Song from commercial Papa John's TV Spot, 'CMT Hot 20 Countdown Hosts: Ghostbusters'

"Ghostbusters" by Ray Parker Jr.

"Ghostbusters" is a song written and performed by American singer-songwriter Ray Parker Jr. It was released in 1984 as the theme song to the film of the same name, directed by Ivan Reitman. The song became very popular and reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States, as well as in several other countries around the world.

The lyrics of the song describe the fictional Ghostbusters team and their equipment, as well as their mission to catch ghosts. The song's catchy chorus, "Who ya gonna call? Ghostbusters!" became a cultural phenomenon and is still recognized today.

Ray Parker Jr. wrote the song in just a few days after being given a brief by the film's producers to create a catchy and memorable theme song. Parker Jr. was inspired by the film's concept and the idea of a group of people who catch ghosts for a living.

In addition to its success as a single, "Ghostbusters" was also included on the film's soundtrack album, which went on to become a commercial success. The song has since been covered and sampled by various artists, and has been featured in numerous films, television shows, and commercials.

Despite its popularity, Ray Parker Jr. has had a complicated relationship with the song and the franchise. In a 2022 interview, he expressed disappointment with how the song has been treated by the franchise's owners, and how he feels it has been "buried" since the release of the original film.
