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.

Some of the press had to apologise to the Queen after the millennium as she was doing it correctly. If anyone knows etiquette....

Of course, if Janet were ever to post her issues on MN, it would be an interesting thread........

Fucking earworm now firmly in residence, you bastards Angry

notacooldad · 05/10/2019 19:28

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

ScreamingValenta · 05/10/2019 19:31

if Janet were ever to post her issues on MN ...

AIBU - My fiancé has just cheated on me with a bloke we were staying with. Even worse, I cheated on my fiancé with the same man! AIBU to think our relationship is doomed? We only got engaged yesterday!

I’ve seen the live show twice. Jonathan Rhys Meyers (going back years now) corpsed badly in Glasgowand have the audience the finger, he said ‘my lips were wet...’ a bloke in the audience shouted ‘which lips?’ The audience were in hysterics, the cast were trying so hard not to laugh.

chomalungma · 05/10/2019 19:35

I saw Jason Donovan as Frank N Furter a long time ago.

Love the live show

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 05/10/2019 19:36

Janet, Dr Scott, Janet, Brad, Rocky...

Blatherskite · 05/10/2019 19:40

I find at the live shows, it tends to be "put your hands on your tits" Grin

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 05/10/2019 19:40

Christopher Biggins is in the original Time Warp scene. I’ve only just noticed (watched it because of this thread)

TarquinGyrfalcon · 05/10/2019 19:41

I thought at likethebattle's post was referring to the queen doing the time walk
I was imagining HRH bringing her knees in tight
Grin

I said "Hey, listen to me!
Stay sane inside insanity"
But he locked the door and threw away the keys

NationMcKinley · 05/10/2019 19:45

Best film of all time ever

Likethebattle · 05/10/2019 19:47

@TarquinGyrfalcon I bet the queen does the time warp properly x

Lightheartedone · 05/10/2019 19:50

@Likethebattle don’t you join hands when it says ‘and here’s a hand’? Or am I doing that wrong too?

It wouldn’t surprise me at this point.

I thought the same! I had no idea until now!

foxatthewindow · 05/10/2019 19:58

As a child/teen I thought it was the ‘velvet glove’ that really drove you insane Grin

MashedSpud · 05/10/2019 20:16

Anthony Head was Frankenfurter when I went to see it and Nicholas Parsons was Dr Scott.

Love Rocky Horror.

MrsMoastyToasty · 05/10/2019 20:39

DH made Jason Donovan and the rest of the cast corpse. When the line about Eddie getting in with the wrong crowd is said my husband shouted "Actors!".

Josephinebettany · 05/10/2019 21:02

Oh no I've been bending my knees in time too Blush

whitetoblerone · 05/10/2019 21:43

Bend your knees in time sounds better Shock
I was today years old when I realised I had been singing the words wrong all my life Grin

UrkStarkadder · 05/10/2019 21:46

Oh fucks sake OP! I thought it was that too. I was blissful in my ignorance, don’t ruin it .

TwatCat · 05/10/2019 21:49
Shock No!!!! I refuse to believe this!!! I've only ever bent my knees in time!!!
70isaLimitNotaTarget · 05/10/2019 21:55

DH and I went to see the Rocky Horror Stage Show last week, most of the audience dressed up, really good night Grin

We used to watch the film in the late 80s in Glasgow , back in the days when they used really manky cinemas that you coud take the water sprays , the toast (I'd like to propose a toast) the cards , the rice for the wedding etc,

I took my torch for the Liiiiiiight , over at the Frankenstein place

gostiwooz · 05/10/2019 22:03

...sings lalalala at high volume oh well in that case, turn the telly on, its La La Land on BBC2 Grin
