alright.. for whatever reason beetlejuice has been on a lot lately. now, i can’t really watch it because.. well.. yeah, it scares me. always has. the sandworms, the elongated faces, the creeping, crawling sculptures.. it was too much. tim burton is way too crazy for a young mind to handle. or most any mind for that matter. he does have, though, excellent taste in his musical choices. so i find myself, usually quite late a night, jumping in to check out where the movie is in its progress. usually it ends up with me turning it on for a couple seconds, just long enough to see if it’s my favorite part.. then change it to anything else if it’s not. but should i hear some belafonte and seem some rumps shaking.. then it’s all smiles 😉

you just have to love a little belafonte lighting up an otherwise morose scene. that and i have to say there was nothing wrong with, as a teenager myself, having a crush on a suicidal winona ryder.. right?
and so i’ll let this post go – very little substance but hopefully bringing plenty of smiles 😉

shake shake shake senora

day-o
as a side-note: my mom used to embarrass me relentlessly by singing and dancing to this song.. it was more than once that she actually got up at the dinner table and started acting this scene out (minus the shrimp hands thing).. and you think i’m kooky..
