Listen To 'Ghost' Cover The Ghostbusters Theme

This fan-made recording is truly something to behold.

October 19, 2018

The devil finds work for idle hands. And in this case, the King of Hell has gently nudged YouTuber Watt White into recording a cover version with a difference.

New York musician White – the self-described “undisputed Metal Paper Doll Puppet Music Video Champion Of The World” – has covered Ray Parker Jr.’s 1984 Ghostbusters theme in the style of Swedish clergy-core champs Ghost.

If that wasn’t enough, there’s also a nod to Bobby Brown’s Ghostbusters II single On Our Own around the halfway mark.

In the mood for further ethereal tomfoolery? Check out Ten Second Songs man Anthony Vincent’s take on some pop classics delivered through a Ghost-like filter.
