Mine will ALWAYS be “Bobby Brown-On Our Own” This isn’t from either movie nor TRG… this is my favorite Ghostbusters song so far of all songs Ive ever heard from anyone.

“On Our Own” is at the top of my list and “Saving the Day” is my second favorite. I love the scenes where they are heading to the final battle in the Ecto and those songs make the scenes even better. ---

Gb1: Saving the day, because it’s epic! Ghostbusters, it’s the theme! GB2: One our own, extended version, great beat! Ghostbusters, its the theme! Spirit, spooky funk! ---

“Flip City,” I like how it references the theme of negativity run amok in the movie, it’s not just a rockin place filler. That “She used to want me,” part doesn’t really fit, but I guess you can’t have a pop song without making it about a girl and guy somehow, lol. Also “I Can Wait Forever.” In a weird way it reminds me of Peter and Dana’s relationship, the whole “I know it’s worth it all to spend my life alone, with you.” I honestly can’t really picture them ever really marrying and settling down. Their love feels more like the classic “They can never be together, but they will always be _together._” ---

I even had it [played at their wedding](http://www.ectozone.com/ff/gbforever.php) in a fan fic. But I admit, that’s an interesting thought with Venkman and Dana, too. ---

Ooo, nice, that’s a great point, I hadn’t put that together. I guess either way, it’s one thing I like about GB I and II, they did try to put a semi realistic face on adult relationships. They’re beautiful, but they’re complicated and don’t always have clear cut happy endings. ---

The theme remix from the C3 Picasso commercial by the Streetlife DJs, Hometown Hero. And Bustin’ by Neil Cicierga of course. ---

I personally love the track “Finish” from the [Elmer Bernstein](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/people/elmer-bernstein) score. Such a beautiful piece. It’s from the end of the movie when they’re rescuing Dana. ---

Since so many of them blend back and forth on which is actually my favorite, I’ll list my favorite from each.

I like all the songs from GB1 and 2 except for “Spirit” from GB2. Idk but that song often tends to annoy me. “SPIRIT SOME PEOPLE HEAR IT, PEOPLE FEAR IT, SPIRIT SOME PEOPLE JUST WONT GO NEAR IT” ---

I always thought Doug E. Fresh’s “Spirit” was really underrated. ---

Though not on the soundtrack, this song is referenced in universe. The article top right on the cover (Song of Shannon): ![image](http://www.theraffon.net/~spookcentral/media/gb1_mult_img_moviemag01_readable.jpg) Refers to this, from November 1983; (known as the first freestyle record in history): [![](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/2/0/203a31935b7261fa757849e5f2bbcd5a55002ac5.jpeg "Shannon - Let The Music Play (Official Music Video)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-0sUuGufmw) It has a very 1984 feel to it. Edit: Which in turn was remixed into this in 2009: [![](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/2/2/229bb0fd86f10bd23461e3381b60eb12ff308cc5.jpeg "Jordin Sparks - S.O.S.

Lot of cool iconic GB tracks for sure. But, c’mon people - I have to chime in with some ultimate 80’s pants off dance off. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s\_wXMcEMlw0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_wXMcEMlw0) “Charge you up” [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxFogrkoGFQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxFogrkoGFQ) “[The Boogieman](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/characters/the-boogieman)” Spike the Ecto Cooler, and wheeze the juice.
