Imagine, if you will, an alternate reality where John Belushi kicked his drug habit and starred alongside Eddie Murphy in Ghostbusters, with this song as the main theme
Lyrics: An apparition walks through your wall He lives in the kitchen, but he died in the hall Who do you talk to? Who can you call? Ghostbusters! We'll take care of it all! Ghostbusters (We believe you) Ghostbusters (Those ghosts will leave you) Ghostbusters (We trap them, we put them away) Could be a demon or a bump in the night You're not dreamin', we're gonna set things right Don't get a sidekick, you just need your team You a man with a sidekick, or a man like me? Ghostbusters (We believe you) Ghostbusters (Those ghosts will leave you) Ghostbusters (Give us a call) Ghostbusters (We trap them, we put them away) You're gone now and it's time to move you out We don't care if you used to own this house We don't care if you used to live here once We don't care if this used to be your room Are you livin' in your world, or are you livin' in mine? Can't live in both worlds. Make up your mind. We're coming to get cha', don't be afraid We'll get cha' you bet cha'! We know the tricks of the trade! Ghostbusters (We believe you) Ghostbusters (Those ghosts will leave you) Ghostbusters (Give us a call) Ghostbusters We believe you We believe you
@frapsap I think you're half right, but at one part I still think they're saying "Don't get a sidekick, you just need your team" mainly because it fits better with the next verse, but what you heard still wouldn't be very out of place in this song. And, thanks for correcting me.
i wish it went An apparition walks through your wall He lives in the kitchen, but he died in the hall Who can you talk to? Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters! We'll take care of it all!
I believe it’s more a demo for the studio’s approval than a finished version. I know one of the artists noted the inexplicably bad mix. It sounds like it’s being played on a radio smothered underneath a pillow.
This song was repurposed, and used in the 1987 Dan Aykroyd & Tom Hanks movie Dragnet! It was retitled "Dance Or Die" and it is on RUclips: ruclips.net/video/A7VBJjYWk5I/видео.html
Meh... I can see why Columbia Pictures dropped this track, in favor of the one by Ray Parker Jr. This one...doesn't quite sell the concept. But RAY's... That one SELLS IT every time it plays! Like a techno-pop military cadence march chant. Perfect, when you want to assemble an army of paranormal soldiers. WHO YOU 'GONNA CALL? (GHOST-BUSTERS!!)
Somewhere in an alternative universe, this little number is playing in somebody's bedroom and they know none the wiser about the massive hit we all know today😂🎉
*My reaction to the instrumental:* Hey, this is actually pretty catchy! ^w^ *My reaction to the lyrics:* I changed my mind. Can someone hand me a power washer? i need to wash this out of my head. (Seriously, even ignoring the bad singing, the lyrics are just... not that great imo. Blegh)
Was not a fan of the song either. Especially the Missy-E part. "They coming busting in, killing all them ghosts." Ghosts are already dead, that's why they're GHOSTS! My sister likes the 2016 movie more than me, but even she was like "Why didn't they just use the original song?" and this is from someone who hasn't seen the original movie.
@@genesis-138 Especially since you can't kill a ghost. In the Ghostbusters lore you can disperse a ghost but it will either reform itself at a later date or create more ghosts.

Your comment gets me every time because I read it in his voice.
It probably does exist somewhere out there awsome thought.
And John Candy was aloud to have Louis Tully portray the Karl Bildenhausen character from SCTV.
Ghost Smashers.
@@MichiganGhostbusters Hehehe, totally agree!
This was actually remixed and rewritten and used in the movie "Dragnet," as the song "Dance or Die."
I knew it sounded familiar, and I was STILL picturing Dan Aykroyd!
Wow, I can't believe we finally get to hear this.
That’s awesome. Love the 80s experimental sounds.
Lyrics:
An apparition walks through your wall
He lives in the kitchen, but he died in the hall
Who do you talk to? Who can you call?
Ghostbusters! We'll take care of it all!
Ghostbusters (We believe you)
Ghostbusters (Those ghosts will leave you)
Ghostbusters (We trap them, we put them away)
Could be a demon or a bump in the night
You're not dreamin', we're gonna set things right
Don't get a sidekick, you just need your team
You a man with a sidekick, or a man like me?
Ghostbusters (We believe you)
Ghostbusters (Those ghosts will leave you)
Ghostbusters (Give us a call)
Ghostbusters (We trap them, we put them away)
You're gone now and it's time to move you out
We don't care if you used to own this house
We don't care if you used to live here once
We don't care if this used to be your room
Are you livin' in your world, or are you livin' in mine?
Can't live in both worlds. Make up your mind.
We're coming to get cha', don't be afraid
We'll get cha' you bet cha'! We know the tricks of the trade!
Ghostbusters (We believe you)
Ghostbusters (Those ghosts will leave you)
Ghostbusters (Give us a call)
Ghostbusters
We believe you
We believe you

i wish it went

It could use a lot of refinement, and they clearly made the right choice for the movie's theme, but man. This is still kind of a bop.
I believe it’s more a demo for the studio’s approval than a finished version.
I know one of the artists noted the inexplicably bad mix. It sounds like it’s being played on a radio smothered underneath a pillow.
After like 15 times, I think my brain ironically likes this ... Please help.
they've trapped and they've put you away don't worry this song also has me hooked
Not bad for an early version.
Lets be glad this is the demo souns to 80s funky

I'll be damned! So that's why it sounded so familiar to me! Thank you for posting that! 👍
@@bradpeterson7957 You're welcome! It didn't exist on RUclips, and the only way I could get people to compare the two was to upload it myself!
@@LarryLeeMoniz I'm so glad you did! It would've drove me nuts trying to figure out where I had heard that similar sound from years ago lol
@@LarryLeeMoniz Thank you!
I still need to hear the full version of the oh oh oh oh oh Ghostbusters song from the first teaser lol.
What trailer are you referencing?
@@GazB85 This one ruclips.net/video/OqpumEZmxa0/видео.html
@@ArtyDarth no he means this one m.ruclips.net/video/gsJlXMZoMSc/видео.html
The very first teaser
This is the theme that plays on the Ghostbusters DVD from Wish
The version on Tubi
I feel like I just jumped multi’verses and am discovering a whole new GB world lol
i know right? now we know what time travel and dimensional jumps feel like
I love hughes music but i can't say id take this over the Ghostbusters theme we got

It's awful, but fascinating at the same time.
So it’s awfully fascinating…?
@@MazzaMedia_ it’s what you’d call a guilty pleasure
@@untunedguitar45 Speak for yourself. I'd just call it a pleasure.
It'd be a lot better if it was mixed, sung, and recorded better.
Theres another version that wasn’t used, that you can hear in the showest promo film.
Somewhere in an alternative universe, this little number is playing in somebody's bedroom and they know none the wiser about the massive hit we all know today😂🎉
hahahaha half way thru I was already missing Ray Parker Jr.
I can't see it as the original theme. It sits right more alongside saving the day.
I wish they would put this out somewhere in better quality, but this is awesome nonetheless.
I like it!
Yikes. That sucks. I'm 66 and Ray Parker Jr is IT. #GhostbustersNYC2024
*My reaction to the instrumental:* Hey, this is actually pretty catchy! ^w^

(Seriously, even ignoring the bad singing, the lyrics are just... not that great imo. Blegh)
So glad this didn’t stick. It pales in comparison to the final song.
later Ray based Ghostbusters theme on their song "I Want a New Drug"
@@PeataPoeet damn didn't know hewy was inspiration
just realized it's basically this songs 40 year anniversary
Nice
I like the music, but not the lyrics. It was nice to be able to hear it though.
After listening to it a few more times. I dig it!
Don’t suppose this song will be available for download on iTunes?
Ya saying this is bad?? tuh! for the 80s this is a bop.
Wowie Zowie!! I’ve been a GB nut since my kiddo years & I never knew this existed!! How wonderful!!
Better than the version by Fallout boy and Missy-E for the 2016 version that sucked.

@@GESSO217 Unfortunately, killing ghosts is a part of that movie's confusing logic.

weird science meets b side oingo boingo
ITS SOOOOO CREEPY!!!! DO NOT recommend listening to this at night.
Yeah no.. this.. no. They made the right call going with Ray Parker Jr
i'd like to hear richard marx sing this
when you move a chair in the past
you got a download link?
Wonder if the full master exists still so this terrible mix job can be fixed?
Okay Ummmmm call me crazy but I like this song better
nah your not crazy i like it to
Hi crazy
Sounds fair but it's kinda muggy
Sounds like shit … it needs a upgrade

Wasn’t the writer of this on cocaine for a week?! Lol
The sound mixer. Would explain why the mix sounds like ass.
YUCK
