Just another one of the classic 80s films I missed due to living in the middle of nowhere with parents who didn&#8217;t &#8220;believe&#8221; in paying for cable television and treated the MPAA ratings like an 11th Commandment. I was thirty before I finally saw the original 1984 <em>Ghostbusters<\/em>, and by then everyone in my fifth grade class had moved on. Sigh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But I had an AM-FM radio, and Des Moines commercial Top 40 stations, so at least I got to hear Bobby Brown&#8217;s theme song over and over and over and over in 1989. These days it pops up a lot in the 80s internet radio, which is possibly how it got stuck in my head for five days straight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bobby Brown - On Our Own (Ghostbusters 2 Soundtrack)\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e2sLeruRZio?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The movie popped up on German Netflix about a month ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s&#8230;really quotable, and I&#8217;m a little surprised I didn&#8217;t hear more quotes from it in classrooms. I was also surprised to learn it&#8217;s a Christmas-New Year&#8217;s movie.  Finally, I was surprised that watching the film did not make the Ohrwurm go away.
