HELLO GHOSTBUSTERS? RAY PARKER JR IS UNDER MY BED AND HE KEEPS SINGING – NO WAIT DON’T HANG UP!

DISCLAIMER: Although I used to have the Ghostbusters soundtrack on cassette, I’m a much bigger fan of the movie than I am of the theme song. And I would say the song has probably aged about as well as the 80s production values of the music video. (Neon was big in 1984. As were models in SFW lingerie.) 

But Ghostbusters is one of the greatest films of the 20th century, so who am I to be critical?
