Time Warp - Rocky Horror Picture Show


For some reason the subject of men in suspenders came up in class. Hence this clip from the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

You must have heard of the Time Warp! Nobody knew what I was talking about in class the other day.

You'll notice a young Susan Sarandon in this clip.

It's astounding, time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely, not for very much longer
I've got to keep control

I remember doing the TIme Warp
Drinking those moments when
The blackness would hit me and the void would be calling
Let's do the time warp again...
Let's do the time warp again!

It's just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right
With your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane,
Let's do the Time Warp again!

It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me
So you can't see me, no not at all
In another dimension, with voyeuristic intention
Well-secluded, I see all
With a bit of a mind flip
You're there in the time slip
And nothing can ever be the same
You're spaced out on sensation, like you're under sedation
Let's do the Time Warp again!

Well I was walking down the street just a-having a think
When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink
He shook me up, he took me by surprise
He had a pickup truck and the devil's eyes.
He stared at me and I felt a change
Time meant nothing, never would again
Let's do the Time Warp again!

How incredible, I´ve seen this film, in a pub in the center of Madrid!
You can dance and sing and talk with the actors while you´re seeing the film!

Really? Do you have to dress up like the characters in the film too?

I mentioned the RHPS when trying to explain the meaning of "suspenders".

See the comments in Confusing words - concrete to understand how this all started.

you doný dress up, only when you buy the ticked for the show, a dressed up man give you a bag, inside it you´ve confetti, a hat, flavour, serpentines...that you can throw if you don´t like it that you´ve seen. It´s really funny!
you see the show sit down on the floor and the actors are around you, a friend of mine said to me: tonight we´ll go to a theatre! and it was the result!

You see the show SAT on the floor and the actors are around you.
A friend of mine said to me THAT WE WOULD go to THE theatre THAT NIGHT! and THIS was the result!


Your story reminds me of two places. One near Atocha called something like "Tomatin" where you could throw tomatoes at the acts you didn't like. The other near Pza de España was called "Lie down" where you had dinner in bed while actors performed around you.

I wouldn't mind going back to Tomatin because I didn't understand much that time I went.
