I’ve been wanting to do this article for a LONG time! Little Shop Of Horrors is one of my favorite musicals and I always thought it would be fun to rank all of the songs in it. Since I recently rewatched it, it was fresh enough in my mind that I could finally do it. I omitted the song that was in the film’s alternate ending, of course, because I don’t know it at all. I hope you enjoy and let me know your favorite Little Shop Of Horrors song!! (SPOILER ALERT!!!)

12. The Meek Shall Inherit

With Mr. Mushnik (Vincent Gardenia) gone, Seymour (Rick Moranis) is suddenly getting everything he should want: money, Audrey (Ellen Greene), fame, etc. but with the prices he paid, he finds it difficult to enjoy any of it. This is honestly the most forgettable song in the entire film to me. I’ve watched this movie so many times and I can only think of the beginning of the song. Plus, the people talking at the beginning are so off-beat, and it’s hard for me to move past that.

11. Somewhere That’s Green

As Audrey prepares for her latest encounter with her abusive boyfriend, she starts to imagine having a perfect marriage and home with Seymour. Ellen Greene is undoubtedly a vocal talent in this film, but I just can’t stand the high-pitched singing in this number. It’s difficult to understand what she’s saying and it just doesn’t hit the ear right. It could’ve been an absolutely beautiful song, but I think it dropped the ball.

10. Da-Doo

As the shop gets its first customer (Christopher Guest) in a long time thanks to Audrey II’s (Levi Stubbs) uniqueness, Seymour explains where and how he found the unusual plant. There’s nothing really wrong with this song, it was just pretty forgettable, besides the “Da-Doo” part, of course. There are just so many other songs that I put above it. I do find it funny how the plant shop owner didn’t know where Audrey II came from and still sold it to Seymour as if he did know, that part was pretty funny.

9. Grow For Me

As Seymour tries desperately to find the right food to revive Audrey II, he realizes the only thing that the plant craves is blood. I have a sort of love/hate relationship with this song. When I hear it while watching the film, it’s catchy and I love it. However, it’s one of the ones that gets stuck in my head the most and not in a good way. I don’t know why my feelings on it change from when I listen to it when I just think about it.

8. Dentist!

As we’re introduced to Orin Scrivello D.D.S. (Steve Martin), he sings about how much he loves causing others pain and how his mother suggested that he go into dentistry to satisfy his sadistic urges. This one was a pretty okay song, it doesn’t really grab me like the other songs do. Although, I will say it definitely is the Sadists’ Anthem. There isn’t much to really say about it, the video was honestly more entertaining than the song, especially the giant open mouth effect.

7. Prologue

For our film’s introduction, Crystal (Tichina Arnold), Ronette (Michelle Weeks), and Chiffon (Tisha Campbell) explain how much trouble our characters are about to be in. This is one of those songs that’s so peppy, yet has more sinister lyrics. Well, the lyrics aren’t THAT sinister, but hopefully you know what I mean. The trio did an amazing job introducing us to what we’re in for with their astonishing musical talent. This one is just so fun!

6. Mean Green Mother From Outer Space

After Seymour finally discovers Audrey II’s plan to take over the world, Audrey II and his little plant buddies reveal they’re actually from outer space as they try to kill him. This was a great final song! This is honestly one a person can really dance to. It’s like a party/celebration song, which makes a lot of sense, since Audrey II was celebrating his (supposedly) impending victory. It’s one of the most fun and vain villain songs that I’ve ever heard!

5. Some Fun Now

As Seymour gives all the blood he can to a growing Audrey II, Crystal, Ronette, and Chiffon sing about how much fun he must be having. This one was off my radar for a long time, I have no idea why. Out of the blue, it started to be one of the songs that got stuck in my head the most. Now, I’ve come to really appreciate how fun and catchy it is! Now, it’s one of the reasons I throw this film on.

4. Suddenly Seymour

After Orin is pronounced missing, Audrey and Seymour finally express their feelings for each other. This one is undoubtedly a classic and one of the most popular songs. It’s another one of those moments where when they hit their high notes, it just hits my brain so right. It’s a beautiful moment were two broken souls finally unite. I really should have it higher on my list, but other songs have passed it over time, it might be because I listened to this one the most.

3. Suppertime

After Mr. Mushnik catches Seymour chopping up Orin’s body, he decides to perform his own citizen’s arrest. As he tries to get Seymour to leave to he could keep the plant, Audrey II decides it’s time for supper again. This one is a super underrated song. It’s very short, but it has certainly grown on me. The way the music and vocals perfectly built up the suspense of the scene. It actually sends chills down my spine when I hear it.

2. Feed Me

After Audrey II reveals he can talk, he tells Seymour he needs more than just a few drops of blood. When they see Orin abuse Audrey for the last time, they decide that he’s the perfect candidate for plant food. This one just gets me hyped up every time! When they start singing to each other about Orin having more than enough blood and Audrey II starts jumping up and down to the beat of the song was just too good. Plus, Seymour hitting those high notes really hit the spot!

1. Skid Row

As Mr. Mushnik berated Chiffon, Crystal, and Ronette standing outside of his shop, they, along with the rest of the neighborhood, sang about how difficult and miserable life on skid row really was. This one will always be the top choice for me! There have been times where I’d throw the movie on JUST to hear that song. The way everyone came together sang their hearts out about their situations was so fantastic and tragic. It’s a very powerful song with a message.
