“He didn’t have anything unusual there that day
(Nope, da-doo)
So I was just about to, ya know, walk on by (Good for you)
When suddenly,
and without warning, there was this total eclipse of the sun.
It got very dark and then I heard a strange
humming sound, like something
from another world! (Da-doo)
And when the light came back this weird plant was just sitting there
(whoop-see-doo)
Just, you know, stuck in, among the zinnias (Audrey Two)
I coulda sworn it hadn’t been there before,
but the old Chinese man sold it to
me anyways,
for a dollar ninety-five.
(Sha la la, la la la, la la la, doo-doo-doo-doo!)”Rick Moranis and chorus in the Warner Bros./Frank Oz musical comedy Little Shop of Horrors, 1986. Other movies featuring eclipse scenes include Walt Disney’s Fantasia, 1940,
the Columbia Pictures biblical epic Barabbas, 1961(the crucifixion scene was filmed during an actual solar eclipse on February 15th, 1961), and the Stanley Kubrick sci-fi classic
2001: A Space Odyssey, 1968 (click on the underlined links in the titles to view the scenes on YouTube).
