its an iconic song, i dont think anyone denies that it was good for its time. but unlike the movie it hasnt stood the test of time. i listen to 80s songs every day still, but that isnt one of them and i dont ever hear it on the satellite radio stations.

Hey Nong Man we all like the song, but that hook is exactly the same.

The phrase "Bustin' makes me feel good" is pretty timeless.

Some of you guys have no taste. That song is still great and it still makes it onto a lot of my playlists.

Bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin' bustin'

I think if there was a remix without the kids saying 'ghost busters' and replacing that low depth synth track up high with an actual trumpet and it would hold up well.

God damnit I half sang the "Bustin makes me feel good" in my head and now it has earwormed into my brain all god damn night. Who you gonna call?

FFffffffffuuuuuu

that song was so overplayed at the time, 30+ years later i still cant make myself listen to it let alone watch the video. i dont even remember if i liked the song, if i did it was ruined by the millions of times i heard it. im not singling that song out, there were other songs that i loved but the radio and mtv killed it for me. i loved me some white zombie more human than human and metallica enter sandman for an example out of many. if i were hear those songs now i would shut off the radio or change the station. maybe in 20 years i can hear them again.

amex is hosting a special screening of ghostbusters on july 13th (3 days before release) for card holders, but its not free you have to pay $10. fuck that. kinda funny that nearly 48 hours after posting you can still get tickets in most of the available cities.

cant get passed the intro. i loved metallica back in the day. ride the lightning, master, and justice and then the "black album. i even saw them in concert when they came to the meadowlands and promptly lost my voice and most of my hearing while moshing up front by the speakers. by the time Load came around though i was done with them forever and one of my favorite songs (enter sandman) was totally played out for me.

While it became iconic because of the success of the movie, let's not try to pretend the original theme song is some sort of musical masterpiece.

For a song from the 80's it is a masterpiece. Shut it.

I kind of liked McCarthy in Spy... but she's so wrong for this role. Just like Zach Galifianakis, as funny as he is, wouldn't make a good Ghostbuster. His humor is acting dumb, not the type of sarcastic eye-rolling humor of Peter Venkman. Murray would just sit there and just give off, "what the fuck let me fucking run game on this chick" vibes, while Ramis and Akroyd were being super nerds, with Hudson constantly tripping.

"I have to calibrate the particle accelerator to correspond with the increased magnetic field intensity amplifying quantum gravity to the maximum threshhold..."
"Ok, go do that back in the lab buddy. I'll be there as soon as I can... you know after I bang this chick and go to the Bahamas for a week."
"But there's goo in the tunnels, the cities under threat, and we're all going to turn into marshmellows!"
"Yeah, that's great. Bye now."

The first twenty-five seconds of the song are perfect. The rest still holds a nostalgic punch, even if it's a little silly.

of course, he's a fucking white male
