(Ghost) Riders in The Sky from the movie Ghost Riders?

Question

During the credits of Ghost Rider, they had a song called (Ghost) Riders in The Sky. I looked this up and found that originally Johnny Cash sung this song, but in the movie, it was a remake of the song. Who sung that song in the credits, its really killing me to find out!

I found a song that I THINK was in the movie, its from Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, but I am not 100% sure but it sounds close to it. Still not sure on if it is or not.

Ok excellent, now that we found out who sung it, where can I get it, on iTunes, its not on there and its not on Limewire either.

Answer 1

It was actually a band called Spiderbait, (at least what I've been told). You might recognize Spiderbait as the band that did the
"Black Betty" cover, originally done by Ram Jam. (This cover was in The Dukes of Hazard)

I've been trying to find this particular version of Riders in the Sky but haven't had any luck, apparently every country western singer since the invention of the guitar has done a remake.

Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson, Blues Brothers, Boston Pops, Marty Robbins, Outlaws, Ventures, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, and The Doors, just to name a few.

I'm not sure who originally did the song.

Answer 2

Johnny Cash sings "Ghost Riders in the Sky".

Answer 3

I thought Tex Ritter did Ghost Riders in the Sky. Originally I mean.

Answer 4

It could have been sung byThe Sons Of The Pioneers - my dad was a great country and Western fan and I remember this being one of his favourites.

Answer 5

yeah, It was Spiderbait. I stuck around just for the music credits so I could see who it was. I really liked their version, and have tried to find it, but so far no luck.

Answer 6

i was told i was a group called spidervane but i cant find any info on them anywhere and the song isnt included on the official soundtrack.
