Happy birthday to Ray Parker, Jr.! 58 and still rocking at guitar!
Ghostbusters unplugged
Someone snagged Ray Parker Jr. to perform at their Christmas party and the crowd pleaser, as you might imagine, turned out to be this acoustic version of the GB theme.
Big ups to Todd at the BCGBs for the link!
Thunderbusters returns… with a video!
Do you recall the AC/DC and Ghostbusters mash-up, Thunderbusters? It was awhile ago, I know, but it was one of the better examples of a mash-up with the Ray Parker Jr. classic.
Well, now some clever wag has cut the videos for the two songs together, to accompany the mash-up.
Psychiatric evaluation of Ray Parker Jr.
Well, someone had to do it. The guy is stalking and obsessing over this woman living in a neon house, ranting about invisible men…
UK Radio announcers wiser than their listeners.
A cruel headline, no doubt, but c’mon…
Listeners of Magic 105.4FM in the UK, have been voting for their top 40 movie songs, and despite the support of announcers Stephen “The Office” Merchant and Jimi Mistry, Ray Parker Jr’s Ghostbusters didn’t reach the top spot – Celine Dion’s My Heart Will Go On took the top spot.
Other spots not held by the Ghostbusters theme (which, I will point out, everybody knows how to sing along with – can that be said of Titanic’s theme. No!) include number four (Dirty Dancing’s Time Of My Life), and number three (Armageddon’s I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing.) Whether Ghostbusters takes a consolation second place or not will have to wait until Monday, May 3rd – the top 40 will be counted down starting at 10AM. A TV countdown programme will air at 2PM that same day on Magic TV.
Of the Ray Parker Jr classic;
The presenters plumped for Ray Parker Jr’s theme to Ghostbusters as their favourite film song. “It evokes fond memories of childhood,” said Merchant.
