Fall Out Boy’s new, angst-ridden Ghostbusters theme is here

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
In Ray Parker Jr.’s Ghostbusters theme, the phrase “I ain’t afraid of no ghosts” is a confident, quippy aside. Not so in the newly released Fall Out Boy cover of the song off the soundtrack for the upcoming reboot, which subs in sprightly horns for thrashing guitars. Pete Wentz has turned “I ain’t afraid” into “I’m not afraid” and made the refrain a pop-punk rallying cry. What was once a sassy wink of a phrase now sounds like something that might have emanated from the bedroom of a moody teen in the early-to-mid ’00s. (Basically, it would have been perfect for the Spider-Man 2 soundtrack if it were about Spider-Man rather than Ghostbusters.)
