10 Hauntingly Weird Music Videos From The 1980s

3. Ghostbusters - Ray Parker, Jr.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fe93CLbHjxQ Who you gonna call? The title track from 1984's supernatural comedy classic Ghostbusters is essential in any weird music video countdown. Ray Parker, Jr. knocked Prince's When Doves Cry off the top of the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and it stayed there for two weeks. Ghostbusters was kept off number one spot in the UK Singles Chart by I Just Called to Say I Love You by Stevie Wonder, however. That same song also beat it to an Academy Award for Best Original Song. Floating books and hideous neon designs are only the tip of the iceberg here. The weirdest thing about this video is when Ray Parker, Jr. himself pops out from under the bed of the unwitting girl. Ghost or no ghost, you would be locked up for that sort of thing nowadays! The video also features cameos from celebrities of the era including Carly Simon, Danny DeVito, Chevy Chase, Irene Cara and John Candy.
