Awesome compilation! I'm having trouble finding footage on KZfaq (bandwidth is limited for me at the moment), but I remember the older iteration of the Beetlejuice Graveyard Review show at Universal also doing the Banana Boat song at the end when I saw it live in the 90s. It wasn't a dinner scene, but Beetlejuice danced while flanked by a couple of prop skeletons on a horizontal pole if I remember right.

Fun Fact, Alex Brightman voiced Beetlejuice in the teen titans episode.

I just realized that Leslie legit had to play fight with a fake pig 8 times a week and actually got paid for it. Idk why but that fact just makes me smile 🤣

I love how in the musical Adam is taking the possession seriously while Barbara is just vibing

I can’t believe I just sat through 15 minutes of the banana boat song

My favourite part of the Day-O scene is the fact that Adam and Barbra were sure that this was the best way to scare some people out of the house. The banana boat song.

I've been in the beetlejuice fandom for a long time and for me the musical is the epitome of all the iterations cartoon and even the movie. The musical made me so emotional, I waited years for more Beetlejuice content 😭

The last one I found really cute, touched my heart a little. Now the teen Titan one was kinda weird tho, not a big fan of the show but Beetlejuice made that one episode slightly better

The part of the scene where the shrimp reach up and grab their faces and shove them back was shot backwards with the hands on the faces then going into the bowls and the film was reversed. The reason, the actors kept getting poked in the eye by the shrimp,because the performers wearing the shrimp gloves couldn't see the actor's faces

Honestly "that's how much you know, I've stopped using my magic twenty seconds ago" felt like such a rad line?

"I stopped using my magic 20 seconds ago." Heh, they vibing.

Now we know where “brrrkaka” comes from in the musical

Day-o scene: exists

Alex talking with his normal voice in Beetlejuice costume it's so weird, but he's so cute

I think what makes the original moment so iconic is how completely out of left field it was. When they [the ghosts] said they wanted to do a possession, I'm sure most people in the theaters were expecting something akin to The Exorcist with a more comedic tone. The moment "DAY-O!" came out of O'Hara's mouth, it probably sent everyone through a loop. Subverted expectations tend to stick with a person more than tradition, and now you can't even mention Beetlejuice in any context without that scene popping in your head.

ok but like can we talk about how ICONIC the original one was.

I could just see this when they first practiced it… everyone singing it normally but that one fan of the animated series in the back like “BRRRRRAKA!”. 🤣 And the director is just like “Yeah, let’s keep yet another reference to the cartoon in there.”.

My favorite part of the original is right before she starts singing she looks around like she knows what she's about to do almost like the character is about to play a prank on everyone

This was really cool, to watch the cultural historical evolution of this song, and how any time Beetlejuice shows up as a remake or character of any sort, Day-o also makes an appearance. I had no idea there were so many Beetlejuice remakes.

Was anyone going to tell me that beetlejuice made a appearance in TTG or
