Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If there's something strange in you neighborhood,
Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!
If there's something weird and it don't look good,
Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!
I ain't afraid of no ghost.
I ain't afraid of no ghost.
If you're seeing things running through your head,
Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!
An invisible man sleeping in your bed,
Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!
I ain't afraid of no ghost.
I ain't afraid of no ghost.
Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!
If you're all alone, pick up the phone and call
Ghostbusters is a song by Booty Busters that deals with the theme of ghostbusting. The lyrics are based on supernatural occurrences and strange incidents in the neighborhood. The song's chorus is repeated several times throughout the song, with variations in verses. The lyrics emphasize the need for immediate action when confronted with ghostly apparitions.
The opening line of the song, "If there's something strange in your neighborhood" is a reference to a typical horror movie plot where an ordinary neighborhood is faced with strange or inexplicable phenomena. The line "Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!" is a call to action to call a professional exorcist to deal with the situation. The second verse continues with more bizarre incidents such as "an invisible man sleeping in your bed" and repeats the chorus again.
The song's overall message is that ghosts may be scary, but with the right help, they can be overcome. The line "I ain't afraid of no ghost" reinforces the idea that fear only makes a situation worse and that facing the situation head-on is the best solution.
