I'm Luke Hadley and I just edit­ed the new Beetle­juice DVD...check it out at jol­ly­d­warf.com DVLH 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 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.
