Intergalactic Ghostbusters

Beastie Boys - Intergalactic But It's Ghostbusters by Ray Parker Jr. From William Maranci, just in time for Halloween

(He acknowledges he's not the first to put these two together). A few others:

Bohemian WAPsody
Tool - Stinkfist But It's We Are Never Getting Back Together By Taylor Swift

This is like peanut butter and chocolate. Two great tastes that taste great together.

This channel is pure chaos and I'm totally here for it.

My favorite is Oasis - Wonderwall but Liam Keeps Singing the Wrong Song, though I laughed pretty hard at Freddy Mercury Rides a Roller Coaster.

Oh man- Gnarls Barkley x Tame Impala is honestly my new jam.

As amazing as this mashup is, William Maranci has also created the most cursed mashup of all time.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"

I love the comment "This is what happens when you cross the streams."

I used to be really into this sort of mash-up and this one is really good.

So good! Close contender for my favourite Ghostbusters rework after Bustin'. Maybe I can get an all Ghostbusters playlist together...

Huey Lewis's lawyer has asked that we refer to this as a mashup of "Intergalactic" and "I Want a New Drug."

Be sure to stick around for the end. The mashup itself it great, but that outro really shines. It reminds me of Ice Ice Bacon

Maranci's "Queezer" Rhapsody is also a treasure. It's a slow burn but stay with it; listen for the first "whatzzamattah" and you'll be handsomely rewarded.

As someone who also likes his sugar with coffee and cream, I approve of this mashup.

These are all a blast and mashup craft continues to delight. Unrelated but important: a link above led me to When a Costumed Person Destroys The Drums At Children’s Music Concert which I respectfully ask you to watch.

This is what the world needs now. Thank you.

This has lapped "The Ghost That Feeds" for best Ghostbusters mashup. (Bustin' is a remix so separate category, and also is undefeatable in any category including "sound created by humans")

Popped in to say that it is no Bustin (which, FatherDagon is so so right, is by far the best sound ever created by humans), but it is really fun!

DirtyOldTown:: Huey Lewis's lawyer has asked that we refer to this as a mashup of "Intergalactic" and "I Want a New Drug."

Robin Scott, aka M, would take issue with that, but he doesn't seem to care.

At some point Ghostbusters got the alt-rock mashup treatment in Ghostflecktor. And KNASbusters works, although is sort of pushing it. And at some point it's just 80's nostalgia.

It really is a weirdly popular song for mashups.

Thunder Busters triggered my obsession with mashups years ago.

Earlier this week I learned of the weird sublimity of GhostFlektor.

I'm also embarrassingly fond of Ghost Wobble.

I believe this was the original but there's like a whole genre of these things. So Many.

GuyZero, I had no idea this was a thing and I am delighted by it. I've gone down such a rabbithole now.

Milkshake Busters is still my favorite, but this is a close second.

Really enjoyed this, thanks. Plus the up next was “I'm Not Going To Waste My Shot” but it's “Lose Yourself.” [Explicit Lyrics] So, y'know, bonus.

I am shocked by the lack of commentary on this section (deep link to 3:15). Are y'all not watching these to the end?

Upon closer reading of the comments, I see you subocoyne
