Background
"Bustin" 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 final time "feel good" is sung, a sample of Gorillaz's "Feel Good Inc." is used in place of Parker's vocals.[5] "Bustin's" melody is additionally altered and often uses the lyric "yeah yeah yeah" to create a backing vocal hook.[6] "Bustin" was later included on Cicierega's third mashup album Mouth Moods,[7] and is downloadable for free on Cicierega's website.[8]
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.[9]
