Little Shop of Horrors (1960) starring Jonathan Haze, Jackie Joseph

Classic black comedy about young schnook who develops a bloodthirsty plant and is forced to kill in order to feed it. Directed by Roger Corman, the film was the basis for the later hit stage musical. Wrote by Charles Griffith. Infamous in its time as the “film shot in two days”, but now is considered one of Roger Corman’s most endearing classics. Later made into an Off Broadway musical and Hollywood film musical.

Song lyrics to Hey look me over from the 1960 Broadway musical Wildcat, originally sung by Lucille Ball

Hey look me over, lend me an ear
Fresh out of clover, mortgage up to here
Don’t pass the plate folks, don’t pass the cup
I figure whenever you’re down and out, the only way is up
And I’ll be up like a rosebud high on the vine
Don’t thumb your nose, but take a tip from mine
I’m a little bit short of the elbow room, so let me get me some
And look out world, here I come
