Ghost Ride It by Mistah FAB



"Ghost Ride It" by Mistah FAB is definitely one of the more unique videos I have ever seen before. It is a rap/hip-hop song that is a spin off of the forever popular "Ghost Busters" theme song. The main idea of the video is for Mistah FAB to explain to white people on how to, as it says in the lyrics, "Let me give you a 101 on how to ghost ride". For those of you who do not know what the term "ghost ride your whip" means, I will explain. Your "whip" is referring to one's car and "ghost riding" is referring to when the driver puts the car in drive and lets it slowly roll down the street. As this is occurring the driver and the passengers get out of the moving vehicle and begin to dance along side and/or on top of the car. Now the car is moving down the street with no one behind the wheel and that is why it is called "ghost riding", because it is insinuating that a ghost is driving the car. One of reasons I like this video is because it is pretty funny and entertaining. There is one part of the video where Mistah FAB is talking in front of a group of people, which I think are supposed to be the "ghost riding" class, and some dorky white guy with glasses, a bow tie, and suspenders stands up and asks Mistah FAB "What's ghost riding?" in a really funny and nerdy voice. Something else I thought was pretty sweet about the video was when there were a bunch of people who were riding in a awesome and customized yellow bus. It is definitely the only bus I have and most likely will ever see with rims and hydraulics on it. Overall the song is quite catchy and the video is entertaining.

The whole fact that someone made a song and video based off of "Ghost Busters" is absolutely hilarious. My whole family and I used to watch "Ghost Busters" and it sure brings back lots of memories. They even use a car just like the one in Ghost Busters. The video is entertaining in a way because it is so ridiculous to me, it's actually funny! I wonder who first came up with the idea to ghost ride, and also what happens if the people can't keep up with the car? The whole Ghost Buster theme fits well with the lyrics of the song.
