What's with Harry's Day-o (Banana Boat Song) in the Beetlejuice Movie/s?🍌🚣

Did someone say, "plate of shrimp"?-)

I must admit that I was never a fan of the first 'Beetlejuice' until I watched it right through before seeing the second movie, which to me is a much better movie than the original.

But one thing I still don't get was why Harry's Day-o (Banana Boat Song) is in the Beetlejuice Movie/s?

I wrote about seeing the second 'Beetlejuice' movie again yesterday in this post - 

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Halloween ... in Australia? 🌏👻🐨😱

And what why did Tim use Jimmy Webb's song 'MacArthur Park' in the second?

I'm a big fan of Jimmy's music, but 'MacArthur Park' is one of those songs of his that I'm not really a fan, but having been married in 1988 (the Year of the Dragon) the year the first movie came out and watching the second movie in 2024 (the Year of the Dragon) as I turned 60 and am expecting my first grandchild at the end of this month (a granddaughter), I have a different spin on the song now, vowing never to marry again in this life:-)
