Reeka mentioned to me that she found her dad's copy of Rocky Horror Picture Show on VHS. It called to mind fond memories of attending midnight showings at the Highland Village Theater, the Grenada Dinner Theater and hosting home parties. I wax nostalgic and post this video, with stills from the film. Also - the lyrics. Audience yells are in brackets next to the original. Have suggestions? Post 'em in the comments! :)
Hot Patootie (Bless My Soul)
from The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Written by Richard O'Brien
Performed by Meat Loaf as Eddie
Whatever happened to Saturday night?
When you dressed up sharp and you felt all right?
I don't seem the same since cosmic light
Came into my life - I thought I was divine!
I used to go for a ride with a chick who'd go
And listen to the music on the radio
A saxophone was blowin' on a rock 'n roll show
We climbed in the back seat, really had a good ti-ime!
CHORUS: Hot patootie, bless my soul! I really love that rock and roll! [Sex, Drugs and Rock And Roll!] (x4)
My head used to swim from the perfume I smelled
My hands fumbled with her white plastic belt
I'd taste her baby pink lipstick and that's when I'd melt
She'd whisper in my ear tonight she really was mine
Get back in front and put some hair oil on
Buddy holly was singing his very last song
With your arms around your girl, you try to sing along
It felt pretty good-WHOA! Really had a good ti-ime!
CHORUS
CODA: Hot patoo-oo-tie! I really love that rock and roll! [Sex, Drugs and Rock And Roll!](REPEAT TO SONG END)
