| Description: |
I'm Luke Hadley and I just edited Beetlejuice's new DVD...Lester Green (born June 2, 1968), known as Beetlejuice (often abbreviated to Beetle or Beet), is a frequent guest on The Howard Stern Show and a member of Stern's Wack Pack. He has appeared in feature films as well as performed voice-over work.[1] Beetlejuice has performed with various Howard Stern Show related comedians, including those that perform under The Killers of Comedy Tour banner.[Personal life
Beetlejuice was born in Jersey City, New Jersey. He is a dwarf, standing 4 ft 3 in (1.3 m) tall.[3] Beetlejuice also suffers from microcephaly, which gives him his characteristic small head relative to his already small body.[4]
On the October 2, 2007 broadcast of The Howard Stern Show, Jerry O'Connell revealed that he knew Lester while he was growing up. O'Connell's mother was Beetle's special-ed teacher, and Beetle was such a good student that he did special work as O'Connell's mom's "assistant."[5]
[edit] Music career
Also known as "The Beetlejuice Song", "This Is Beetle" is sung by Howard Stern Wack Pack member Beetlejuice for the The Howard Stern Show in late 2004.[6] The song was recorded by Stern show producer Richard Christy, who then wrote music to accompany Beetle's raw vocals and engineered it into the full song.[7] The key lyrics to the song are "This is Beetle, he's bad as can and he knows he's the best."[8] The song, which Beetle created spontaneously in the recording studio, has been covered by the rock group Staind[9], who included the song on special editions of their album Chapter V. On September 19, 2005, Blues Traveler played their version of "This Is Beetle" on the Howard Stern Show.[8][10]
Initially, Stern was unable to broadcast this recording on his Sirius Satellite Radio program because CBS Radio owned the copyright to all of Stern's shows from K-Rock.[11] Stern and his producing staff recreated many of the more popular segments from his days on K-Rock, but attempts to recreate "This Is Beetle" were unsuccessful, likely as a result of Beetlejuice's disability.[citation needed] However, as of May 2006, Stern, Sirius, and CBS reached an agreement to sell the rights for all his K-Rock broadcasts to Sirius, thus enabling Stern to play the song |
