"Who got you smiling like that?"

What the fuck is with gay people and their inability to have a happy ending

Now let me say this about the songs of the Caribbean - almost all black music is deeply rooted in metaphor. The only way that we could speak to the pain and anguish of our experiences was often through how we codified our stories in the songs that we sang.

And when I sing the 'Banana Boat Song,' the song is a work song. It's about men who sweat all day long, and they are underpaid, and they're begging the tallyman to come and give them an honest count - counting the bananas that I've picked, so I can be paid. And sometimes, when they couldn't get money, they'll give them a drink of rum. There's a lyric in the song that says, 'Work all night on a drink of rum.'

People sing and delight and dance and love it, but they don't really understand unless they study the song that they're singing a work song, a song of rebellion.

Beetlejuice as cab driver in a TV commercial.

I searched for this video for years. I knew I'd seen it on TV before the movie opened in 1988, but I only saw it once. No one else I knew had seen it. Over the decades I began to believe I dreamed it.

It finally popped up on YouTube! In it, Harry Belfatone sings "The Banana Boat Song (Day O)" during clips from the then-not-yet released movie.

At the end is the only time we see Beetlejuice outside of the model in his GUIDE outfit.
