To have been doing The Time Warp wrong all this time?

I thought it was ‘bend your knees in time’ but it’s not ... it’s ‘bring your knees in tight’

I’ve been bending Blush

There are bars I won’t be able to visit again out of sheer embarrassment.

I'm afraid it IS 'in tight'. If you watch that bit in the Rocky Horror Show you'll see they all turn their toes and knees inwards at that point!

FuzzyPuffling · 05/10/2019 19:00

It could be worse. Imagine if you'd been doing YMCA wrong (as a friend of mine admitted last week)

chomalungma · 05/10/2019 19:00

It's just a jump to the left
And a step to the right
You put your hands on your hips
And bring your knees in tiiiiight

But it's the pelvic thrust
that really drives you insane

Let's do the Time Warp again.

Love Rocky Horror Grin

Oh Op Shock I’ve been doing the same!! Why did no one tell us?!

Blush all those times I’ve been singing the wrong words...

ScreamingValenta · 05/10/2019 19:05

It's so dreamy ... oh, fantasy free me, so you can't see me ... no, not at all.

BlessedBeTheFruitCake · 05/10/2019 19:05

I also thought it was bend your knees in time.
But I though it was called time walk so I'm am even bigger numptyBlush

Shelby30 · 05/10/2019 19:06

I thought the same and I sing those words 😂 I'm going to pretend I did not find this thread 🙈

TyneTeas · 05/10/2019 19:06

Don't dream it.

Be it.

chomalungma · 05/10/2019 19:07

So come up to the lab and see what's on the slab
I see you shiver with antici...pation
But maybe the rain isn't really to blame
So I'll remove the cause, but not the symptom

OokSaidTheLibrarian · 05/10/2019 19:07

Antici..

onanothertrain · 05/10/2019 19:07

I'm pretty sure that in bars where the time warp is done no one gives a shit Grin

hazell42 · 05/10/2019 19:08

What did you think Charles Gray was doing?
That's a very funny way to bend your knees!
Plus, time in no way rhymes with right
For penance, you need to watch the film again
Or, even better, go and see the live show. Now you know the RIGHT words you can belt it out without fear

chomalungma · 05/10/2019 19:08

Tooucch Toucch Touch me

roundtable · 05/10/2019 19:09

So many people do Grease Lightning wrong too. Moving their arms outwards instead of inwards. Heathens!

chomalungma · 05/10/2019 19:11

Well that's my soundtrack sorted for tonight...

Lovestonap · 05/10/2019 19:11

I've never seen the film or the show. I have done the time warp dance many times and always bended my knees in time. I too am going to pretend this thread doesn't exist :)

Celebelly · 05/10/2019 19:12

YAB horrendously U. At least you know now and can change your ways.

ScreamingValenta · 05/10/2019 19:13

I wanna be diiiirty!

Iwantacookie · 05/10/2019 19:15

It's one of those songs where the artists sing it wrong every single time Wink

NationMcKinley · 05/10/2019 19:16

.......PATION

(That’s to @OokSaidTheLibrarian)

Lightheartedone · 05/10/2019 19:18

I have to confess I’ve never seen the film so I think this might have been my downfall here.

I’m SO GLAD it wasn’t just me and there are others to share this feeling with Grin

I'd love to know what you think of the song without having seen the film Grin

Elieza · 05/10/2019 19:24

Think this thread is becoming...lost in time, lost in space. And meaning!
Ha ha. Rocky Horror quote, from the very end. Couldn’t resist. May dig my dvd out tonight now you come to mention it Grin

You really have to see the RH show OP. It’s amazing.

Likethebattle · 05/10/2019 19:24

So many people do Auld Lang Syne wrong. You DO NOT cross your arms until the first chorus. Start off with arms uncrossed!

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 05/10/2019 19:25

OP

You need to see the film by order of Mumsnet
