One day as Seymour is seeking a new mysterious plant, he finds a very mysterious unidentified plant which he calls Audrey II. The plant seems to have a craving for blood and soon begins to sing for his supper.

'Less I open a vein

Ugh.

I'll give you a few drops

If that'll appease

Oh, please

Oh, oh, oh, please

Grow for me

W-S-K-I-D

Skid Row radio

You're listening

to radio station WSKID, home of the hits.

In just a few minutes we'll bring you

Wink Wilkinson's Weird World...

...the show that talks to wonderful people

who bring in their weird things.

But first, the weather.

Thank you very much, Tom.

The weather today will be partly cloudy

with a chance of rain. Sorry about that.

The high temperature

will be in the low 50s tonight...

...so get out those electric blankets.

Tomorrow we'll start off with morning haze...

- Excuse me. I was told to come...

- Yeah, you're next.

MAN:

High tomorrow should be in the low 70s...

...with the low in the high 60s.

In the suburbs, the sun should be out

through most of the day...

...except for some cloudy patches

in the evening...

...but I don't think it'll affect your barbecue.

The barometer reading should be 21.6.

The wind will be about...

...uh, I'd say 12 miles per hour...

...so watch it out there on those boats.

The sun will be rising tomorrow

at about 7:
17 a. M...

...and it should be setting around 6:29 p.m.,

but check me if I'm wrong.

A cold front is moving in from the southwest.

But it should brighten up by noon.

The weekend should be mild.

For you average-mean-temperature fans...

...the average mean temperature

for the season is 69 degrees, not too bad.

Thank you, and back to you.

MAN:

You're listening to radio station WSKID.

And now, Wink Wilkinson's Weird World,

with your host, Wink Wilkinson.

Hi everybody! It's Weird Wink Wilkinson,

laughing and scratching at you.

How's everybody doing today?

I got a bit of a stiff neck.

Let me fix this up.

Ooh, that feels a lot better!

I got a great show for you today...

...with some wonderful weird stuff!

What are you doing here?

What? You... Please, lady, no!

Put your clothes back on!

You can't do this to me!

What if your husband were to walk in?

I'm here. I love your show...

...but I've got to kill you

with this machine gun.

Oh, you got me!

I feel... I feel so very weird!

Our first guest is a young man...

...you probably read about in the newspapers,

by the name of, um...

Seymour Krelborn. Is that correct?

Who has discovered a new breed of plant

hitherto unknown on this planet.

Let me play you down to your seat, Seymour.

Hello, Seymour!

Um...

Hello, Wink.

I wish you folks at home could see this.

Seymour, where did you get such a weird plant?

Well, you remember that total eclipse

of the sun about a week ago?

Thus we conclude

our interview with the young botanical...

- Mind if I call you a genius?

Howard Ashman

Howard Elliott Ashman (May 17, 1950 – March 14, 1991) was an American playwright and lyricist. He collaborated with Alan Menken on several works and is most widely known for several animated feature films for Disney, for which Ashman wrote the lyrics and Menken composed the music. Ashman and Menken began their collaboration with the musical God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater (1979), for which Ashman directed and wrote both book and lyrics. Their next musical, Little Shop of Horrors (1982) for which Ashman again directed and wrote both book and lyrics, became a long-running success and led to a 1986 feature film. The partnership's first Disney film was The Little Mermaid (1989), followed by Beauty and the Beast (1991). After his death, some of Ashman's songs were included in another Disney film, Aladdin (1992). more…
