"On Our Own," Bobby Brown (8/5/89)
Ready for a run of killers and nearly-greats? Let's get it started with Bobby's inexplicably great soundtrack single, the "theme" from Ghostbusters II.

There's just even of that B-Brown sass to give it an edge, and just enough cushy synths to make it pop. And more orchestra hits than anyone needs. In a good way. A
