The original movie came out in 1984 was directed and produced by Ivan Reitman and written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis.
Today Jun 23, 2016 the theme song for the reboot has been released.Posted on the Fall Out Boy Youtube Vevo accompanied by Missy Elliot, also being called "I'm not afriad".
They have captured the interersting aspects of the original song but gave it a faster beat, gave it more of a rock feel. They have left the lyrics of the verse the same but changed the chorus. Instead of saying I ain't afraid of no ghosts, they now say I'm not afraid. Then in the middle of the songs Miss Elliot joins with a rap verse. When comparing to the original there is more techno additives then in the reboot.
Both are great on there own and are fitting to the demographics and age for when they were made. In the 70's and 80's synth music was big, so the Ghostbusters original song is considered dance-pop,with a completely synth intro, according to Billboard. It was released in 1984 and in Canada reached number 1 on the top 100 RPM list.
When you look at the lyrics and compare them there is not much difference. But there will still be die hard nostalgic fans that will hate it. Instead of listening to the song for what it is and when it was made for. Here is a comparison of the lyrics:
This has been a moment from my Harte. :D
