A few things rattling around in the ol' noodle today:
Have been listening to Gnarls Barkley's St. Elsewhere album. Super good. And I'm only about 5 years behind. (It's the 2006 debut album.)
The song The Final Countdown is from an album by the same name from the Swedish rock group Europe. It was released in 1986. Now you'll all have that keyboard riff stuck in your head. Dodoo dooo doooooo. Dodoo doot doot doooooo!
The movie Little Shop of Horrors (the one with Rick Moranis and Steve Martin) was based on a musical that was based on a film. The original film was produced in 1960. It is black and white and features a young Jack Nicholson as the sadistic dentist. The film became an off-Broadway musical in 1982, which was then picked up and made into a movie in 1986. The original ending has the plants winning, eating everyone in sight. Unfortunately, audiences didn't seem to like the fact that the hero (Seymour Krelbourne) dies (gets eaten by Audrey II) in the end, so a new ending was made for the 1986 movie. The music is doo-wop/early rock, with a late fifties/early sixties vibe.
