Ghostbusters Video (MV)




"Ghostbusters" is a song written by American musician Ray Parker Jr. as the theme to the 1984 film Ghostbusters, and included on its soundtrack. Debuting at number 68 on June 16, 1984, the song peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on August 11, staying there for three weeks (Parker's only number one on that chart), and at No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart on September 16, staying there for three weeks. The song reentered the UK Top 75 on November 2, 2008 at No. 49 and again on November 5, 2021, at No. 38.

The song was nominated at the 57th Academy Awards for Best Original Song but lost to Stevie Wonder's "I Just Called to Say I Love You". A lawsuit accusing Parker of basing the song's melody on Huey Lewis and the News's song "I Want a New Drug" resulted in Lewis receiving a settlement.

The theme is estimated to have added $20 million to the film's box-office gross. -Wikipedia

Ray Parker Jr. - Ghostbusters Lyrics
Official




(Ghostbusters)
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
Sleepin' in your bed
Oh, 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
Ooh, I hear it likes the girls
Hm, I ain't afraid of no ghost
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Who you gonna call?
(Ghostbusters)

Mmm, if you've had a dose of a
Freaky ghost, baby
You better call
(Ghostbusters) ow

Lemme tell ya something
Bustin' 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) ow

Who you gonna call?
(Ghostbusters)
Who you gonna call?
(Ghostbusters)
Uh, think you better call
(Ghostbusters)
Ha ha, 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)
