In 1985, singer Huey Lewis sued Parker for allegedly copying the melody from "I Want a New Drug" for the "Ghostbusters" theme. They settled out of court.
Parker played himself in episodes of "Gimme a Break" and "21 Jump Street."

The only thing he ever did was steal the music from "I want a New Drug" from Huey Lewis. He used the music to write Ghost Busters. No talent thief.....
I never even thought that song sounded like I Want a nEW dRUG, BUT THE COURTS OBVIOUSLY DID.
Ha-ha, the poor birdie fell into a trap, but this check is the check for everybody. Poor birdie got used to trust people and looking into eyes to define who of that costs. Than higher you fly up, that painfully you fall down... Somebody regrets the birdie, but others laugh at it - no happy end. Let it be... Let the Free Bird sing...the poor birdie will better keep silent...
wow, i used to have the biggest crush on Ray Parker. He was such a cutie back in the day. now...not so much :(
Honestly, I am glad he took "I want a new drugs" rhythm, the song sucked anyways, Ghostbusters was hell a better. He changed it up a bit, people who think otherwise are retarded. Ray is totally the awesomness.
Ray Parker was one of the most successful music session guitarist in the world, during the 70s and 80s. He had his own studio at home, and would take the masters home to his studio to do part. Before Ghostbusters, he had several hits on the dance club scene.
ray parkerjr. and his group "radio" had lots of disco and funk hits before ghostbusters.including 'a woman needs love' and 'for those who like to groove'.i still have his records.ghostbusters was actually his worst song but he crossed over cause it was rock and the movie was huge.the ladies loved him.he was a hearthrob.do your research before you comment!
Britney Spears might miss a lot more 'X Factor' auditions ... because she can! Simon Cowell gave Brit damn near free reign in order to sign the pop star to that $15 million deal -- but is it backfiring? We'll tell you what peeps on the set are saying.Plus, Chris Jericho's…
