Best part of the video (aside from the song, of course) is how the actors were all able to do the dance number while looking like they didn't WANT to be doing it-- since the ghosts were controlling them. That was probably difficult to do.
I've always loved that wink but it never occurred to me that it was a signal from them to her until you suggested it! I always just enjoyed it as a wink. Now I know it adds a whole new level of meaning to it. Thank you!!
Scenes like this are impressive. The actors ability to make it look like as if they're being controlled and moved by external sources will always be amazing.
Catherine O'hara was on point in this scene. She was on beat, she had rhythm..she carried this scene. One of my favorite parts of this movie. Good on you Catherine!
@@MatthewAMel I don't remember dude. It's been so long. Don't judge my humor attempt. I could google it but meh. Edit: I googled it....won't confirm if I'm painfully wrong. Shut up 😂
You can actually see in the actors' faces how much fun they're having in this scene even though their characters are being forced to do this against their will. I love it
@@viralviruz8694 it’s a Tim Burton movie and it’s really good It’s about a dead couple who wants these people out of their home but there ways won’t work so they get beetljuice who basically ruins everything XD
I feel old. I'm 39 years old, I was walking through one of the shopping squares at lunch today (in the UK) and I saw a kid staring in a takeaway shop window looking at the menu, he was humming/singing Day-O quite happily to himself while nibbling on a chocolate bar. Surreal moment, I felt as if Beetlejuice was with a new generation and I had just witnessed it haha!
There's no way anyone watching the movie the first time could even vaguely predict what happens after she says "I would rather talk about ..." So utterly brilliant.
Someone commented that Pennywise should’ve had the losers club dancing like this in the restaurant scene in It Chapter 2 and I’ve never wanted anything more in my life
The looks on everyone's faces, their acknowledgement that they are doing this against their will, and Otho's line: "That's cute, Delia" make this scene for me.
Everything about this movie was so strange, so peculiar and yet it was pure gold entertainment. A memorable classic. From the house scenes to the shrunken head scene through the entire film, it was a crowd favorite for sure. Also a bit of nostalgia. Reflected upon fondly.
0:56 As a Jamaican Watching this scene i always burst into tears of laughter watching that actress play that scene.. the look on her face was priceless. great actress
I like how that one Asian woman got really into it Edit: some of y’all need to calm down. It don’t matter what bra she has on, it don’t matter if she’s Japanese or not. But I’m concerned that some of you don’t know Japan is in Asia 👀
So, is anyone gonna talk about how Otho is obviously enjoying this? Look at his face in some scenes. It’s my Headcanon that he’s not even possessed. He’s just doing this for the hell of it.
@@viralviruz8694 Beetlejuice is the main villain of this film. This scene is before he is awoken. This scene is the ghosts trying to scare the people out of the house.
Catherine O’Hara is a jewel. She is the best at making herself a mockery and overacting. I love this woman so much. She sees the comedy in roles and owns it to the fullest, always.
@mrmister769 lol the only ones that I’d call fucked up are Sleepy Hollow and Sweeney Todd, just because they’re gory. The rest are just kinda weird and dark/gothy.
@@evanfaust8672dude those are just gore, the aesthetic horror of the Edward Scissorhands universe is terrifying. He has scissors for hands (inexplicably always sharpened), he can’t take his clothes off (literally, they are a part of him), he is practically molested by an older woman, he is forced to take part in a robbery because of his mech hands and that results in him being driven out of town by a pitchfork mob, where Edward accidentally turns the regular creepy castle on the hill into a murder castle on the hill. And none of that would have happened had the mom not been selling (poorly) a makeup-based pyramid scheme door to door. Much scarier than Sondheim 🥴 No but for real, the gore is the least scary part of Sweeney Todd too. The judge keeps a young girl locked in a room so that he can look at her whenever he wants.
@@dinahkyle3196 idk how i feel about that. You can't really capture what this offered these days. Especially with controversy ruining entertainment these days
I always thought Catherine O'hara was a very beautiful woman in this, and in Home Alone. And the cute hairstyles they have her wear in this film. She pulls them off so well, and looks great. The short look. The wavy short look.
@@tallontedvideoandtechsolutions it's definitely not recorded with the music playing the background. Yes, music videos are recorded that way, but that's not how it's done in film.
This is such a unique scene of such a unique movie. Honestly i dont know many films that can evoke so many different reactions to a scene that involves both humor and horror. Its truly remarkable.
I saw this in the theater when it first came out. I'll never forget this scene. The audience roared with laughter and you could barely hear the song during this scene. An instant classic.
Fun fact: This scene was actually a last minute addition. It was written by Tim Burton during the movie’s development, but he cut it, only to eventually put it back in the movie right before filming had wrapped.
Harry Belafonte was one of my and my father’s favorite singers of all time. His songs were full of joy, passion, and soul. He had a unique style that blended folk, calypso, pop, and Caribbean rhythms. He sang about love, freedom, and social issues with a captivating voice and a charismatic presence. I loved his songs like "Day-O", "Island in the Sun", "Jamaica Farewell", and "Matilda". They always lifted my mood and made me want to dance. He was a musical legend and a humanitarian hero. I will always admire him and his music ❤ Rest In Peace beautiful human being and thank you for all you did!
Yes! I went to Jamaica a few months ago and the guy talked about this song- he said it originated from Jamaica and was about people picking bananas. I don’t really really remember anything else he said, but it was a cool experience!
By far my favorite scene in the film. The actors are wonderful and I love the fact that they liked what the ghosts did to them instead of being scared lol

I would probably just sit in a chair with a pair of glasses on and read a book.whenever the dad or mom woke up I'd just grab a tea cup and make sipping sounds till they noticed,then say "Ello luv"
@@Snobert99 It's not a "spooky" song for a horror movie, my guy. Just look at the scene here from the original movie to prove the point. There is no horror to be found. The characters are simply shocked more than anything.
@@SportZFan4L1fe I wouldn’t call it a horror film. It’s more of a dark comedy. It has very silly moments, but most of its humour is intended to be slightly disturbing, so it’s a dark comedy in my books. Not to mention the context of the song in the sequel.
I agree too but it's about what movie they're making, if they're making a hero movie you can't do that without SOME special effects today is just amplified 90s special effects
What struck me the most when I saw this as a kid (besides the horrifying ending) was how Catherine O’Hara showed she has some rhythm. I became a lifelong fan of hers ever since.
This scene could have gone 3-4 minutes with ease. Such an organic shot. Nobody is quite on time and it all comes together perfect. Truly a masterpiece.
@MrRandomTV1000 hack? No, probably annoyed after seeing the scene play out a dozen times, both filming and editing, not to mention outtakes and or resetting the scene, I can see how the scene would seem played out. Happens a lot. Especially on staged jokes
Has to be one of the funniest and well played scenes ever. If there isn't, there ought to be an award for Catherine O'Hara's performance. Never tire of seeing this again, and always brings joy...
I was shown this song in third grade for music class I had no idea it was in this movie until I watched it for the first time yesterday it’s such a good song
As an adult now, you realize how amazing these actors are. As a kid, there's such a thing as too perfect... I enjoyed this scene for the music and the ending. Now I love everything about it.
Yes, because this isn't a classic because of an inherent quality but because of the time it was released in. Anything other than this that's "like" it will never be able to get a favorable reception. Case in point: Tim Burton's entire career recently. He has made movies that are much better than this and they get shat on.
@@mechanicalmonk2020 I don't feel he's made "amazing" movies the last 20 years. This scene is iconic for its acting and the actors. Actors today are rancid nobody cookie cut California hipsters.
Years ago we had several friends over for dinner and I played this video. Then I assigned them all a part to play - we were on the floor laughing hysterically!
I have seen this movie like a hundred times...and I still maintain that Winona is not acting in that corner cracking up. This had to be funny as hell to watch from that corner. lol

One does not simply hear this song and not think about this Beetlejuice scene.
*cough cough* stolen comment *cough cough*
Right!!
Correction: Betelgeuse.
Flabbie Khan
The movie is beetlejuice, the character is Betelgeuse.
I dunno, I always think of The Muppet Show.
The way the woman with the hair bow gets into it is amazing. It's like she was waiting her entire life for this single moment.
That’s what I was thinking
from 1:08-1:12 she kills it!
All the others seem weirded out by it but she's just into it
one of the most iconic scenes in movie history
of course
I recently saw bloopers with winona from stranger things doing a little samba dance like she did at the end of beetlejuice.
Yes!
Heard the song never seen the scene toll now 😲
Actually Singin’ in the Rain was the most iconic, but I love this scene.
Catherine O'Hara's acting really sold this scene.
She was gorgeous.
She's really underappreciated as an actress. Honestly, great character actress.
She's amazingly talented 💕
KEVIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dirty Harry unparalleled really.
Best part of the video (aside from the song, of course) is how the actors were all able to do the dance number while looking like they didn't WANT to be doing it-- since the ghosts were controlling them. That was probably difficult to do.
Confused, terrified choreographed dance number
Bob Canada not really its all in the facial expressions
I bet they had a right laugh doing this scene 😂
it’s actually pretty easy ahah
That's why it's called " acting".
0:36 i really like the detail of her winking at Lydia to let her know it's Adam and Barbara possessing them. Makes this scene so much better.
That’s a cool detail👍
I've always loved that wink but it never occurred to me that it was a signal from them to her until you suggested it! I always just enjoyed it as a wink. Now I know it adds a whole new level of meaning to it.
Thank you!!
It's not Linda.. its Lydia. Did you even watch the movie?
Who the hell is Linda 😂
@@RetroActivityGamingit was probably autocorrect
Incredible acting in this scene. Not easy to pretend that you are being forced against your will to dance by malicious spirits.
Right.
But IMO Jeffrey Jones (Charlie) really looks like he doesn´t want to dance, but is forced to.
malicious... THE WAY I GIGGLED CHILE
@@Only-me jeffrey jones and cathrine ohara (delia) were actually the ones who suggested the song to tim burton
Also the fact that they're both confused and into it at the same time.
@@ava-wp1dr And it became one of the most iconic scenes of the film. 😊
Scenes like this are impressive. The actors ability to make it look like as if they're being controlled and moved by external sources will always be amazing.
By going from a face of enjoyment to "huh?" Lmao
🙂
Especially the napkins moving, I can't even tell if they're controlling them or not because their confused reaction is so convincing
I think its intentional so it shows why didnt ran away terrified like they expected
Also, they are conveying they aren't fully possessed because the ghosts aren't skilled enough in it yet. Good stuff.
Catherine O'hara was on point in this scene. She was on beat, she had rhythm..she carried this scene. One of my favorite parts of this movie. Good on you Catherine!
She is the GOAT
Black suit red tie guy was MVP though
It wasn't even just that. Her facial expression had both worry and excitement. She captured the comical nature of a flamboyant possession perfectly.
@@mlburkh I couldn't agree more with you 😊❤ Didn't know how to write it with good words in English ! 🤭 You did it ! Bravo

O'hara is probably the most underrated physical comedian of all time(see Best in show)!
He's a wild and crazy guy. He is a great comedian and actor and singer. He is one of the absolute best all-around performers.
Who
People can say whatever they want, but Catherine O’Hara is a comedic genius. I adore this woman
“What you did was impulsive, capricious, and melodramatic… but it was also wrong.”

I would never be able to enjoy a song ab slavery. Why’d they even use this song at all tf
I wonder how the hell they managed to role this scene without laughing at all ...
Retakes
They probably did.
Retakes and lots of practice lol
At 1:17 Winona Ryder is laughing in the corner
Ishan Jaiswal probably that, and a lot of them
WHEN HE LOOKS UNDER THE TABLE OMFG I’M DEAD
lol at first I thought he was looking for someone singing but then I just realized he's feeling the ghost move past him
@@rohunsaigal2576 - I think he's looking for a cassette player. The more expensive brands came with remote controls.
I know right lmao
The look on his face when he does it too funny. And again right before they sit back down. 😂😂😂😂
What’s funny about him looking under the table? I don’t get it, it just look normal to me?
I love how Beryl (the one with the bow-tie in her hair) is just going with the flow, just enjoying the whole experience.
the first lip sync battle, LOL!
My thoughts exactly!!!
Only Tim Burton would come up with this off the wall dance number
Star Child and make it work perfectly.
Star Child The fact that this isn't even the only one in the whole movie makes it better
He did it in Pee Wee too with the Tequila dance
Actually MJ is off the wall 😂😂😂
Seriously, how did this *entire movie* EVER work?
*dumps ice bucket and uses it as a drum in a confused manner*
That's my second favorite part of this scene
Manner.
Well they are in a manor and they are definitely confused...
Filip Zawistowski
I think that was the joke
@@pmarreck Getting the words "manner" and "manor" confused was part of the joke? Unless they have a really abstract sense of humour I doubt it.
I just saw Beetlejuice the musical and this scene was so well done! It was the best part of the Show!
Can we acknowledge the fact that Catherine O'Hara is a great dancer
Absolutely!
@P. R. Frfr
@P. R. I was thinking the same thing, she was perfect in this
I love her
Yeah
0:49 - He's actually the only one not possessed, but is just super into stuff like this
If I was a ghost or demon I would probably pull this shit too xD
MsClumsyAssassin ikr xD
hahaha...that's hilarious
MsClumsyAssassin same!
literally me
I would probably just sit in a chair with a pair of glasses on and read a book.whenever the dad or mom woke up I'd just grab a tea cup and make sipping sounds till they noticed,then say "Ello luv"
Nothing will ever beat the OG beetle juice
Their acting is amazing. The way they actually made look like they have no control of their bodies is incredible
"I would rather talk about......Day-o!!!!
Bea A dayyyyyyyy-oooo
Daylight comman they want to go home
Yes
Day! me say day me say day me daaaaay-oooo!
Daylight come and me wan go home
1:09 she’s totally feeling herself. 🤘🏼
she was feeling herself throughout the whole scene honestly
My FAVORITE part. She forgot to be scared and just flowed with it!
What a moment in film, this Beetlejuice. ❤
Hearing this song in the Beetlejuice 2 trailer brought back so many good memories of this scene.
...and the children sang it better than the original singer.
Not to me. It's NOT even the original song. They tried to slow the song down and make it spooky as if it's a freaking Horror film.
@@SportZFan4L1fe That's what I like best about that version.
@@Snobert99 It's not a "spooky" song for a horror movie, my guy. Just look at the scene here from the original movie to prove the point. There is no horror to be found. The characters are simply shocked more than anything.
@@SportZFan4L1fe I wouldn’t call it a horror film. It’s more of a dark comedy. It has very silly moments, but most of its humour is intended to be slightly disturbing, so it’s a dark comedy in my books. Not to mention the context of the song in the sequel.
Epic scene. Today's movies just don't compare with the 80s/90s movies
Agree nowadays movie s Special effects is like watching a freakin VideoGame. 80 s movies FX were way better. Believe it or not.
Kids today just don’t understand the talent that is Tim Burton
@@krammerarratia woah woah woah there were movies in the 90s that had SOME special effects
I agree too but it's about what movie they're making, if they're making a hero movie you can't do that without SOME special effects today is just amplified 90s special effects
80s 90s and 2000s movies are great.
MY CHILDHOOD IS COMING BACK FROM THE 80's TO Beetlejuice 2 :P
84 🙌 this is my top favorite.
One of the best dance scenes ive ever seen. She is living the song not dancing.
I used to be terrified of this video because of the shrimp hands and I thought they were possessed
You don't say?
😂
Dude have you watched the movie? They are possessed.
The shrimp hand were unnessecary. They shouldve ended the scene there
H Boy! No, because they were trying to scare away the living people, and spontaneously dancing was just the buildup
Beatlejuice renewed interest in Harry Belafonte's music. Great scene, great movie!

What struck me the most when I saw this as a kid (besides the horrifying ending) was how Catherine O’Hara showed she has some rhythm. I became a lifelong fan of hers ever since.
I swear. She was killin it
I was like oh she dancing dancing and her facial expressions LOL!!
@@zackmckenzie3582 Rip Glenn Shadix 😢 😢 😢 😢
This had to be one of the _MOST_ funnest scenes to shoot!! 😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
R.I.P to the author of this song who passed away today, it will be interesting meeting beetlejuice for him :D.
the author of the song did meet the beetlejuice cast...

@@shaleniravikumar8203 Thanks for the link
@@shaleniravikumar8203 that’s not what they meant 😅 they meant meeting beetlejuice because the composer died
When she hit that “come Mr. Tally man, tally mi banana” her body roll was everything 😩😂👏🏾🎯
She didn’t say that. She said “Oh Mr Taliban Hand Over Bin Laden”.

The call back to this scene in Beetlejuice Bettlejuice was brilliant.
Two call backs.
The funeral where the song is sang acapella.
Another lip-syncing scene, this time it's MacArthur Park.
This scene could have gone 3-4 minutes with ease. Such an organic shot. Nobody is quite on time and it all comes together perfect. Truly a masterpiece.
Fun fact, Burton had to be convinced to keep this in as he personally finds it unfunny and annoying.
kevin texter i thought it was hilarious and a perfect addition to the movie
Both of harry Belafonte songs were perfect for this film I found it funny and also catchy
@MrRandomTV1000 hack? No, probably annoyed after seeing the scene play out a dozen times, both filming and editing, not to mention outtakes and or resetting the scene, I can see how the scene would seem played out. Happens a lot. Especially on staged jokes
mightve been funnier if they sang it themselves
So glad he kept it it’s like iconic now I fucking love this movie
Has to be one of the funniest and well played scenes ever. If there isn't, there ought to be an award for Catherine O'Hara's performance. Never tire of seeing this again, and always brings joy...
RIP Harry Belafonte. All the little ones who didn't know who you were would forever recognize your voice and remember this song after this scene.
I was shown this song in third grade for music class I had no idea it was in this movie until I watched it for the first time yesterday it’s such a good song
Catherine O'Hara's got some serious rhythm! 🎼🎵🎶👏👍
:)
KEVIN!
She's a goddamn treasure.
Nah yes she does lol
As an adult now, you realize how amazing these actors are. As a kid, there's such a thing as too perfect... I enjoyed this scene for the music and the ending. Now I love everything about it.
Given the fact that I go to work before the sun rises, "daylight come and we want go home" perfectly describes every day at work.
I work nights so describes the end of my shift 😂told this to my boss that line and he laughed
I’m a tad ashamed of how many times I’ve watched this in a row.
Why?
Same here.Love the song and the scene,amazing
Everyone in this scene just nails it. It's one of my fav by far. Classic. Nothing will ever be made like this again....
Sooo true. This scene is just iconic. 💯💯
@@chasehedges6775 I love how Winona Ryder went from Beetlejuice as Lydia to Joyce byers in the series Stranger things
Yes, because this isn't a classic because of an inherent quality but because of the time it was released in. Anything other than this that's "like" it will never be able to get a favorable reception.
Case in point: Tim Burton's entire career recently. He has made movies that are much better than this and they get shat on.
Maybe in beetlejuice 2 in 2024 let hope
@@mechanicalmonk2020 I don't feel he's made "amazing" movies the last 20 years. This scene is iconic for its acting and the actors. Actors today are rancid nobody cookie cut California hipsters.
this would be a epic flash mob in a restaurant. please someone do that lol
Mr. Green if you type in beetle juice day o wedding dance there's loads of these 😂 quite funny Lol
Years ago we had several friends over for dinner and I played this video. Then I assigned them all a part to play - we were on the floor laughing hysterically!
Mr. Green
YESSSS
LOL
Oh please nooo. There is enough crazy men and woman in restraints and public places doing things
I have seen this movie like a hundred times...and I still maintain that Winona is not acting in that corner cracking up. This had to be funny as hell to watch from that corner. lol
This never gets old
1:41 never gets old! Lol ....very impressionable on a 10 year olds mind hehe
