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

[Lightheartedone]

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

I’ve been bending

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Don't dream it.

Be it.

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

Antici..

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

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

Tooucch Toucch Touch me

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

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

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 :)

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

I wanna be diiiirty!

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

.......PATION

(That’s to @OokSaidTheLibrarian)

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

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

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

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

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

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

OP

You need to see the film by order of Mumsnet
