Beetlejuice Beetlejuice's soundtrack is available on vinyl for $40 via Waxwork Records. Shipping in November, it features music by Danny Elfman, Donna Summer, Bee Gees, Scott Weiland, Sigur Rós, Richard Harris, and more.

The 2xLP album is pressed on "Beetlejuice Splatter" colored vinyl with a sandworm etched D side. It's housed in a gatefold jacket with matte satin coating featuring art by Phantom City Creative and an 11x11 art print insert.

The "Weird Dream theory" of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice may be plausible based on this name connection.

If you haven't seen the film yet, then go freaking watch it already! It's been out for 3 weeks now. Spoilers below.

Exhibit A

The two songs that Betelgeuse lip-synced sang to Lydia are "Right Here Waiting" and "MacArthur Park".

The former being a timeless love song, and what I think is probably the best song that Betelgeuse could ever choose to convey his everlasting love for Lydia. And the fact that the song got released in 1989? A year after they met? It may does come across as creepy, and kinda scary, than romantic. (I personally thought it was romantic).

The latter being a stroke of genius as a climax musical choice. It definitely has the Beetlejuice touch to it like with the Banana Boat (Day-O) song, where you think it has no business being in the film, and then suddenly you can't imagine the film not having the song in it. The message and story behind "MacArthur Park", while sad when you hear it, is Betelgeuse wacky. The Juice boxes (Beetlejuice fans) have talked about how the song is Betelgeuse knowing that the wedding ain't gonna come to the conclusion he wants it to be, but still brought the song on to drive home his feelings to Lydia, him saying farewell (for now) and telling her she's the only one, ever, for him whether she wants to be or not.

Exhibit B

The names of the singers who sang the songs.

"Right Here Waiting" - Richard Marx

"MacArthur Park" - Richard Harris (and note that in the wedding scene, Betelgeuse used RH's version, not Donna's or any other covers)

Exhibit C

The name of Lydia's former partner who she once loved, the father of her only child.

RICHARD!

In conclusion

It was all a dream that Betelgeuse shared/gave to Lydia. He serenaded her with a RICHARD Marx song, coordinated a musical performance centering on RICHARD Harris' version of MacArthur Park for their wedding, and named the guy she had a kid with (then made him dead) in the dream RICHARD, the same name as the singers.

Call me out if this has been posted or mentioned before in other platforms. I'd like to read the discussions.

Again, this is a theory and must be taken with a grain of salt, it's just fun to connect the dots and give potential fanfiction and headcanon worthy material.

most evil thing beetlejuice ever did was make me listen to all of macarthur park (not weird al's version) on my own time just to think about him and lydia

Propaganda

Beowulf, Beowulf & Grendel (2005) Portrayed by: Gerard Butler Defeated Opponents: - King Henry V [Kenneth Branagh], Henry V (1989)

“I mean I don’t even know what to say? A classic hero. He's got humour, insight, valour, mercy, kindness, and Gerard Butler's flawless fucking face. King shit. Husband material.”

King Arthur Pendragon, Camelot (1967) Portrayed by: Richard Harris Defeated Opponents: - Ulrich von Jungingen [Stanislaw Jasiukiewicz], Knights of the Teutonic Order (1960)

“This portrayal of King Arthur is the kindest, saddest, most compassionate version I have ever seen. I saw this movie as a kid and was head over heels in love with King Arthur. He cares so much for everyone, including both Lancelot and Guinevere— even after they betray him.”
