The killer plant from Little Shop Of Horrors resurfaces on Tatooine

The sarlacc, basically a huge, carnivorous pit in the desert with a spiky mouth and a beaked tongue, is one of the more memorable and pivotal characters in 1983’s Star Wars: Episode VI—Return Of The Jedi, and yet it has not inspired a great deal of merchandise or cosplay thus far. There’s not even a Funko bobblehead of the thing yet, and they’ve done bobbleheads of some really obscure, fleeting characters. When Family Guy did its Jedi parody back in 2011, the sarlacc was played by Meg. That’s how unglamorous this role is. What’s the problem here? Maybe what the sarlacc needs is a little more personality and pizzazz. A new mashup from the music and movie parody channel David Unger Music solves that problem neatly. In “Singing Sarlacc Pit,” the role is performed admirably by Audrey II, the all-singing, all-killing plant from Frank Oz’ 1986 musical comedy Little Shop Of Horrors. That means the character’s voice is provided by the late, great Levi Stubbs of The Four Tops. Stubbs is heard here crooning two of his signature numbers from the film: “Feed Me (Git It)” and “Mean Green Mother From Outer Space.”
