The Bus Boys ‘Cleaning Up The Town’ Music Video
Monday, October 20th, 2008I just found a gem on YouTube. The 1984 music video for the Bus Boys’ song “Cleaning Up The Town”, which appeared on the Ghostbusters soundtrack and scored the iconic first bust scene in the original film.
The video features a cameo by Calvert DeForest a.k.a Larry “Bud” Melman, as well as live sequences from The Bus Boys accompanied by clips of the film.
When I interviewed the Bus Boys 8 years ago, lead singer Brian O’Neal confirmed the existance of the video, which (to my knowledge) has never been aired before, but they did not have a copy in their possession. That said, they were kind enough to send me a ton of great footage, including this live swing performance of the Bus Boys’ two most famous songs: “Cleaning Up The Town” (Ghostbusters) and “The Boys Are Back In Town” (48 Hours).
