Ghostbusters 2 - Original Soundtrack

My brother and I were insanely into Ghostbusters when we were little kids; we had all the toys, watched all the cartoons, drank the Ecto Cooler Hi-C...you name it. I was in a mall with my family (don't recall where) shortly before the sequel was released and saw a cassette tape version of the soundtrack in a music store. I begged mom if she'd get it for me (no allowance for me at that point in my life), and she relented.

The names on this record are mad 80s, yo: Run DMC, Doug E. Fresh, Bobby Brown and Oingo Boingo, among others. I listened to it way too much, as one of the songs talked about (surprise!) ghosts in a graveyard or something, and I woke up with a nightmare about it one night. I had to tell my dad that I had a nightmare about a song; he was pissed.

Yes, when I was a little kid, I was a total pussy.
