The Real Ghostbusters was an American animated series that ran from 1986 to 1991, continuing the story of the 1984 Ghostbusters film with Peter, Ray, Egon and Winston chasing ghosts in New York. Short bumper cues like this one were written for commercial breaks and scene changes, giving the show its brisk Saturday morning pacing. Clips of the theme and bumpers later circulated online among cartoon fans, and the jingle is still reused today in fan edits, reaction videos and retro compilations because it instantly signals classic Ghostbusters nostalgia.
