How Beetlejuice Introduces a New Generation to Richard Harris’s Hit Song
The newly released Beetlejuice sequel has brought back plenty of nostalgia, but one moment, in particular, is sparking conversation among fans—the inclusion of the classic song “MacArthur Park.” While many are familiar with the song's dramatic lyrics and sweeping melody, audiences are only now learning that it was sung by actor Richard Harris, best known to a younger generation for his role as Albus Dumbledore in the first two Harry Potter films.
Harris, before becoming synonymous with his portrayal of the wise Hogwarts headmaster, enjoyed a brief but successful singing career in the late 1960s. His version of “MacArthur Park” was released in 1968 and became a surprise hit, known for its unusual metaphor-filled lyrics and Harris’s theatrical vocal delivery. Despite its success, the song has often puzzled listeners with its lines about a cake left out in the rain, contributing to its status as a cult classic.
Now, with the song featured in Beetlejuice, fans are rediscovering this lesser-known side of Richard Harris. Social media has been buzzing with reactions as people make the connection between the Dumbledore they know and the actor’s unexpected hit song. For many, it’s a surprising realization that the man behind the wand had such a varied career outside of acting, including a moment in the spotlight as a singer.
The use of "MacArthur Park" in Beetlejuice not only adds to the film’s quirky, nostalgic atmosphere but also revives interest in Harris’s multi-faceted talents. It’s a reminder that some actors, like Harris, have a legacy that goes far beyond their most famous roles, with hidden gems that can still surprise audiences decades later.
