Mean Green Mother from Outer Space
"Mean Green Mother from Outer Space" is a song from the 1986 American horror comedy musical film Little Shop of Horrors, an adaptation of the 1982 stage musical, which is itself an adaptation of the 1960 film The Little Shop of Horrors. Written by the musical's creators, lyricist and book writer Howard Ashman and composer Alan Menken, the song is performed in the film by Audrey II (voiced by singer Levi Stubbs of the Four Tops), a sentient, carnivorous, alien plant that feeds on human blood. Ashman and Menken wrote "Mean Green Mother from Outer Space" specifically for the 1986 film, as a new musical number not present in the stage production. The song was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 59th Academy Awards. It is the first Oscar-nominated song to contain profanity in the lyrics. Stubbs performed the song at the awards ceremony, with the explicit lyrics replaced.
