![]() ![]() The theme most associated with this iconic TV series, actually wasn’t the original. This series had multiple themes written over the years, some of them by composers whose names you might know, some whose names are not so famous. Also, this weird show took the film’s premise to a whole new level and I love it for all of its odd sensibilities. I want to believe.īy the way, do you remember this theme starting a whole trend in music? Who still has their Pure Moods Volume 1 CD?!īeetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice! I love Danny Elfman’s theme to the Beetlejuice animated series so much that I’d face a whole herd of sandworms to listen to it. It’s like I hear it and I just know the aliens are about to land…and I’m good with that. Speaking of compulsive: What is it about this music that automatically makes me look up to the sky.
