"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",[1] heavily relying on the lyric "bustin' makes me feel good" and repeatedly editing it into various
sexual innuendos and references to sleeping.[2][3][4] The song's melody is additionally altered and often uses the lyric "yeah yeah yeah yeah" to create a backing vocal hook.[5] The song became a
viralmeme.[6]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".[7] "Bustin" was later included on Cicierega's third
mashup album Mouth Moods,[8] and is downloadable for free on Cicierega's website.[9]
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.[10]
