Bill Murray looking high in the background made my night 😂

I think he had the same look on Lost in Translation lol 🤣🤣🤣

40 years later and Ray Parker, Jr. sounds EXACTLY the same!

I’m glad to see in his golden years, Bill has come back to the franchise and embraced it. ❤

[@KhanGarth]

Royalty checks. Also he’s probably happy the proton pack is being passed onto the next generation and he doesn’t have to do much other than the occasional promotion like this.

[@jissanhuq3792]

He’s also gotten some heat recently for his past behavior so I’m guessing he’s doing whatever he can

[@eugeneshadwell6596]

Not sure I'd say he has embraced it. Saw the new movie last night and I've rarely seen an actor 'phoning it in' as he did, he really looked like he was reading his lines of a Post It note on someone's forehead (whilst wondering how to spend his doubtlessly large payment) during his brief appearances...

[@TEDSHOTTHAT]

Yess he was a hard one thru the years ive heard. Like he wasn’t tryn to hear it

Bill Murray looking like that drunk Grandpa in the back😂 love it

[@surlypiratewench1969]

Awesome! I'm a music teacher and I arranged it for my 4th graders to play on Boomwhackers and I never get sick of hearing this song!

Let us know how it went 💖

[@lorrie2878]

​@@surlypiratewench1969because, RIGHT! Only 40 years ago, my kids's schools had music and art and we contributed some toilet paper rolls, tissue paper, rented instruments for cheap. And we spent some time paint murals on the walls...

[@guyute-kw5wx]

His voice is still spot on!

[@1craley878]

Easily one of the most iconic songs ever made for a movie, 40 years later and people who weren't born yet can still sing along.

This and Footloose!

My Daughter, 6 years old, has this Songs in her Favorites and almost every Day she comes across the Apartment and sings it.

1984, one of my favorite years, such a fun movie.

[@surlypiratewench1969]

Freshman in HS in ‘84. Being old enough now to appreciate how innocent we were, makes me kinda sad . I think of all the the places we had to go to for social interaction. Dollar movie theaters, roller rinks and the ARCADE! Kids today have none of that. They live in dangerous online spaces we can’t see. 😩 At least I got them to watch a lot of fantastic movies from our younger years. Damn I hate getting old😝. Have a great ☘️

[@codsworth9950]

​@@surlypiratewench1969 As someone born in 83, it’s crazy to think how much things have changed even since I was a kid. My generation may have just been that last cut off from a more digital world. AOL and dial up internet became big when I was a teenager, but it didn’t feel like our lives revolved around it like it does now. It definitely feels like it was the beginning of the end for childhood innocence in the online world. Getting old absolutely sucks.

[@surlypiratewench1969]

@@codsworth9950 ikr!!!! Kids don’t have “3rd spaces” anymore. They can’t even go to the mall anymore without having a parent with them. It’s like we turned our kids over to the internet. Take care and HAPPY ☘️ !

[@Lisakaylindsay256]

@@surlypiratewench1969 83/84 was my freshman year in college and I had so much fun. I felt so free after high school. The economy was not great then and we were told it would be hard to get a job. That made me try harder to get one. I was determined and was employed right away. Couldn’t wait to live on my own. Those were fun years. Now my son around the same age can’t even afford to live on his own. It’s sad how expensive everything is now.
