You're hearing the argument again because it's true.  The original theme song was cheesy 1980's music.  This is cheesy 2010's music.

The original theme song has no relevance in the fact that this is complete shit.
And if you think someone is gonna remember this song in 2 months...meanwhile the original is in the mind of a whole generation, for some reason.

This movie looks like ass even if it was the first of the saga, it looks hideous till an insane degree and nostlagia has nothing to do with that, is a bit hilarious the fact that everyone that thinks this looks bad, because it looks bad, is labelled as blinded by nostalgia, when the movie just couldnt look worse than it looks.

They even made fun of it on key and Peele a few years ago. I liked it then. I like it now. I can admit it was a product of its time.

This song iis the main theme song of the actual movie.

Too fast paced and different from the original, I put the video at 0.5 speed after 2 minutes and it was already better...

Lmao.

Reading this thread again give a few chuckles. Thank you, everyone.


This is, at best, a backstreet song tier song, and the cover, at worst, is a One direction cover.


No offense, but the original isn't a masterpiece, cheerleaders shouting "ghostbusters" every 20 seconds and lyrics that are meant to be serious. There are many similar songs from the 80s and 90s. 

It's ok if you enjoy it, it was meant to be a club banger after all, but let's not pretend for a second that it is an influential artistic song that can't be covered or redone by others.
