when was the ghostbusters theme song written in this movie universe?


they sing it at the party at the beginning of the film. was the song written during the montage scene time period in the first film, which showed their initial success or do you think it was written after they defeated the marshmallow man?

When the first movie came out in its own universe.
I guess they made it since they saved the world. Music included.
I wonder if it also is a comedy...

reply

i would think it would have been serious or a documentary, but with that song i guess it was at least a fun movie

reply

I think it is some bloated Michael Bay real life action like Pearl harbour.
But yeah that fun song would be out of place.
Unless it was orchestrated in the film, they just made it pop to sing it to the kids.
Would be interesting to hear a more epic version of it.

a bloated michael bay version might be like dan aykroyd's supposed original script

Yeah, with the other dimension setting and the many ghostbusting teams. Sounds so unnecessary.
I wonder why did he ever go that direction.
