Default Little Shop of Horrors

A weird and hilarious musical from the 80s. It's actually kind of terrifying in a lot of ways, and yet, high schools continue to do this musical over and over again every year. I guess it has some timeless charm.

Makes perfect sense right?

This song is the one I remember best. Steve Martin and Rick Moranis are kind of perfect.



NOW SPIT!!!

Skid Row, yes. This song is the stuff of dreams, even though the beginning is kind of annoying and the white girl has a cat voice. I love the slice of life trope though. It really does paint a picture of life in the inner city. I lived that once. **** is real!



POOR! All my life I've always been poor...

This isn't one of the most well-loved songs of the movie but I so love the lyrics.



Seymour! How would you like to be my son? SAY YES! Seymour, I want to be your Dad.

Hilarious! Give 'er a listen and if you're into man-eating plants, watch the whole movie, yeah?

I love Little Shop of Horrors. I saw it on stage back in the 80s and it was amazing. Then I saw the movie and that was amazing. Then my high school did the play and I played Mr. Mushnik in it and that was... fun.

Have you ever you ever seen the old Roger Corman movie from 1960 that the stage play was based on? It's not as good as the play or the 80s movie (and it's not a musical), but its worth watching. It was filmed in less than three days, which is something I've always found pretty impressive.
