This Beastie Boys-Ghostbusters Mashup Is Simply Brilliant

Behind every great movie is just-as-great music. Epic music. Music that will stay with us maybe even longer than every single detail of the movie. And when it comes to recognizable movie music, the Ghostbusters theme is right up there.

Every child who grew up idolizing the four amigos in the 80s would also remember humming, singing, or whatever it is you call what you do with the theme.

Liked that, didn’t you?

You might also have enjoyed the music of the Beastie Boys as a teen. Or not. Their talent and appeal are highly debated for sure.

However, what cannot be denied is the stickiness of their music. Especially Intergalactic. Not sure what we’re on about? Have a quick listen.

Like it or not, you probably have had this an earworm at some point of your life.

So what do you get when you put the Beastie Boys and the Ghostbusters theme together?

A pretty cool mashup, if we say so ourselves. William Maranci, who declares that he is required by law to make one Halloween mashup every year has released this year’s treat on his YouTube channel.

For the electric energy that will get you – at the very least – nodding your head to the music and the brilliant editing, we give this five stars. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself dancing like you did in the 80s.

Judge for yourself.
