- [Electronic/Synth Pop/Pop/Pop Rock] Here is a special video for all the fans of the original 1984 "Ghostbusters" film. These are my personal extended film versions of the song "Magic" aka "I Believe It's Magic" by Mick Smiley. This video contains two versions: 1) "Magic (Extended Film Version)" and 2) "Magic (Apartment Version)" where i changed the ending and inserted the Elmer Bernstein verse from the movie. The song was prominently featured in the scene where all the contained ghosts break free after Walter Peck and his cronies shut down the storage facility. Years ago when i first saw this movie, i loved this scene as it just fit with the visuals that director Ivan Reitman incorporated. It wasn't long before i purchased the CD of the "Ghostbusters (Original Soundtrack Album)" that i couldn't wait to hear this song again. First of all, when I first heard it on the album, I thought there must have been a mistake. I hit play and a down tempo power ballad cued up, filled with "In The Air Tonight" Phil Collins-esque beats and lyrics like: "Strangers meet, strangers dream ...some call it love, I call it magic." And then all of a sudden with no buildup whatsoever, it made a hard left turn into the chilling composition that all Ghostbusters fans know. Personally i have never seen any song do that and quite frankly i was disappointed as the second verse is clearly the superior part of the song. For years i (and presuming many fans) wanted to understand why it was so "different" from what you hear in the movie but unfortunately Mick disappeared from public whereabouts after this song was recorded. In 2016, he was finally found by a man named Abraham Riesman and he did an amazing interview with Smiley. Ill give a brief overview of the interview: "Smiley," as expected, is his middle name which was chosen long ago as his stage moniker in place of his surname, Cipolla. In his 30's, he had his own band and they would perform in various places around the LA area. Because of these efforts he eventually befriended star producer/songwriter Keith Forsey. To make a long story short he ended up recording demo tracks with Forsey (one of which was this song) and somehow it ended up on Ivan Reitman 's desk to be used in Ghostbusters. After Smiley did a small music video for the song (parts of which can be found online) he learned that he'd appear on the ghostbusters soundtrack, though he got no synopsis of the film or description of where his track would fit in. He only got to see the synthesis of footage and tune when he sat at a pre release screening for the cast and crew. He states that he was puzzled because it felt like it was purposely scored for the film and his suspicion is also matched with mine. The film version is definitely heavily edited with small ambient synth cues conducted by Elmer Bernstein perking up in every scene where we get a glimpse of Sigourney Weaver (Dana Barrett / Zuul). Further more, Smiley went on to write: "Kiss Me Deadly," which Lita Ford took to no. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1988 and then he vanished until 2016. Today, he has his own successful DJ company titled "Better Music Services" and considers the second verse of "Magic" his favorite. One of his wishes is to have a full length version of the second verse of the song that was featured in the movie ...this is where Anthony's Channel comes in, lol this is for you Mick (and to all Ghostbusters fans). This OST song was released under Arista Records '84.
Here is a link to the scene in "Ghostbusters" when the song plays in the movie: • Ghostbusters (1984) / ... as well as a link to the 2016 follow up interview: / how-mick-smiley-made-t...

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.
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.
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.
This song used to creep me out as a little kid. Now I can't get enough of it.
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.
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.
this sound has the face of the 80's, dark, gothic
“Its a sign alright…Going out of business!”
"Columbia building. I'm in a hurry, so let's not dawdle."
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. 🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤔👍👍
Even after 36 years, I still love this track. When it Mick starts saying please, the anticipation builds!
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."
When I was little, the song scared the heck out of me when all the ghosts starting coming out, now I bloody love it!
Ghostbusters (1984) - This song and the scene is so haunting and beautiful! Great work, Anthony!
Just timeless !!!
Never knew i needed somthing so much till it was given me. Thank you.
Underrated song
If anybody ever knew how hard it is to make music like this they’d appreciate it alot more i think
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!
❤❤❤ THE SPECIAL EFFECTS ARE AMAZING ONE OF THE BEST SCFI MOVIES EVER MADE
