I found that enjoyable, as well as the Beetlejuice scene. That's probably my favorite scene in the entire movie.

I just found his Calypso album on vinyl at the Salvation Army thrift store the other day. Only cost me 50 cents.

Under the "singer/entertainer" umbrella, has Harry Belafonte done anything since then?

Worshipped at the feat of Castro et al and figured out that Cuban political prisoners deserve what they get.

Big fan of AA (Alan Arkin) who co-wrote while with Second City. Check out the animated version on Youtube. It's a hoot.
