#AlternateFridayMusic May 9 2025 the word is "Jerk"

Composer: Alan Menken
Album: Little Shop of Horrors (1986)
Song: Skid Rown (Downtown)

Uptown, you cater to a million jerks
Uptown, you're messengers and mail-room clerks
Eating all your lunches at the hot-dog carts
The bosses take your money and they break your hearts

This is definitely my favourite soundtrack to a movie based on a '50s-style musical based on an extremely low-budget horror movie about a killer plant. But seriously, Rick Moranis kicks ass in this movie, and in this song, with the help of Ellen Greene, our musical chorus, and a cast of cameos. Great character and setting establishment.
