And how — Lewis won big (but is enjoined from saying how big): https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/53452/was-ghostbusters-theme-stolen-huey-lewis

Until the suit when I first heard GB theme on the movie I thought it was a ripoff of “Soul Finger:” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpI1fcJdFrA

Yes. Parker was sued and the case was settled out of court.

That opening instrumental part leaves no doubt that it was lifted from that song. 8>)
