Benny the Bouncer sat back down at the piano and started playing an old reggae song. Just then, who should walk in but Michael Keaton, all dressed up like his iconic character Beetlejuice.
"How low can you go, Keith?"
Everyone started dancing as a pole lowered from midair and stopped in front of Keith and Merle's cocktail table.
"Daaaaaay-O! Dayy-O! Daylight come and me wanna go home!" sang Beetlejuice.
Merle did the limbo first, since he was oldest, and then they looked at Keith.
"I really don't feel like this will help," he muttered but waited for the pole to lower again, and did the limbo.
A split second after Keith passed underneath the pole, Michael Keaton/Beetlejuice began laughing maniacally and morphing into a giant earthworm, which then started furiously digging into the cloud ceiling.
"Come along boys, let's get lost and see if we can't find us a little bit of heaven!" the worm screamed, disappearing into a hole in the sky.
They all looked at each other.
Merle shook his head.
"All my friends are downstairs. I have no reason to ascend,"
Merle looked at Keith Emerson, "So how about you, Tarkus, ol' boy?"
"Well," he said, mind still hazy from this new after life reality, "I guess I'll try it out."
Merle gave him a boost up into the hole.
He was whooshed away like into a vacuum hose.
Merle sat back down on his stool and sipped his drink lazily.
"Wonder what I'm supposed to do to get down there," he muttered. "I really want to talk to Johnny and Hank."
