In the Second Act of LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, there is a point in the story where Audrey can't sleep.
She even takes some medication to help her fall asleep.
What pills does she take?
GOOD LUCK, everybody!!!

cketon, CONGRATULATIONS!
YES, Audrey takes Sominex to try and fall asleep--even though it doesn't help!
WELCOME to the Trivial Pursuit Winner's Circle, ckeaton, on a quite obscure question!!!
I bow to your knowledge of LSOH!
And now for your bonus points: What was the name of the song added to the film version of LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS?

"Sominex":
I couldn't sleep
I took a Sominex
But voices in my head kept saying
Go to Seymour, talk to Seymour
I drank some tea
But gee the feeling wasn't gone
Seymour, sweetheart
Tell me, darling
What's been going on?
"I say YOU'RE the CUTEST one. No, I say YOU'RE the CUTEST One. And we go on like that from dawn to three."

Posted: 1/4/05 at 10:23amIn addition to "Mean Green Mother from Outer Space," there's also "Some Fun Now," which borrows a bit of "Ya Never Know," but is essentially a new song.
"Gif me the cobra jool!"

Well, cketon and magruder, you BOTH made outstanding answers!
(To be perfectly honest, magruder, I wasn't thinking of "Some Fun Now"--but you're absolutely correct--it is pretty much of a new song as well.)
And the prize for both of you?
Well, today, a small venus fly-trap is being delivered to both of your doors--I hope you have plenty of human flesh on hand... I hear this plant gets REAL hungry... 
Enjoy your day, everyone!!!

"Mean Green Mother From Outer Space":
Better wait a minute.
Ya better hold the phone.
Ya better mind your manners.
Better change your tone.
Don't you threaten me son.
You got a lot of gall.
We gonna do things my way.
Or we won't do things at all.
Ya don't know what you're messin' with.
You got no idea.
Ya don't know what you're lookin' at
When you're lookin' here.
Ya don't know what you're up against,
No, no way, no how.
You don't know what you're messin' with,
But I'm gonna tell you now!
Get this straight!
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space
and I'm bad.
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space
and it looks like you been had.
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space,
So get off my back, 'n get out my face,
'Cause I'm mean and green
And I am bad.
Wanna save your skin boy?
You wanna save your hide?
You wanna see tomorrow? (Ha-Ha!)
You better step aside.
Better take a tip boy.
Want some good advice?
Ya better take it easy,
'Cause you're walkin' on thin ice.
Ya don't know what you're dealin' with.
No, you never did.
Ya don't know what you're lookin' at,
But that's tough titty, kid!
The Lion don't sleep tonight,
And if you pull his tail, he roars.
Ya say, "That ain't fair?"
Ya say, "That ain't nice?"
Ya know what I say? "Up yours!"
Watch me now!
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space
And I'm bad.
I'm just a mean green mother, a real disgrace,
And you've got me violent and mad.
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space,
Gonna trash your ass! Gonna rock this place!
I'm mean and green,
And I am bad.
Don't talk to me about old King-Kong.
You think he's the worst? Well, you're thinkin' wrong.
Don't talk to me about Frankenstein.
He got a temper? -HA!- He ain't got mine.
You know I don't come from no black lagoon.
I'm from past the stars and beyond the moon.
You can keep the thing,
Keep the it,
Keep the creature, they don't mean sh*t!
I got garden style, major moves.
I got the stuff, and I think that proves,
You better move it out! Nature calls!
You got the point? I'm gonna bust your balls!
Here it comes!
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space
And I'm bad.
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space
A real hard case. You can't beat this trouble, man.
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space
So just give it up. It's all over, ace.
I'm mean and green.
(Mean green mother from outer space.)
I'm mean and green.
(Mean green mother from outer space.)
I'm mean and green.
(Mean green mother from outer space.)
And I...am...bad!

"Some Fun Now":
Yah yah yah yah, yah yah yah,
Yah yah yah yah, yah yah yah.
Poor Seymour pushed a broom, nothing in his news but
gloom and doom. Then he lit a fuse and
give him room. He started an explosion,
holy cow, that thing which
bang ka-boom, and he's havin' some fun now.
Some fun now (what with?),
what's he havin' some fun now (sure is).
He's a-havin' some fun now (oh boy),
ain't he havin' some fun now,
now! Some fun now! (hot damn),
ain't he havin' some fun now (yes, ma'am).
He's a-havin' some fun now (oh boy),
ain't he havin' some fun now!
Some fun now (hot damn),
ain't he havin' some fun now (yes, ma'am).
He's a-havin' some fun now (oh boy),
ain't he havin' some fun now, now!
Some fun now (what with?),
ain't he havin' some fun now (sure is).
Really havin' some fun now (oh boy),
ain't he havin' some fun now, now!
Some fun now (Good God, the boy.)
he's havin' some fun now. (Oh boy, oh boy.)
Yes, he's havin' some fun now (oh boy),
ain't he havin' some fun now!
Some fun now. Some fun now.
Some fun now. Some fun now.

Posted: 1/4/05 at 2:07pmHere's another Little Shop trivia question. Not sure if this is scripted, but in the original production when Seymour dropped the pots in the first scene, Mushnik used the following Yiddish expression: "Zolst vaksn vi a tzibele mitn kop in dr'erd!" What does it mean?
"Gif me the cobra jool!"

Well, magruder, as my grandmother from Russia would say, "May you grow like an onion with your head in the ground!"
I'm not fluent in Yiddish, but I do know that kop means head...
VERY INTERESTING question, magruder!
