I start not with the obvious, but the lesser known.

From Ghostbusters 2, here is the legendary Doug E Fresh and his Get Fresh Crew...awkwardly regurgitating the plot of Ghostbusters 2

I hate to derail the thread so soon but when awkward plot-regurgitating songs and MC Hammer are evoked within a handful of posts, my mind will naturally be drawn to the Reese's-esque moment of perfection when those two great tastes came together

I still get the Hammerman 'took out his magical shoes' bit stuck in my head for a few days most years completely out of the blue, such an odd tune to have as a brainworm.

Shadow - Theme to "New Year's Evil"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jx9biPN6uRE

Inapt Authority (morrisp), Wednesday, 11 December 2019 22:46 (five years ago)

King is a huge Ramones fan and invited the band to his Bangor, Maine home as they played in New England. During the visit, he handed Dee Dee Ramone a copy of his Pet Sematary novel, and the bassist retreated to the basement. One hour later, Dee Dee returned with the lyrics to "Pet Sematary". Shortly afterwards, drummer Marky Ramone said that Dee Dee's attitude that day showed that he could achieve his plans to leave the band and attempt a career at hip hop music. He likened Dee Dee to King, saying that both wrote things people could relate to because they "penetrated to the curiosity, fears, and insecurities carried around with them and couldn't put into words."[3]

Busta Rhymes - On Your Marks, Get Set, Ready, Go (from The Rugrats Movie)

my major contribution to the 90s rap movie theme song thread, a truly strange Busta album cut about fire-spitting Reptar toys being dangerous for kids, or something.

Holy shit @ that Dee Dee story. So then did he call himself Dee Dee King in honor of ol' Steve?!

Love this thread idea. Kind of want to host a dance party with only these songs on the playlist.

FWIW the Ghostbusters II soundtrack is chock full of these. This is the one that stuck out in my memory:

How do we feel about tie-in songs where the attendant movie's title was (presumably) clumsily shoehorned into the lyrics/title at the eleventh hour (a la 'Man in Motion' and 'Against All Odds')?
