Post Stuff: What's Wrong with this Teaser?

What, in the hell, was that music in the second half?

I've seen "Ghostbusters" a good number of times. I guess I could admit to maybe watching it over a 100 times (once every month or two over 20 years...). So, with that in mind, considering it's all so familiar and well-worn to me, like the best of blue jeans ... where did that awful theme song come from? And who can I thank for making sure it never hit the screens?

This teaser isn't on my DVD. And I've somehow never seen it. Think about it like this: a couple of editorial and musical changes could have forced this film into obscurity. But like Harold Ramis once said on the commentary, "it's a kick-ass song." I'm pretty sure he said that.

Thank you Ray Parker Jr. Busting does make me feel good.
