OK, I know I'm right with that one so here's... well, it might not be too easy since this song was cut from teh stage version of this musical but let's see if anyone can get it anyway. As a clue this song was replaced with a fairly similar one, at least in terms of theme.
"And when I saw the awesome torture chamber in that flick. I found I got a hard on, while the other kids got sick."

It sounds like this could have been cut for "Dentist" in "Little Shop," the way you describe it. I don't have a name, though, unless I want to peek on the Internet. So I'll guess that first and see where it takes me.

Heh, yes, it is Little Shop. The song is called 'I Found A Hobby' and I suspect it was cut because it's just a little too crude for the rest of the show. You can get it on the Broadway cast recording that's just been released (featuring the girl who was Penny in the original Hairspray cast as Audrey) along with four or five other cut songs and the full score (including the very different ending from the film version) of the stage show. Well worth getting it actually if onyl for 'A Little Dental Music' which is a lovely song until you listen to the words. I suspected you'd get it Seymour, although I did wonder if you'd actually recognise it already.
You're up again.

Well, it's been the better part of a week, so let me reveal the answer:

Yay, I win!
Here's another one. This one is from my very favorite (semi)current show.
The day we meet, The way you lean against the wind, And do not know that you are beautiful, Or that anyone is watching you, This is what I see.
And I notice how you hunger for surprise, And do not think that you are tall enough, Like you’re standing on a mountainside alone, This is what I see.
Now I see as I have never seen before. Since that moment in the square, When you’re hat is carried in the air, Just so you can chase it, Just so I can be there, This is how I know, This is what I see, This is love to me.

I agree. I liked the song on the Tony Awards so got the CD. It was nice, but I didn't think much of it until I saw the full production on PBS. It's quite lovely.
Here's something from a buzzed-about show:
"And you can teach him plumbing and philosphy "New techniques for glazing pottery "Woodcraft, first aid, home economy "Madam, Adam will be overjoyed!"

That's the title song from The Apple Tree, which I hear is getting a New York revival in the near future.
The song is sung by the Serpent, and has "Forbidden Fruit" as an alternate title.

And the revival is going on right now. It stars a luminous Kristen Chenowith. I got to interview her for an article I did about the revival of "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown," and she's such a nice person. And amazingly talented.
Let us have it, BAM!
