Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) was met with music from the musical Beetlejuice ahead of her interview with Colorado radio station KOA on Friday.
Before host Ross Kaminsky began the interview, the station played a segment of Beetlejuice film score by composer Danny Elfman.
“Let’s talk about the intro music! Are you kidding me?” Boebert said to Kaminsky.
Kaminsky responded that his producer, ‘Dragon’ had picked the intro song, and asked, “Was that ‘Beetlejuice’ music?”
“Of course it was,” Boebert responded.
The track is in reference to Boebert’s scandal last year when she was escorted out of a performance of ‘Beetlejuice’ for causing a “disturbance” by singing, using phones to record, and vaping. Video footage also shows Boebert and her date groping each other.
The scandal is one of many that ultimately led the embattled lawmaker to switch districts and run for re-election in a more GOP friendly district in Colorado to save her political career. She narrowly won re-election in 2022 by fewer than 600 votes.
Boebert told Kaminsky that there are downsides to being one of the more “famous” members of Congress, but added that there are some perks as well.
“I mean I don’t have personal moments. I wish I was less on infrared camera, that would be great. So there are those aspects” she said. “But also, if I wasn’t who I am, and as loud as I am in this spotlight, then I don’t believe I would be as effective. Because in Congress, when I speak, people listen.”
