Summary: A young
woman comes home to her dark house that on the inside was full of neon lit
stuff. (That was cool in the 1980s) Ray
Parker Jr shows up as a ghost scaring her.
She runs around the house in her pajamas as Parker keeps scaring
her. The video is mostly a preview for
the movie and scenes from the film are frequently cut in. There are also a bunch of celebrity cameos
from the likes of Chevy Chase and John Candy. The video ends with Parker and the Ghostbusters
doing the dance that was similar to the dance done during the end credits of The Real
Ghostbusters.

My Take: I love
the song although I remember it mostly as the opening theme in the
cartoon. I didn’t see the video until a
few years ago. It is what it is. Music videos were still a new thing and it’s
more of a movie preview anyway.
Nevertheless it is widely available on the Internet if you want to see
it.
As kid
the part where the music starts to go fast around the time the line “I ain't
afraid a no ghost” is said, I always thought that was supposed to represent the
sirens on the Ecto-1. Anyway if you wantto watch the video it’s a fun few minutes.
