The Rocky Horror Picture Show : Fav song?

Fav song?

Am I the only one who gives Time warp a meh, but loves some of the other songs?

I really love Superheroes, Rose Tint my World and Science Fiction/Double Feature a lot more than TW.

I'm sure I'm in the minority here but would be interested to hear other opinions.

Oh, and no, I'm not here because of Glee, I caught it on FMC today!

Re: Fav song?

Time Warp is overblown beyond all reason. Rose Tint my World and Science Fiction Double Feature are without a doubt my favorites. Always great to see a new fan, by the way. :)

Re: Fav song?

HOT PATOOTIE IS THE BEST SONG OF ALL TIME

Re: Fav song?

Most of the songs are enjoyable.

My faves are Over at the Frankenstein place and Rose, tint my world.

Re: Fav song?

Hot Patooite bless my soul
Eddie's teddy

Re: Fav song?

It's REALLY difficult to pick faves but here it goes...

Science Fiction/Double Feature, Sweet Transvestite, Planet Schmanet Janet, Wild and Untamed Thing and Eddie's Teddy.

"Love and Peace!"

Glee shouldn't have sang anything!! Don't get me wrong I'm a (somewhat) Glee fan, to an extent - I hate the cliche/stereotypical/cheesy side of it, but they should have left Rocky Horror be!! It's a classic, they got a lot of well deserved backlash for covering too.

Re: Fav song?

I second Lolawoo's comment against Glees's Rocky Horror episode. Bad reviews all around or not, it has appeared to have brought out many new fans to see the movie at home and even attend midnight shows, conventions and these/other RHPS boards. That's the good news, at least. Thing is, for the huge lot that didn't make the leap into the Transylvanian world after only seeing Glee's version and not the movie--either because it didn't entice them enough or they disliked the performances--means the episode failed to some extent. Personally, I say if a proper tribute can be made (i.e, via assistance from original film hands and possible actors, Meatloaf's and Barry Bostwick's cameos notwithstanding), then go for it. Otherwise stop correcting a perfectly working machine!

*ahem*

As for my fav song(s), I would agree that "Time Warp" is a bit overrated as a song, but it's still a blast to dance to in threatres.

"Sweet Transvestite" is a given as is "Hot Patootie (Whatever Happened to Saturday Night)".

"Planet Schmanet" is always fun, too. "Science Fiction/Double Feature" and the entirety of the floor show sequence's music is right up there as well.

Honestly, I like them all but can never pick just one. Plus, my tastes change constantly with my mood...

Re: Fav song?

Thank you, and I forgot Dammit Janet! I say that phrase everyday, and people are like "whaa?"

Re: Fav song?

My favorite Song is Eddie, which appears to be in the minority.

I think you people are making too much out of Glee. I liked it. If you think of it as a remake, then, yes, it was bad. With a one-hour time constraint, they couldn't have done the whole film anyway. Time, also, caused the shortening of what songs they did do. They had to use the Glee cast, so coming up with a Tim Curry was out of the question.

Think of it as a story about a bunch of high-school kids putting on a play. The planning, the side-stories took a lot of time. Personally, I applaud the Glee writers. For a high-school play, it was pretty good.

If you bitched at Glee, I'm sure you'll trash the RHPS remake when it comes out next year. Here a bit of pre-advice: If you don't like it, then don't go to see it.

Re: Fav song?

I would have to watch the movie a couple more times and keep hearing the songs, but my two of my favourites are:

Time Warp
Sweet Transvestite

But my absolute 2 favourite songs in the movie are:

Toucha Toucha Touch Me
Superheroes (This is the best song in the whole movie, I love it).

Re: Fav song?

Dunno why no one mentions the engagement song, thats good, and Wise Up Janet Weiss is great to, for the energy if nothing else.

Re: Fav song?

It's hard for me to pick an absolute favorite, since I love all of them. However, I think "Touch-A Touch-A Touch Me" is my personal favorite. I listen to the soundtrack constantly, and just watched the movie again last night. Here are my favorites:

1. Touch-A, Touch-A, Touch Me
2. Rose Tint My World
3. Superheroes
4. Sweet Transvestite
5. Dammit Janet

Life's a show, and we all play our parts, and when the music starts, we open up our hearts.

Re: Fav song?

Awesome. Substitute 'Science Fiction, Double Feature' for 'Superheroes,' and you've got all my favorites. Those first on the list are super-catchy, and the most well-written ones of the bunch, I think.
Are you a cast 'Janet' by any chance? Because the songs you've picked seem to be ones that most Janets like.

Re: Fav song?

Thanks! No, I've never done the live show. I just love janet's songs, I guess. I almost chose Science Fiction Double Feature myself. :)

Re: Fav song?

I do love The Time Warp, but Sweet T is my favorite song, along with Wild and Untamed Thing and Toucha.

Re: Fav song?

Time warp and sweet transvestite are the best sonds in the whole movie.

Re: Fav song?

As much as I love Time Warp, it is very iconic and catchy, and all the other songs in this movie, Sweet Tranvestite is my favourite. Not just the quotable lyrics, or Tim's singing, but for me one of the most memorable parts of the movie is when Frank-N-Furter throws off his cloak to reveal his drag, both bizarre and mesmerising at the same time.

Re: Fav song?

Definitely - Over at the Frankenstein Place ( it's always been my # 1 favorite ) ! Susan Sarandon ( as Janet ) and Barry Bostwick ( as Brad ) sing it together so perfectly ( like it's own little opera lol ) . Richard O'Brien ( as Riff-Raff ) sings his solo deeply clever ( and a bit sinisterly ) but flawlessly at the same time ( IMPO it's the best way for me to put it lol ) .

Thanks naturboy99 for your subject post .

Re: Fav song?

"Don't Dream It" because everytime I catch the film on TV that's the scene that's on.

Why ain't you at the garden party you heathen?

Re: Fav song?

That's my favourite one too!

There's a ligh-igh-igh-igh-igh-igh-igh-ight...

Absolutely jef, and is perhaps the most random number in the whole film that it made no sense at all lol (even considering the whole film). *beep* amazing!

Re: Fav song?

Really hard to choose! But i say Time Warp!

Re: Fav song?

"Time Warp" and The Deleted Scene ("Once In A While")

Re: Fav song?

Glad to see "Over at the Frankenstein Place" get some love, it's currently my favorite. "Wild and Untamed Thing" frequently rises to the top too just for its punchiness. But it's all-over-the-place as there's so many good songs.

It would probably be more salient to ask which is the least favorite which has been "Once in a while" (since redeemed) and "Touch a..." (mostly because it seems a little unpolished)

Re: Fav song?

Sweet Transvestite and Science Fiction Double Feature all the way. SFDF reminds me of mid 70s Kinks. Notably the album, Sleepwalker. Check it out and see what you think.

Re: Fav song?

Right now "Rose tint my world".

Re: Fav song?

I see your point there "Science Fiction Double Feature" does share the sam setimnet as "Celluloid Heroes", and I caught myself singing it many times so I have Three Favorites.
"Time Warp", "Once In A While", and "Science Fiction Double Feature".

Re: Fav song?

Hot patootie, bless my soul. Sex, drugs and rock and roll.

Re: Fav song?

My favorites are "Sweet Transvestite," "Planet Schmanet Janet" and "Rose Tint My World/Wild and Untamed Thing."

Love,

Notzi

I rather liked "Wild and Untamed Thing" and "Science Fiction / Double Feature".

What do you think this is, a signature? It's a way of life!

Re: Fav song?

My favorite is "Science Fiction Double Feature".

Richard's voice is so ethereal when he sings it <3.

Don't Dream It, Be It - I just LOVE the way it sounds as he is descending the stairs and reaching over himself. Its also just a great quote.

Also

Toucha Toucha Touch Me
I Can Make You a Man (Tim Curry at perfection!!!)
Sweet Transvestite

Re: Fav song?

I like "The Sword of Damocles" and "Planet, Schmanet, Janet" because they were not on the original soundtrack.

Re: Fav song?

Hot Patootie followed by toucha touch me and there's a light

Re: Fav song?

"Over at the Frankenstein Place" (there's a light) is my favorite tune from the film. The chorus was influenced by early 60s girl bands like The Shirelles and The Ronettes

"A naked American man stole my balloons".
An American Werewolf In London

Re: Fav song?

Oh, don't worry about it! :D


I like the Time Warp, but my favorite will always be Science Fiction Double Feature <3.
