundtrack album and just about every released single. Instrumental Version (4:48) - available on the Soundtrack album and the 30th anniversary record single.

[15] Do note that the original Atari MP3 has ID3 data that gives a "2007" date, which either means that this version was recorded two years before it debuted to the public, or the 2007 date could simply be a mistake.

Music Video. Like many movie soundtrack videos, it uses both a recreation of the concept of the movie and actual clips from the movie.

The lead is singer Ray Parker Jr. and lead actress is Guests. Cast from Film This doesn't include actors that appear in clips from the film. Cameo non-film. Musicians. - vocals, guitar Louis Johnson – bass Greg Phillinganes – keyboards, synthesizer Carlos Vega – drums. Trivia. A snippet of the song plays in Ghostbusters in Chapter 01: Start when the logo and title appear, in the montage in Chapter 14: Welcome Aboard, and after Winston Zeddemore declared, "I love this town!" in Chapter 28: Crossing Streams. According to Ivan Reitman, there was plans to do a second commercial as an elaborate MTV music video with the Ghostbusters singing the "Ghostbusters" song (that could actually be played on MTV) but the song wasn't just right until too late in post-production. [18] The famous "shuffle" performed by the guys at the end of the music video was referenced in the end credits of "The Real Ghostbusters", and again in "Ghostbusters II" for the party Ray and Winston performed at. The music video is seen and heard on a television at the beginning of Ray Parker, Jr.'s "Girls Are More Fun" music video. Ray tries to convince a woman, played by Irene Cara, that he's really Ray Parker Jr. She sarcastically rebuffs him by saying, "Yeah, and I'm Irene Cara,", and then walks away. At this point, Ray sees the "Ghostbusters" music video on a television and comments, "Hey! That's me!". Irene Cara also made a cameo appearance in the "Ghostbusters" music video. [19] A snippet of the song plays in Ghostbusters II in Chapter 01: Start after Dana Barrett retrieves Oscar from the baby carriage then in the next scene, Ray and Winston dance to and sing the "Ghostbusters" song as a cassette recording plays. They only sing the lyrics "If there's something strange in your neighborhood, who ya gonna call?!" and "And it don't look good." A snippet of "Ghostbusters!" from the song plays in Ghostbusters II in Chapter 28: World is Safe Again when the new painting is revealed. It took three years to get the rights to use the song on Ghostbusters: The Video Game. Parker was specific about how much he wanted based on how the song would be used. [20][21] It cost $80,000 for the song to be used on Ghostbusters: The Video Game. [22] On page 26 of Ghostbusters Volume 2 Issue #20, the group shot is a nod to a scene in Ray Parker, Jr.'s "Ghostbusters" music video The song appears as a playable song in Just Dance 2014. The front and back cover of the Ghostbusters: Get Real trade paperback references the Ghostbusters' dance move. Starting with Ghostbusters International #1, on page 27, the homage to the music video from Volume 2 Issue #20 is reused on the page with the crew's social media links. In Ghostbusters International #3, on page 7: In panel 2 is Danny DeVito as seen in the "Ghostbusters" music video In panel 8 is Peter Falk as seen in the "Ghostbusters" music video. Lyrics. If there's something strange, In your neighborhood, Who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS! If there's something weird, And it don't look good, Who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS! I ain't afraid of no ghost. I ain't afraid of no ghost. If you're seeing things, Running through your head, Who can you call? GHOSTBUSTERS! An invisible man, Sleeping in your bed, Who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS! I ain't afraid of no ghost. I ain't afraid of no ghost. Who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS! If you're all alone, Pick up the phone, And call, GHOSTBUSTERS! I ain't afraid of no ghost. I hear it likes the girls. I ain't afraid of no ghost. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! Who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS! If you have dose of a, Freaky ghost, baby, You better call, GHOSTBUSTERS! Let me tell you something, Busting makes me feel good! I ain't afraid of no ghost. I ain't afraid of no ghost. Don't get caught alone, Oh no, GHOSTBUSTERS! When it comes through your door, Unless you just want some more, I think you better call, GHOSTBUSTERS! Who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS! Who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS! I think you better call, GHOSTBUSTERS! Who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS! I can't hear you, Who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS! Louder! GHOSTBUSTERS! Who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS! Who can you call? GHOSTBUSTERS! Who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS! (fades) I think it likes the girls too, GHOSTBUSTERS! Legacy. Pop Culture. The song was number one on Billboard's Hot 100. Parker's "Ghostbusters" and Michael Jackson's "Thriller" were one of the first music videos starring a black music artist to appear on MTV. The song is responsible for adding the catchphrases "Who you gonna call?" and "I ain't afraid of no ghost" into the pop culture lexicon. The song has been repeatedly referenced in assorted forms of media. The Huey Lewis Controversy (see below) was directly referenced in a portion of the Webcomic The Adventures of Dr. McNinja, where the titular character is humming the song when suddenly a nearby person screams "I WANT A NEEEW DRUG", and then says that he thought Dr. McNinja "was humming Huey Luis". Huey Lewis Controversy. Huey Lewis filed a lawsuit claiming the song sounded too much like Huey Lewis and the News' "I Want a New Drug." Others found the score's synthesizer notes (that were held for several seconds) akin to the chord struck in Gary Numan's "Cars". The lawsuit was settled out of court and the outcome was kept private.
