It is a lifetime ambition of mine that one day I may hear someone utter the phrase ‘It's cold outside’ and not immediately have my brain start playing the Red Dwarf theme to itself on repeat.
Spike: *Picks up phone* Buffy: Who're you gonna call? Spike: *pause* Buffy: That phrase is never going to be usable again, is it?
"Who ya gonna call?", "I've got a theory", and "It's cold outside" I think are gone for good... On the other hand, annoyingly, you presumably in the past heard that phrase without hearing that music, so it's like a mid-life crisis or something, our lifetime ambition is something we used to do with impunity... :)
I have a pleasant memory of going into one of the Cambridge bookshops around 2001 and finding that they'd marked the various sub-sections of their computing shelves with hand-laser-printed signs saying things like "Java", "SQL", "C++". Most of those signs were completely unhumorous, but one read

If he's prepared to do Mars Attacks, he's probably prepared to do anything sufficiently silly.
But, now I think about it, Frank Sinatra would have been ideal. Maybe Tony Bennett is next-best, and could possibly even be persuaded given he did a cameo as a singer with Mafia connections in Analyze This.
At one point during yesterday's meeting, while talking about brand awareness, someone used the phrase "Who are you going to call?" and about three of us said "Ghostbusters!"
