Music legend Bruce Springsteen surprised fans at his Halloween concert in Montreal with an unexpected cover of the iconic 'Ghostbusters' theme song.
The unique performance at the Bell Centre saw the singer, supported by his E Street Band, kick off the show with a rendition of Ray Parker Jr.'s hit, originally written for the classic 1984 supernatural comedy. The performance, captured by a fan on their phone, quickly went viral after being uploaded to YouTube.
Fans of both Bruce Springsteen and 'Ghostbusters' are sure to love this rare crossover moment, which you can watch in the video below.
Bruce Springsteen, often dubbed "The Boss," has been a huge figure in rock music for over five decades. Known for hits like 'Born to Run' and 'Dancing In The Dark,' his music often explores working-class life, American identity, and the struggles of the everyday person. He's currently on the North American leg of a worldwide tour, which brings him to the UK in June 2025.
There aren't many better ways to kick off a Halloween gig than with the 'Ghostbusters' theme, which became an instant hit in the 1980s thanks to its catchy tune and ties to the paranormal-themed comedy of the same name, and giving us the unforgettable hook, "Who ya gonna call? Ghostbusters!"
The timing of Springsteen's homage couldn't have been better. As Halloween approached, 'Ghostbusters' shot to the top of Spotify's most-streamed songs list, resonating with fans as a nostalgic seasonal anthem. It beat out other spooky favourites like Bobby Pickett's 'Monster Mash' and Michael Jackson's 'Thriller,' proving that the 'Ghostbusters' theme still holds a special place in fans' hearts 40 years after its release.
