Great dance remix, jr. Thanks for sharing. Now I need to find the mp3 tune to download (not from Apple iTunes, bad biz experience).

I must be missing something as well... Where is the mention of the OP's Title in that link? All I saw was a story and video about the Ghostbusters/Gangnam Mash-up.

I think it was just a reference. Just like the My Sweet Lord vs He's So Shy, the song Ghostbusters matches up pretty close to Gangnam Style to be considered a copywrite violation - however since Ghostbusters was almost a direct rip off from I Want A New Drug from Huey Lewis, not sure who would be the pursuer (if at all).

The op’s title heading “My Sweet Lord vs He's So Shy all over again?” falls under legalities.

George Harrison vs. The Chiffons - GH allegedly infringed on the copyright song, He’s So Fine. Harrison claimed that he did not knowingly copy the melody of their song; the Chiffons claiming the melody of both songs were very similar. It was an out of court settlement if I’m not mistaken.(I'm a Beatles trivia freak, solid fan!) :)

From op’s thread title he foresees a similar case brewing, thus in the legalities category. :)

You are indeed correct, Mr. H. "He's So Shy" was by the Pointer Sisters.
