Rue Morgue Radio, the aural wing of the Rue Morgue Magazine empire, featured a look at the Ghostbusters theme this week, which is a nice encapsulation of the history of the tune. And then they kind of cause a headscratcher by playing Ghostbusters by… Allister? I’m not an expert in the Ghostbusters cover versions, but I always thought this version was by Attaboy Skip. Were we wrong? And if we’re not, it’s a shame they didn’t know – Attaboy Skip was also sued by Huey Lewis for their cover, according to the band, and have since then referred to it as Ghost Chasing Science Guys. A nice treat is their except interview with Ernie Hudson, from previous years, but given he opens by saying he doesn’t think the movie is going to get made, it’s in contrast to this week’s excitement rumours and news.
Have a listen for yourself - Rue Morgue Radio should be a weekly must listen, particularly around this time of year.

just to confirm , it IS attaboy skip who did the ska punk cover of ‘ghostbusters’
it is however credited to lots of other bands, probably because they didnt want to get sued!
Wow, Huey Lewis, a class act all the way.
After Huey Lewis’ last Ghostbusters Song Court Date he was poisoned, stabbed, shot, hung, stretched, disemboweled, drawn and quartered by fans of the Boys in Grey. Just before his head died, his last words were “It’s Hip to Be Square!!”
LOL I LOVE HUEY! AND THAT WAS PROBLY THE FUNNIEST THING IVE HEARD ALL DAY LOL
Lol, I assume you’re implying “a class act[ion lawsuit] all the way.”
Huey really will never get over the dumbass decision to pass on writing the theme himself, will he?
What if… Mr. Lewis were to right a new theme song for Ghostbusters 3? What would the ramifications of that be?
