— The Ghostbusters

The Ghostbusters battled the Mythbusters and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man in Ghostbusters vs Mythbusters. They are a team consisting of Peter Venkman, Egon Spengler, and Ray Stantz, who were later joined by Winston Zeddemore; they were portrayed by Chris Gorbos, Zach Sherwin, Mark Douglas, and Walter Downing, respectively.

Information on the rappers

The Ghostbusters are a fictional team founded by three misfit parapsychologists, Dr. Peter Venkman, Dr. Ray Stantz, and Dr. Egon Spengler, who investigate and capture ghosts for a living.

Originating from the 1984 movie Ghostbusters, the group establishes a paranormal extermination/investigations service known as "Ghostbusters" after losing their jobs at Columbia University and develops high-tech equipment capable of capturing ghosts. Along the way, they hire a fourth member, Winston Zeddemore, to assist them.

The Ghostbusters franchise has sparked the creation of a two sequels to the first movie, Ghostbusters II and Ghostbusters: Afterlife, a remake of the original featuring an all female cast (also named Ghostbusters), as well as three animated television series based on it: The Real Ghostbusters, Slimer!, and Extreme Ghostbusters. The continuity of these cartoons purports to be the "real" version of the group and their universe, wherein the original films we know exist in–universe as Hollywood dramatizations.

Verse 1:

Are you tired of two geeks in mustaches

Who can manage to be boring with explosions and crashes?

If you, or the Lorax, wanna bust like we do,

Give us a call. We're ready to defeat you!

Ghostbusters, flow crushers, get the job done!

Spitting out the lyrics like, "We got one!"

Get the people moving like the Statue of Liberty!

Try to beat us in a battle? Man, you gotta be kidding me!

The delivery of Stantz stands straight like my main man's Slinky!

I collect spores. Tell him 'bout the Twinkie.

Like your show, it's all fluff and filler.

I'll kick your hiney, man. I'm a savage killer.

Verse 2:

That's enough from the walrus and dickless the clown.

Let's show these myth bitches how we do it downtown!

Grab your stick, hold'n, heat 'em up, smoking!

High speed shows your ass get beat in slow motion!

We roast show hosts when our flows cross streams!

Pumping out blockbusters, while you work behind the scenes!

It's a rap test, dummy, and you're both getting crashed!

We came, we saw, we kicked your ass!

Scrapped lyrics

That's enough from walrus and dickless the clown.


Grab your stick, hold'n, light 'em up, smoking!
