Someone else's comment elsewhere: If 1st half was a Ghostbusters quote: "This man has no dick." If 2nd half was a Ghostbusters quote: "I love this town!!" Not mine or agreed, just thought it was funny.
Ray Parker Jr. is a LEGEND yet Mick Smiley made a song that should've been just as HUGE! Love that it kinda reminds me of Man On the Corner by Genesis. ❤
I love both versions (the original where it’s soft then cuts to the dark part AND this one) but I think the version in ghostbusters was necessary for the vibe of that scene because I mean you don’t have soft, sweet music playing when a deity from c. 5500 - c. 3100 BC is summoned. The “take my hand, walk with me” with the background singers gives me chills every time
Wow it really is a song of two halves, a Jekyll and Hyde of a track. Slow and sensual one half, rhythmic, danceable and dark the other. It was a great choice for the ghostbusters movie, it really energised that scene and added suspense and electricity to the excellent visuals.
Kinda reflects the genius of the movie. Also it important to point out that Ghostbusters comes from a time in cinema when not everything was sanitised and assumed that kids could handle a few scares.
Was watching Ghostbusters today and heard this and learned the name compliments of closed captioning lol. It takes a lot of imagination after hearing the full song and video to imagine it having any place in that movie lol.
I can't understand why this song didn't have the success that had to have, it's so beautiful especially the chorus, even the videoclip is enough sad, it makes see a man who meets a woman in a cocktail bar and he falls in love with her very fastly, in fact he starts thinking of her until he sees her get out from the bar
This song is so freaking SMOOTH! 👌 LOVE the complete transition from soft love ballad to that BADASS tune played in the OG Ghostbusters film! 👻 *Side note: That diner at the beginning of the video is Rae's Restaurant on Pico Blvd in Santa Monica, CA! ❤ My parents & I used to go there alot during the late 90s and eat breakfast! That place has been there since 1958, and I'm amazed how they've survived through so much over the years, especially during Covid & the pandemic ... yes, it's STILL there to this day! 💪👏
No matter how many times I listen to this version (and it's been a TON...), I'm just never ready for the faster part to come on as early as it does here. (Then again, I've listened to the film version 3 billion tons, so...)
Love both versions, this version feels much more relaxed than the other and very easy listening. The other tends to draw you in more and gives off more energy.
Woah. After 30+ years, this is the original that I always never bothered to search for. Hell, I just grabbed the 9 minute version from another source. HUZZAH!
The tempo change is so brief, I wanted more in the original recording. Mick Smiley worked with the production crew of Ghostbusters to extend that section of the song, I read.
Really great video. Pity Arista apparently never bothered to push it and it was actually never played on mtv. (according to Mick Smiley).. Teresa Hartendrop is pure magic here! What a diamond of a song that has several great versions and is so so so so forgotten about, its awesome to hear people ask you what it is and play again because they've never heard it. Amazing stuff.
AGREED! I could not believe I was the 'only one' back as a 12 year old, after buying the soundtrack, that could not believe how cool this song was. Was I alone?!? BTW,...I play this song when I perform real magic illusions for people.
@@NewAgeGigolo wow thank you very much for your awesome reply! I was born in April 84 but GB was my first love. I still remember my aunt bringing me to GB2 in 89 and getting these empty little cans , like coke cans , with the GB2 logo on them and being told that it had a ghost in it lol! I don’t know if you are familiar but in 09 a ghostbusters game came out with all the original cast (yes even Bill) that is essentially the third film. It’s a real love letter to the movies and I absolutely recommend checking it out if you are a fan. I’m a big fan of 80s music, stuff like Prince, New Order,The Cure, Depeche Mode, Erasure,Nitzer Ebb,Berlin, Cindy Lauper, March Violets, T’Pau...all Rod Stewart’s 80s stuff (like Baby Jane and Young Turks) there’s nothing like music for bringing you back in time and energising a memory. Oh and wow am I really loving that you perform magic. I’m a bit of a magic fan but apart from the few Tenyo tricks and cars tricks I know I have no idea where to start!
Great song to put on the cassette (!) Deck back in high school when out "parking" with my g/f. Someone should really try to do a new version (tastefully) of this really cool song.
I wish this music video had been included on the 15th Anniversary Collector's Edition DVD release of Ghostbusters along with the Ghostbusters music video performed by Ray Parker Jr.
I searched this song to prove to myself you can find anything on youtube these days. I didn't even know people even knew of this song. It was my favorite song of the ghostbusters soundtrack when i was kid, and i still remember all the words to this song.
I remember when I first met my hubby he had complete stars in his eyes and even his eyes smiled that day and to this day we still have stars in our eyes even after 17 years of marriage and two teens later it will always be magic 🪄 ❤️🔥💞
"This was on at one point and then taken off" I had uploaded (believe it or not) it on youtube years ago. I still don't know why I took it off and...where I found it in the first place!
An underrated gem of an 80s tune, and a surprisingly good video to boot! I can't believe this exists. Where'd you ever find it? Thanks so much for posting!!
I could not believe I was the 'only one' back as a 12 year old, after buying the soundtrack, that could not believe how cool this song was. Was I alone?!? BTW,...I play this song when I perform real magic illusions for people.
You weren't. Actually, I recall that when my parents bought me the CD, the first time I played it, I kept looking for the ghost mayhem song and couldn't find it, so I let the CD play from the top and found myself really enjoying this slow ballad..until the ghost song started playing and I went "oooooh". It's definitely one of the most unique songs ever made. It's like 2 songs in one, and both songs are awesome.
hey seriously, thanks for this. I used to love this song and I've never seen this video, Reminded me a little of Ric Ocasek's song "Emotion in Motion". For those who didn't live through the 80's, you really missed out. The world was a much much happier place and music could save your soul, oh and Michael Jackson was a different shade and kicked ass before all the lies about him came out. People are so greedy. AAaaanyway, I digress, thanks for this. I've watched it several times and sent it to a few of my pals. Keep on keeping on.
thanks for the video... I wondered who the artist was that had that haunting music after the grid was shut down and the ghosts were released on the movie. I love this song
This is the original version when it was played on MTV (when they played music videos). The version in the movie was technically a remix for the film. I have 2 copies of the soundtrack on CD. the first is the US release where the song was more like the movie. The second (I want to say) is a UK release, the song is more like this version.
Haunting and incredible obscure. So this was really never ever released and just appeared on the Ghostbusters Soundtrack in a slightly different version?
@2:17 it was all above board before then, but he lets his imagination get the better of him and he's gotta start undressing her. Oh well. at least it's true to life...
In case some of you guys are wondering who the beautiful exotic looking woman mick fantasizes over, her name is Teresa Crespo hardentorp who is a mix of filipino Dutch and Italian.
Oh 80s, how we miss you FOREVER
Truly.... 😥😢
Only another 59 more years, and it'll be the 80s once agian.
@@toppermcgee7640 Well, let's look forward to it, but then again we might not be around when it comes.
I would do just about anything to go back to the 1980's.

Ok this is too cool. Grew up on the Ghostbusters version. Had no idea this existed and absolutely love it.
Same here! Thanks, RUclips!
Me too! 🙋🏻♀️😍
100%this
Same. I like this one better

Ray Parker Jr. is a LEGEND yet Mick Smiley made a song that should've been just as HUGE! Love that it kinda reminds me of Man On the Corner by Genesis. ❤
The way the song completely changes midway. So much cooler as a whole than just the small bit heard in Ghostbusters
Disagree. Would be pointless to have the ballad when the ghosts where breaking free. Doh!
@@belizon of course! The song on its own is better like this is what I meant I guess
@@j_son77 Subjective. For me the change is too distracting lmao. I prefer the more somber second part on its own

The architect was either a certified genius or an authentic wacko!
So cool! Never saw or heard of this version before.
I’m obsessed with this song.
Most underrated 80s tune ever. Genius songwriting.
How is it underrated when it's literally a famous song?
@@ASMRyouVEGANyet Compared to most 80s hits, this one ranks way down low in popularity.

I bought the lp of the ghostbusters in 1984 for this song, this version is the best and there is another one that is the original, absolutely great!
This beginning kind of reminds me of Phil Collins i can feel it in the air tonight.
yeah it has a phil collins / genesis feel to it
With a tinge of J-pop.
I thought the same thing.
@unitedcity_mc4421 awesome song ain't it.
No matter how many times I listen to this version (and it's been a TON...), I'm just never ready for the faster part to come on as early as it does here. (Then again, I've listened to the film version 3 billion tons, so...)
I have never seen this until today. I remember half the song in Ghostbusters.
I remember this, place your magic on me and take me back...please.
Need a clean/restored version of this. Audio only
Love both versions, this version feels much more relaxed than the other and very easy listening. The other tends to draw you in more and gives off more energy.
Woah. After 30+ years, this is the original that I always never bothered to search for. Hell, I just grabbed the 9 minute version from another source. HUZZAH!
When it progressively changes its just beyond the most beautiful magic 🎩 ✨️ 💛 💖

WOW - I've _never_ seen or heard this particular version of the song, ever before! Thanks a lot... it's really different. :D
Not many people have i think, i believe it's quite rare,, glad u enjoyed it :)
I like the ethereal-ness of the song - distant and yet so light; I can see why they remixed it.
What a song!
This song is everything 🖤
Great song to put on the cassette (!) Deck back in high school when out "parking" with my g/f.

Wooow indeed.. :)
Merci pour cette version vraiment cool et so 80's ! je pense qu'elle est tres rare, je ne l'ai trouvé qu'ici .
this is my fav song from ghostbusters 1 its totally awesome :)
Yes!!!!! Finally this version is back!!! Wow I used to listen to this on RUclips but then it disappeared...
Thank you for bringing it back!!!!
