Today in weird YouTube stuff: I got a copyright claim from Ray Parker Jr. for using a piano arrangement of the Ghostbusters theme. We are now “sharing” revenue on the video. Then, I saw Jeremy Jahns post that he also got a copyright claim for singing the Ghostbusters theme...

Why would a music composition claim be abuse? Musical compositions are copyrighted. Did you have licensing rights to create a cover of the song?

It is. Just dispute it. We got hit for copyright stuff before on our videos and they got a fraction of a percent of your views. These companies/people work the same way patent trolls do. They spam out the strikes because more people just accept it than will argue it.
