In a crowded field for summer songs — from Drake to Rihanna, Calvin Harris to The Chainsmokers — Justin Timberlake looks set to separate himself from the pack with his infectious new jam, “The Ghostbusters Movie Just Doesn’t LOOK Good,” part of the soundtrack to the new Dreamworks Animation feature Trolls.

It’s a bit of a homecoming for Justin Timberlake, after starring in the 2002 Dreamworks horror film “The Ring” as “Ring Boy #5,” the role that launched his acting career.

The video, released in tandem with the single on all streaming services, features Timberlake in the studio with all 7 of his friends: Derek Jeter, Malia Obama, Professor Cranberries, Wishbone, Jimtin Stumblerake the Horrible Pop Experiment, Andre 3000, and Floorboards Barry (who is never seen, but is constantly being stepped on and tripped over in the video, forcing Justin to stop the song and scream “BARRY” for a full minute at the ground). They dance and sway to the sweet island groove and funky pop beat of the latest Timberlake hit.

Here are the lyrics so you can request this tune at your local karaoke bar this summer!

The Ghostbusters Movie Just Doesn’t LOOK Good

I got this feelin’ / Inside my bones

I’ve got a hundred thousand wacky wavy bones

It looks so shitty / All of their jokes

I’ve got no beef with women bustin’ up some ghosts

It’s just that

Movie meant a lot and now they’re pissing on the fans

I deserve to have my wishes catered to— Woo!

I want to see a proper sequel, show me Venkman show me Stantz

All these stupid feminazis make —

BARRY! BARRY. BARRY!!!!

BARRY. BARRRRRRY! GET AWAY FROM MY FRIENDS!

BAAAAAAAAARRY. BARRY STOP. STOOOOOOOOOOOP BARRY BOY.

CUT IT OUUUUUT BARRY GET OUT OF HEEEEERE.

THIS WAS MY SONG, MY SONG TO SING I BROUGHT ALL MY FRIENDS HERE TO LISTEN TO IT AND YOU RUINED IT

WRIGGLE AWAY FROM THE STUDIO. YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED IN ANYMORE

MAYHAPS YOUR GOTDAMN J.T. PRIVILEGES DESERVE TO GET REVOKED

GO LIE UNDER THE FLOORBOARDS IN THE CORNER AND THINK ABOUT THE INSANE THINGS YOU’VE DONE

I HAVE TO GET AN ICE PACK FOR PROFESSOR CRANBERRIES

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRY

What a tune! This is sure to light up the radio this summer. Nobody does it like JT!
