    My first thought was Double Loving by The Osmonds (among others). Maybe this one is The Doors?

    The Doors is correct

    Ham, George, Donkey Kong, and Rafiki all agree:

    Ghostbusters

    Monkeys- Curious George, Donkey Kong arcade game and Rafiki from the Lion King, can’t think of who Ham was though...

    Correct
    My daughter wanted to watch Ghostbusters for Halloween.
    I hadn’t seen it since the ‘80’s.
    Rick Moranis just nails it- he’s so funny.

    Sorry, we went to a football game yesterday.

    See, Ham threw me off, because I was thinking Toy Story. Also, I think of Donkey Kong as an ape and not a monkey.

    Fill in the blank with a two character first name.
    Home Improvement TV show reference for the last name.
    With those two it'd be easy to search for the song title if you don't know it.
