The Best ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ Easter Eggs and References
From the return of Harry Belafonte's "Day-O" to the real meaning behind Lydia's TV series, these are the best "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" easter eggs.
One of the most iconic scenes from the first “Beetlejuice” is the dinner party during which the Maitlands possess the Deetz family and their guests to sing Harry Belafonte’s “Day-O.” Of course, the song makes a return in the sequel — in a very different context. The sequel gets its own larger-than-life musical number near its finale, with Beetlejuice and the Deetz women performing a lively rendition of Richard Harris’ “Macarthur Park” at Lydia’s wedding. When audiences first see a grown-up Lydia Deetz, she’s hosting her own paranormal investigation show called “Ghost House.” While it’s a perfect name for the series, it’s also a cheeky reference to what could have been the 1988 film’s title, if Warner Bros. got their way.
