Hey guys! Just an FYI that the purpose of this video was to extend the second verse of "Magic" found on the "Ghostbusters" 1984 original soundtrack to a full 3-4 min version (something that Mick actually wished for in his interview). I will definitely try my best to give you guys the "Magic" Elmer Bernstein version from the film though its nearly impossible to extract / remove all SFX's. When I get my hands on it i will gladly post it but overall the purpose of this video was to give you guys a full radio edit of the second verse of the song. The apartment version is just a fun separate extension i wanted to include for the visuals, lol.
Anthony's Channel hi the song is very good. It's a pity that no one appreciated it. And I want to know where you found this drawing of the building where the video was .
No song has ever made impending doom sound or look sexier than Mick Smiley's Magic & Ghostbusters. The juxtaposition itself is "Magic" as only the 80s could do. Thank you, Mick & the creative forces behind that first film 🙏🏾 ICONIC.
It’s also weird to see how sweet half of the actual song is. There’s this almost eerily sweet half and then there’s the other half, which played in this scene of Ghostbusters. There’s this weird emotional power and then it cuts halfway through the song to this section.
I'm a Xennial (born in 82) - and I'm going through this phase where I'm revisiting music from the 80's and being completely blown away. The synth vibes from that era are totally my style and I can't get enough.
Interesting how the normal version of this song starts out like a cool normal love song then changes into something you would hear during the apocalypse.
Hey everyone! Man, I get a viseral reaction when this part of the movie comes, and the song plays. It always felt scary, in an unpredictable way. It was also SUPER sexy. I really don't think any other song would have matched the emotions we all get with this song. It's absolutely perfect, and this movie is more culturally impacting than 83' congress. I've seen Ghostbusters probably over 100 times, and I still get excited at the very beginning when it shows that statue, and that dramatic music outside Dana Barrets apartment.
Giant flames come out of the twin towers as the ghosts spew forth... right at the start of this sensual song. I thought it was Bowie for a long time. The orginal song and video resemble this very little.
I remember this song from the movie when I was a kid, I'm glad someone else remembered it also. I remember I didn't like Sigourney Weaver, didn't think she was hot in the movie. Now I'm 43 and looking back I have to say "WoW was I wrong".
🌭🌭🌭👻 The "magic" was this dark synth track and the fact they had the team fresh off poltergeist doing the effects. It was a dark horror comedy. This combo packed the uniqueness that left an indelible mark on culture. It's what made it a classic. So listen up hollywood. Stick to the formula. Don't tone it back, ramp it up.
loving this. i had dubbed the movie version onto a cassette back in the day; only recently grabbed one or two complete versions of the song. also want to say that i am comforted by many of the comments below echoing the sinister, mysterious and compelling allure of the song. i thought i was the only one that got chills from the first time sitting in the theatre. anyway, thanks for sharing!
Remember Mick Smiley in an interview I once read saying that when he saw a preview of the film, he felt that the use of it was very inspired as it made him feel he had written the song especially for what was happening on screen. He wasn't half wrong - a great atmospheric song that was heard by the director and used in an ingenious way.
The thing with music that makes me adore it so much more. Is understanding what it takes to make certain songs/sounds. If you ever get to see the featurette of the dark knight. Watch it. The sound of the joker like when he created chaos is literally the sound of the thing going across the top of the violin. Where they strum it. That's literally the sound it is. Idk how Christopher Nolan even thought of that. But it's beautiful.
Me too, turned 50 in November I was too young to see the movie when it came out I had no one to take me it was pg13, I didn't see the movie till 1986 when it came out on VHS at a friends house
This song always had a ethereal-sexual feel to it. Very dream-like and a great song to put on the stereo when my g)f and I would go "parking" back in high school. 😁
This track reminds me a lot of ‘ Suicide’s ‘ second album. I remember watching G.B at cinema on release , and this was the stand out score track for me. I was mesmerised.
This sound is progressive and moving forward futuristic is what I thought in 84. Rap was just invented about 5yrs before that and it was an age of discovery for me.
100% dope AF spine-tingling 80's ambient drone dance music/rap mix that's exponentially better than the original MTV version & by far the most emotionally intense GB sequence. Thanks Mrs. Ramis, Ackroyd, Murray, Reitman, Smiley and perspicacious host Anthony's Channel for this enchanting slice of iconic GB soundtrack magic.
I wonder if Mick Smiley had any idea when he wrote it that his "love ballad" type song would be used in the explosion scene in a sci-fi film (and help to make that scene even more awesome/scary)? I also wonder, is the apartment building actually based on a real building or totally fictional? That edgy, gothic art deco style was very popular in buildings of the 1920s and 30s.
There are some great videos on here about the half fictional building (floors were added, architecture was changed) and I think they said obsessed fans still pay tons to live at the actual address
I swear I saw the base of the building last time I was in New York. It was kind of an obsession that day through Central Park exactly what building to search the skyline for.
This remixed track, which in the end is only deprived of the initial melodic part of the original version, is absolutely fantastic, beautiful! It manages to relax and excite me at the same time 🤟 I've been looking for it for decades!! It takes me back to when I was a kid and in my village there was still the cinema. Unfortunately now there is a supermarket in its place 😢🤮
I agree and really like the 2nd half of the song, such a great atmospheric scene in a classic movie. Would love him to release a full version of the 2nd half. Very interesting thanks very much.
Seeing the similar effects in the new Afterlife trailer it looks like we might get a similar looking scene to this, I just hope they play this song in there.
I always felt the first part of the song was an incongruous addition cooked up for the soundtrack. It's almost like they're two different songs - to me this part is the gem, and the other bit is disposable. But I know some people like both.
I never understood the concept of the original song by Mick Smiley. It is as if it is completely bipolar and Mick is going through an identity crisis. First half of the original song is very typical of the era, but the second half is genius, was way ahead of it's time, and should have been a song all in itself. Heck, an entire album should have been based around the feel of the second half of Magic!
They scorned me of any love They scorned me of every life then this spiritgirl appeared 3 times from the otherside she said - 'appease...me...bleed - want me to let you go?' She believes its Magick I believe its Tragick Imagine Imagine She took my hand and talked at me she said 'I'll turn you tricks you just wont believe' In the hour bar none No Earthly Love Revenge is what you've got me for Tease...sleaze...puhlease... I believe its Magick She believes its Targick We believe its Magick...Tragic Imagine...Imagine...
For me I think it was the monster in the refrigerator and the scene when Dana gets dragged into her kitchen by the monster that was most scary for me as a kid
This is the first time I heard of this song and artist. I was wondering what it was on that scene when they shut down the grid and release all those ghosts and they started flying around... I love this song... thanks for the video
Walter Peck: HOLD IT!! I want this man arrested! Captain these men are in criminal violation of the Environmental Protection Act! And this explosion is a direct result of it!!! Egon Spengler: YOUR MOTHER!!!
Wish Mick would've made the entire song sound like the ending as the first half of the song sucked and sounds nothing like this part. Had he done so he would've had a decent summer hit on his hands as it has Miami Vice tones to it.
Captain I want these man arrested they are in criminal violation of the enivermental protection act and this explosion is direct violation of that the great Harold Ramis your mother
I once asked one of my ex-girlfriends if she ever wanted to do it 4 feet above the covers and she said that would be extremely cool if she ever managed to. She asked if I ever wanted to do it 4ft above the covers and I said yes
The success of ghostbusters was for all the gags and amusing parts, but one the most of epics scenes were right when Dana floating on the bed and all the ghosts were escaped from containment system so immediately Dana Barret open the eyes, completely possessed and makes explode the windows. 🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤔👍👍
In this extended edition is always usual the turn of struments as syntethizator, little drums and others, but it is the original sound that recall the original version of free ghosts. At any way is too amusing the scene free ghosts on the streets who scary all the people and they make every mess. 👻👻👻👻👻👻😱😱😱😱😱👀👀👀👀🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬👍👍👍👍

Do you have the link up for it yet?
I love this , thank you for posting
So Dope! I love this song 🎶
No song has ever made impending doom sound or look sexier than Mick Smiley's Magic & Ghostbusters. The juxtaposition itself is "Magic" as only the 80s could do. Thank you, Mick & the creative forces behind that first film 🙏🏾 ICONIC.
A power only he and Tim curry possess.
Good lord man! That’s the greatest comment ever!
Cannot ever be replicated. The 80’s had a magic of their own ❤
It’s also weird to see how sweet half of the actual song is. There’s this almost eerily sweet half and then there’s the other half, which played in this scene of Ghostbusters. There’s this weird emotional power and then it cuts halfway through the song to this section.
Agreed. This song along with Sigourney transforming 👻
This song used to creep me out as a little kid. Now I can't get enough of it.
Love it 😻
same but it still creeps me out. Unfortunately the franchise has lost its creepiness
this sound has the face of the 80's, dark, gothic
I'm a Xennial (born in 82) - and I'm going through this phase where I'm revisiting music from the 80's and being completely blown away. The synth vibes from that era are totally my style and I can't get enough.
i was born in 83. i always find myself coming back to 80's music.
I was born at the beginning of the 90s - doesn't stop me from also loving 80s music!!!! 😉
Born in 1985 this song is fire 🔥 can't get enough of this.
Like the way you said Xennial. I always say Borderline Gen Xer. Born in '81 and I actually remember when Ghostbusters was HUGE in '84. ❤
Interesting how the normal version of this song starts out like a cool normal love song then changes into something you would hear during the apocalypse.
If you were born and raised in the 80s this type of music is engrained in you
Me and my lady say "please, please, pleeeeease" when we're too hung over to do anything, thanks ghstbstrs x

You nailed the feeling... scary, unpredictable and sexy. I came here to revisit this song for the exact same reason; it always gave me goosebumps!!
I remember this song from the movie when I was a kid, I'm glad someone else remembered it also. I remember I didn't like Sigourney Weaver, didn't think she was hot in the movie. Now I'm 43 and looking back I have to say "WoW was I wrong".
Nah, she was a dog.
I bought The Ghostbusters soundtrack for only THIS song.
The best song of "Ghostbusters" movie
I like the opening part of the song but this part gives me chills
The conjure..
It’s magic
Ghostbusters movie is magic
I love this version. I felt it was so perfect for this scene too. It's like "chill out, have a drink and enjoy the end of the world."
RIP To Ivan Reitman for making a good movie this song is for him
Underrated song
This movie never gets old..Bill Murray ..it's miller time
🌭🌭🌭👻
The "magic" was this dark synth track and the fact they had the team fresh off poltergeist doing the effects. It was a dark horror comedy.

“Its a sign alright…Going out of business!”
loving this. i had dubbed the movie version onto a cassette back in the day; only recently grabbed one or two complete versions of the song. also want to say that i am comforted by many of the comments below echoing the sinister, mysterious and compelling allure of the song. i thought i was the only one that got chills from the first time sitting in the theatre. anyway, thanks for sharing!
When I was little, the song scared the heck out of me when all the ghosts starting coming out, now I bloody love it!
i remember the scene all teh ghosts making a beeline towards the the tower block

If anybody ever knew how hard it is to make music like this they’d appreciate it alot more i think

Even after 36 years, I still love this track. When it Mick starts saying please, the anticipation builds!
Ghostbusters (1984) - This song and the scene is so haunting and beautiful! Great work, Anthony!
I love this! I call it Dark Ghostbusters
Never knew i needed somthing so much till it was given me. Thank you.
Coolest track of the movie, omg it's nearly 40 years ago.... I feel old
Me too, turned 50 in November I was too young to see the movie when it came out I had no one to take me it was pg13, I didn't see the movie till 1986 when it came out on VHS at a friends house

When i go to new york city im going to play this song with my headphones..
i will put this to play on my living room forever
So smooth
If compare this to much of the toilet music nowadays...this is a milestone!
Just timeless !!!
This song fucking bumps. I can’t believe it hasn’t been used in songs nowadays
The original version is lame.
This track reminds me a lot of ‘ Suicide’s ‘ second album. I remember watching G.B at cinema on release , and this was the stand out score track for me. I was mesmerised.
Loved this since I was 10 ❤❤❤
This sound is progressive and moving forward futuristic is what I thought in 84. Rap was just invented about 5yrs before that and it was an age of discovery for me.
❤❤❤ THE SPECIAL EFFECTS ARE AMAZING ONE OF THE BEST SCFI MOVIES EVER MADE
original song is like a bipolar teen or some shit
gotta love how people on the Internet are like: oh i can fix that 😹
thank you btw 😔🙏
This is one of my favorite songs(the second part I mean)
100% dope AF spine-tingling 80's ambient drone dance music/rap mix that's exponentially better than the original MTV version & by far the most emotionally intense GB sequence.

Imagine doing it 4 feet above the covers with either Sigourney Weaver or Supergirl
Shit be thumpin

I swear I saw the base of the building last time I was in New York. It was kind of an obsession that day through Central Park exactly what building to search the skyline for.
As to the apartment, the building is real, but eight floors and the gozerian temple were added via matte painting.
This remixed track, which in the end is only deprived of the initial melodic part of the original version, is absolutely fantastic, beautiful!
It manages to relax and excite me at the same time 🤟
I've been looking for it for decades!!
It takes me back to when I was a kid and in my village there was still the cinema. Unfortunately now there is a supermarket in its place 😢🤮
Dat Sigourney Weaver❤❤❤ gorgeous af!!!
Big thumbs up to this song. Hmm, was anybody else creeped out by the cab driver while this scene played out? Still having nightmares bout it. Lol :)
Please I hope 550 central park west will be in Ghostbusters afterlife

Goes perfectly with the movie 👍

For me I think it was the monster in the refrigerator and the scene when Dana gets dragged into her kitchen by the monster that was most scary for me as a kid
Nothing was more scary then that 2016 remake... still have nightmares of watching it. Just thinking of it sends shivers up my spine.

3 x’s nice 👍
Year 2022 begins!
I wouldn't mind sleeping 4 feel above the covers with both Supergirl and Dana Barrett
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Anyone else think Mick sounds a lot like Lou Reed on the track? I actually thought it was him for a bit.
Let's show this prehistoric witch how we do things Downtown
Walter Peck: HOLD IT!! I want this man arrested! Captain these men are in criminal violation of the Environmental Protection Act! And this explosion is a direct result of it!!!
Egon Spengler: YOUR MOTHER!!!
🖤✨️
I am the key master
I WANT TO REMAKE UGLY BOY BY DI ANTWORD WITH THIS BEAT i BELEIEVE ITS MAGIC!
im trying to imagine how that would sound...
At any way, it's has been too emotioning the scene where Dana Barret make flowing up by supernatural powers all the front of windows. 😬😬😱
Wish Mick would've made the entire song sound like the ending as the first half of the song sucked and sounds nothing like this part. Had he done so he would've had a decent summer hit on his hands as it has Miami Vice tones to it.
The second part wouldn’t be as good as it is without the first half. Can’t have night without the day. Major minor.
This movie version is completely different than the video shower scene music, only his begging is similar.
Captain I want these man arrested they are in criminal violation of the enivermental protection act and this explosion is direct violation of that the great Harold Ramis your mother
Let's play this song while doing it with both Supergirl and Dana Barrett 4ft above the covers
