Missy Elliott and Fall Out Boy (‽) have covered the actual proper Ghostbusters theme

  • June 3, 2016

In 'pieces of music you didn't think you'd be wanting to hear a mere 24 hours ago' news, Fall Out Boy and Missy Elliott have col­lab­or­ated on a song for the reswizzled Ghostbusters film.

5 Seconds Of Summer and Elle King have also con­trib­uted tracks to the film but Popjustice's close personal Twitter pal Pete Wentz (!) confirmed last night that Fall Out Boy's Missy col­lab­or­a­tion is a cover of the actual, proper, bustin'-makes-me-feel-good Ray Parker Jr Ghostbusters theme.

crossed one off the kid dream bucket list by covering Ray Parker theme with missy Elliot verse 😁

? indeed, Wentzo.

Let's just remind ourselves what the original sounds like.

Total banger.

Also worth noting that the original video features RPJ dancing down the street with the cast of the film and if that means we're on the verge of wit­ness­ing Missy stomping through the streets of New York wielding a proton pack 2016 is LOOKING UP.
