Will Ray Parker Jr’s “Ghostbusters” theme be in the all-female film???

Leave a comment

A lot of Ghostbusters fans would wonder if the Ray Parker Jr. “Ghostbusters” theme will be in the upcoming Paul Feig all female “Ghostbusters”. Will Ray Parker Jr.’s song be played in the new upcoming film? Everybody knows about the legal battle between Ray Parker Jr. vs. Huey Lewis which was why the song wasn’t used for “Ghostbusters 2”.

Paul Feig says, the main theme to “Ghostbusters” will be in the film somehow but he won’t say whether he will use the original or do a cover song version of it. He’s pretty sure he’s gonna use the song.

Paul Feig is pretty sure Ray Parker Jr’s Ghostbusters theme is going to be in the reboot

I think that they won’t play the whole song if they’ll use the original Ray Parker Jr. tune, they’ll probably play parts of it… either that or they’ll play the whole song at the end credits?

I would say that the original song should be used for sure. So hopefully they got authorized permission from Ray Parker Jr. and Huey Lewis. I would think they would have to.

Speaking of “Ghostbusters III” what are they gonna do with the theme song???

Since “Ghostbusters III” is finally moving forward, I wonder what Sony is planning to do with the theme song. Will they bring back the original Ray Parker Jr. song? I think they should.

Of course, it wouldn’t surprise me that Sony would give “Ghostbusters 3” that song another version. I remember in “Ghostbusters 2”, they had Run DMC do a remix version. Will they give the theme another version for “G III”???

I wouldn’t be surprised that since the 4 Ghostbusters will be all female, they’ll give the Ray Parker Jr. song a pop music version like have Lady Gaga or Rihanna sing a version. Give the version electric beats and sounds. They’ll make this version that’ll sound like the current pop music of today.

I do hope they keep the original theme, though. We’ll have to wait and see what they’re gonna do with the theme song.
