Who ya gonna call? Trump-busters! (a satirical remix)

NOTE: When ICE tactics start sounding like a horror movie...cue the clarinet.

A mock-up of the logo from the "Ghostbusters" movie, with the top of the ghost, with Trump-like hair, extending through a red circle with a slash, signifying "NO"
The satirical song that follows critiques the Trump administration’s immigration tactics—not the agents themselves. And it is unbelievable that this is America. All incidents referenced are real.

The reality:

- Outside the Portland ICE facility, agents arrested a woman who was playing "Ghostbusters" on her clarinet.

- Witnesses say that ICE agents in Chicago's Lincoln Square neighborhood threw a man into an unmarked van with New Jersey plates.

- Near LA (and other places), ICE agents have patrolled near schools.

- In Massachusetts (and similar cases in many locales), a 13-year-old boy was detained without due process--with no explanation to him or his parents as to why and with no trial before transfer to a Virginia ICE detention facility.

The parody: 

Set to Ray Parker Jr.’s Ghostbusters, the very tune Oriana Korol was playing on her clarinet when ICE arrested her outside the Portland facility. Please feel free to sing along with the first couple minutes of this karaoke version:

Who Ya Gonna Call? Trump-busters!

Trump-busters!

If you wanna get

Folks playin’ clarinet,

Who ya gonna call?

Trump-busters!

If you wanna throw a man

In an unmarked van,

Who ya gonna call?

Trump-busters!

We ain’t afraid of no ICE!

We ain’t afraid of no ICE!

If you think it’s cool

To go raid a school,

Who ya gonna call?

Trump-busters!

If your master plan

Skips due process, man,

Who ya gonna call?

Trump-busters!

 

We ain’t afraid of no ICE!

We ain’t afraid of no ICE!

 

Who ya gonna call?

Trump-busters!
