"Let's do the Time Warp again!"—I bet if you've never seen or heard the musical or the movie, there's a good chance you've heard of that line mentioned somewhere.
This particular line is from the known and somewhat feared show The Rocky Horror Show, followed by its cult classic film counterpart, The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It's feared partly because of its sexual themes and topics—actually everything the character Dr. Frankenfurter, who's a horny transvestite, stands for. Even though it has upbeat but "seemingly random" songs, they actually have a purpose. Apparently the show is a big satire to how America embraced the wild '60s, Janet showing the side that fell into it and Brad showing the side that still has discomfort and hesitation. For those that have seen the movie/musical, mind is blown right?
My favorite song out of the entire show has to be "Sweet Transvestite" (I think there's an earlier post about this song but it's my favorite one to date and I've been rediscovering it recently so I'm talking about it now). But I'll post my second favorite, Hot Patootie! (Sorry the quality sucks.)
