- Source: Bustin (song)
"Bustin" is a song by American musician and comedian Neil Cicierega. It was released on March 31, 2015, as the lead single for his third mashup album Mouth Moods.
Background and reception
The song remixes Ray Parker Jr.'s "Ghostbusters", heavily relying on the lyric "bustin' makes me feel good" and repeatedly editing it into various sexual innuendos and references to sleeping. The song's melody is additionally altered and often uses the lyric "yeah yeah yeah yeah" to create a backing vocal hook. The song became a viral meme. OC Weekly praised it among others, describing it as "absolutely brilliant how an entirely new track can be created from the original elements while still containing its fun vibe". "Bustin" was later included on Cicierega's third mashup album Mouth Moods, and is downloadable for free on Cicierega's website.
Music video
Alongside the single's release on SoundCloud, a music video heavily editing footage of several performances of "Ghostbusters" and the song's accompanying movie was released on March 31, 2015.
