   Huey Lewis was approached to record the theme for Ghostbusters, but he turned them down. I guess the studio basically went “Screw you, Huey”, and got RPJ to do the same song, differently enough to not get sued.

   I guess the differently enough part didn’t work.

    They are literally my favorite band ever and yes they are still together thankfully. Their sports album ranked #2 behind michael jacksons thriller in 1984. They beat both prince and Bruce Springsteen on the album charts. Quite an accomplishment for a random bar band. Allmusic praises them, as do I, and all their other fans.

    Look at the copy rights for this song> I do believe it came out first in the early 80’s
    I remember hearing this on the radio before the movie Ghostbusters.

    So he was just mad he didn’t do it because he had another movie to do. Huey Lewis is so butthurt.

    Well apparently Huey & the news were asked to do the theme music to Ghostbusters but turned it down due to BTTF.

    The main riff to Ghostbusters is a pretty blatant rip off of this song so no wonder there was a settlement.

    @cameraguy38 that’s a quote worth quoting

    Little to no comparison. It ripped nothing really…..you can’t really compare them because there is a tiny resemblance. Huey just got his panties in a bunch.

    If you loved the 80’s, then you weren’t there. It was the decade when music turned shit, and things havent gotten any better since.
