The Lost Challenges discussion

Little Shop of Horrors is a 1986 American rock musical horror comedy film directed by Frank Oz. It is a film adaptation of the off-Broadway musical comedy of the same name by composer Alan Menken and writer Howard Ashman about a nerdy florist shop worker who raises a vicious, raunchy plant that feeds on human blood. Menken and Ashman's Off-Broadway musical was based on the low-budget 1960 film 'The Little Shop of Horrors', directed by Roger Corman.
The 1986 film stars Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene, Vincent Gardenia, Steve Martin, and Levi Stubbs as the voice of Audrey II. The film also featured special appearances by James Belushi, John Candy, Christopher Guest, and Bill Murray. It was produced by David Geffen through The Geffen Company and released by Warner Bros. on December 19, 1986.

This year is the movie's 30th anniversary so to celebrate I came up with this challenge inspired by the memorable soundtrack.

Da-doo (Lyrics)

Da-doo,
I was walkin' in the wholesale flower district that day
Shoop da-doo,
and I passed by this place where this old Chinese man
Chang da-doo
he sometimes sells me weird and exotic cuttings,
Snip da-doo,
'cause he knows, you see, that strange plants are my hobby.
Da da da da da da-doo.
He didn't have anything unusual there that day.
Nope, da-doo,
so I was just about to, ya know, walk on by,
Good for you,
when suddenly,
Da doo
and without warning, there was this total eclipse of the sun.
It got very dark and there was this strange
sound, like something from another world.
Da-doo,
And when the light came back this weird plant was just sitting there,
whoop-see-doo
just, you know, stuck in, among the zinnias.
Audrey Two.
I coulda sworn it hadn't been there before,
but the old Chinese man sold it to me anyways,
for a dollar ninety-five.
Sha la la, la la la, la la la loo.

Would The Blushing Bounder be ok for #9. "Suddenly, Seymour" – Read a book with an alliterative title. (Title is at least two words and all words begin with the same letter.)?

I really meant for all words to begin with the same letter like The Two Towers or Aiding and Abetting but I think other people have used titles that began with 'the' or 'a' and I've allowed it so yes, that will be fine :)

And now I really am away - Merry Christmas!!

Thank Caroline. Happy Christmas!

No problem Elaine. Hope you had a good Christmas :)
