Tidbits Learned from The Soundtrack Show
Episode: Ghostbusters: the Music (Part II)
- Composer Elmer Bernstein wrote and scored orchestral music for much of the movie, only to see his contributions replaced with pop songs like "Ghostbusters" (Ray Parker Jr.) and "Savin' the Day" (Alessi) and "Magic" (Mick Smiley). The portion used from "Magic" comes from the middle of the song. [1] [2]
- The music played during the wide shot of Ray and Winston driving across the bridge is not a pop song but a composition by Elmer Bernstein.
