That song appears earlier in the film, when Lydia's family and their guests are having dinner and unexpectedly (to them as well as the audience) begin dancing to it. The song is indeed a well-known track by calypso legend Belafonte, but it is nowhere near as popular as his signature track, "The Banana Boat Song." The scene in which Lydia Deetz (a career-making turn as well for then-16-year-old Winona Ryder) is floating near the ceiling and dancing, with a team of deceased football players backing her up on the staircase, takes place near the end of the film, and is done to the soundtrack of Harry Belafonte's "Jump in the Line (Shake, Shake Senora)." While "The Banana Boat Song" does appear in the film, it happens earlier than the scene you describe. It certainly was an interesting movie the film you sampled was Tim Burton's career-making horror-comedy, "Beetlejuice."Īnd you're almost there with the song in question, though you're stepping on the toes of some film-nerd controversy.
