Story about this misheard lyric by: Dylan Baranski Ghostbusters has been one of my favorite movies for a long time now. However, when I first saw the movie, I actually thought that Ray Parker Jr. was singing "If there's somethin' strange, and it may be good..." I knew something wasn't right because this would've contrasted with the line, "If there's somethin' weird, and it don't look good..." because: 1. It would be unclear whether that "something" was good or not, and 2. If it "may be good", then why are the Ghostbusters busting it? 'Cause busting makes them feel good? That makes no sense at all! Somewhere down the line, I figured out the correct lyrics. |

Repetitive Lyrics:
"Ghostbusters"
The Repetitive Lyrics: Who you gonna call? (Ghostbusters!)
Louder! (Ghostbusters!) Who you gonna call? (Ghostbusters!) Who can you call? (Ghostbusters) Why They're Repetitive: Eventually these annoying lyrics fade out, but until then there is a girl with a high pitched voice yelling, 'Ghostbusters!', and I can't stand it!

Misrhymed Lyrics:
"The Other Woman"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: My life was fine
Til she blew my mind Why They're Misrhymed: The rhyming is underwhelming. I guess to be played on the radio he had to say 'mind.' Not that what she was really blowing would have rhymed either.

| "The Other Woman"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: Now I hate to have to cheat
But I feels better when I sneak Why They're Misrhymed: After a pathetic attempt at poetry, I wonder if Ray has any women at all.

Song Lawsuits:
"Ghostbusters"
The Lyrics: Ghostbusters!
Why: Shouted throughout the song, also the title, and of course written for the movie. Better examples for this section are when a song isn't written for a movie.
