That "Day-O" Song in the Movie Classic "Beetlejuice"

This is one of the most memorable scenes from my high school movie-watching days. Beetlejuice was one of the earlier works of Tim Burton and even at that time, you can't miss the originality of his ideas! I think this came out in 1986.

This scene just actually comes from out of the blue - that's why it's so funny when you see it in the context of the movie! Here they were just talking and suddenly, they sang!! And they danced too! Took me a while to get over it!

I knew the song already by then since Mama always played Harry Belafonte at home. I learned later on that it was the Banana Boat Song.
