While promoting their highly anticipated Ghostbusters reboot, Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig sang the movie’s theme song on The Graham Norton Show.

Director Paul Feig explained that, “Kristen and Melissa came up with this way to really enrage men, which they thought would be to do the folk lady version of Ghostbusters.” The host then promised to slime Feig if McCarthy and Wiig sang their wonderful cover of the classic tune. It was epic and Feig was slimed.

Also on the show, the cast discussed their “annoyingly funny” co-star Chris Hemsworth, whom McCarthy wished he were anything but charming. “I have never rooted for someone to be just an unbelievable jerk,” said McCarthy. “I just needed something to be wrong with him.” In the movie, Hemsworth plays the ghoul-hunting foursome’s office receptionist.

The Ghostbusters reboot is set to hit theaters July 15th. Check out the performance below from the episode, which is set to air June 23^rd on BBC America.
