Rocky Horror Show - Once in a While

yes u do u look like Sleeping Beauty!

[@tiffanystewart9265]

i love u frank u rule!

[@zombreighapocalypse]

I like this song, and I love Rocky Horror, but I can see why they took this out. All the other songs are pretty upbeat and fit with the movie while this just kind of...doesn't fit with the movie. It's not the style of the movie.

[@dumbunny8128]

This is my first time seeing this scene, and I feel that this scene would have been valuable to keep in the movie. In delivering a mea culpa here, Brad is taking agency for his unfaithfulness, as opposed to in the original movie, which makes Frank the sole antagonist. Frank N. Furter, as a predatory "trans-sexual" trope, is considered the most problematic aspect of the movie; keeping this scene would have changed this do a degree.

[@broadwaygirl1639]

I love how Frank sleeps. So adorable

[@karim2324]

Man, Barry has a really good voice lol. You can't really tell in the other Rocky songs.

[@superstitiouscoconut5099]

You can kinda tell in "Rose Tint My World"

[@littlesongbird1]

@@superstitiouscoconut5099 True but having him do this song as a solo you can really tell.

[@SecretTimeWarp]

To anyone asking "Why did they take this out?" You haven't been to a showing WITH this song intact. The pace of the movie screams to a halt, and no one in the audience knows callbacks for it.... it's just a bit painful to sit through. :-P

[@taylortw1tch237]

SecretTimeWarp it all depends on the crowd. The group I'm with did rhps again, but included the song this year. A lot of the people who attended didn't know it, but loved it. It might've been because our Brad put a bit more power into it, but with this, I can see why.

[@lillymsf5946]

Yea but like Over at the Frankenstein Place it's not TOO long nor is it too boring its more a break from the crazy stuff. Plus i'd have loved to see what the audience participation would've been like for this song

[@iammontecristo]

"Once In Awhile" is actually one of my favorites in Rocky Horror Picture Show

[@MezzoSoprano01]

I love this song. I also love the way that he's singing about Janet cheating on him just after he's slept with Frank X-D

[@lilliangriffin9013]

The problem with Brad is, that he thinks that if Janet apologizes to him, if she still loves him, than everything will be alright again.That was his biggest mistake, he was too hopeful for his own good. Because of Brad's hopefulness and black and white outlook, these things led him to nowhere but confusion and fear.

[@dumbunny8128]

Brad isn't singing about Janet cheating on him, he's talking about what he just did. Brad doesn't know that Janet's had any yet. Right before this scene: Brad: "Why you - what have you done with Janet?" Frank: "Nothing. Why do you think I should?"

[@dickrichard3130]

@@dumbunny8128 but how's he singing about what he just did

[@dancingcheeseproductions4127]

Verse in Frankenstein Place cut. This cut. Does nobody like Barry Bostwick? xD

[@daza2j96]

It's a perfect scene! Frank sleeping on the bed behind Brad... dang, that in itself is great. And that cigarette looks so good....

[@FIVER111]

Every time I listen to that song I have to start crying again because the day I heard it for the first time I lost my great love and most likely will not get it back again ever. So this song reminds me of how deep it hurt but still leaves a tiny little piece of hope in my heart that "someday he will phone my place and it will be OK". If somehow YOU read it, please think it over twice.

[@samoliver9890]

I understand why this was omitted, but it is without doubt my favourite song from Rocky Horror

[@littlesongbird1]

Yes it worked well with the stage version but in the film it just kind of seemed out place and slowed it down.

[@charleswagner8187]

We all NEED this in the theater!!!!!! The LONGER the move... The Happier we all can be to be in the movie to yell at the scream!!!!!!!!

[@klstehn]

I love this song! First time I heard it at a stage production everyone went nuts! I had a serious Brad-crush for a time, this song of his didn't exactly aid my recovery ;-)

[@Elric33239]

@moombalink That's interesting. I would have interpreted it as an indication that Brad was losing interest in Janet after being with Frank, as in there's more adventures in this world than he thought, and he had more options to explore. An offset to Janet's "Toucha Toucha Touch Me" where she sang "I've tasted blood and I want more!" I guess this film is like any art form: two people can look at it and walk away with different impressions of what they saw.

[@Retrohub166]

@TODDETT4EVER you can also get the dvd which is. the rocky horror picture show special 2 dic edition, which has basically everything including this!

[@_Spy_]

Frank is so cute in the background. I was staring at him the whole time XD!

[@jayanxiety]

This actually was released as part of the feature in the limited release "Special Edition" of the film on VHS. This cut is actually quite rare and has never appeared on DVD or shown on TV.

[@HealthyDisrespectforAuthority]

wow.. I did not know that and I have one of those tapes.. still still sealed.. no clue where a VCR might be though.

[@broadwaygirl1639]

2:20 Awww Frank's so cute when he sleeps in that part

[@Broadwaygirl918]

2:20 Awww, I love when Frank sleeps in this part. So adorable!

[@cindylard3071]

Proof songs bought that are really great end up on the edit floor. Wow. I had not heard this until now but it should be out there to listen to for whomever wrote it.

[@greymajickjedi]

This STILL gives me goosebumps. i'm just glad in no longer makes me weep uncontollably.

[@goughfamily]

This song in the stage version at the Stratford Festival, sung by Sayer Roberts, was absolutely unbelievable and had the audience screaming and cheering.

[@lynnmcveigh8781]

What a beautiful song. Barry Bostwick is so good looking in this movie. I wish this song was in the movie

[@RockinRobin411]

I think that when the narrator in the play says that only the heart can solve this problem and then Brad sings it, implying that this song is from his heart, works. However, it wouldn't work in the film.

[@spoonz89]

i haven't heard this song since i was like 9 or 10. i can't believe i still remember some of it

[@colbertnation401]

I wondered why this wasn't in the movie... I love this song!

[@Ravensclaw123]

Which is such a shame! It's one of the best!!!! :(

[@raniwasacyborg]

It took me far too many times just watching this and loving it to notice that Brad's bed appears to be a single bed. Which is now completely taken up by Frank. Clearly he's reached cat-like levels of deviousness by this point!

[@fRo0tLo0p]

Love this song. Never knew about it until I did the play professionally. Wish they'd kept it in the movie.

[@KrustyRox]

hehe same. He's pretty :P I'm glad this song isn't in the movie!

[@TootsieMonsterx3]

haha i find it adorable (: i love to watch him sleep in the background in this video xD

[@egglady]

I love this video... wish it had been included in the final cut of the film. It's a great song!

[@JNT737]

I never seen this part thank you i love the song it's so sweet

[@tortisesoup465]

"Once in a While" was used in the stage show, but for some unknown reason, director Jim Sharman decided to cut it from the film. It's a beautiful song, just the same.

[@marshmellowmeltedass]

I love frank just snoozing on the bed.

[@jamestravers6665]

Could this song be a reference to Brad's new found bi-curiousity / bisexuality?

[@JohnDoe-xf8ew]

I think it's about Brad regretting what he did with Frank and hoping that Janet will forgive him.

[@Luvcatz88]

Thank you!

[@jkeegan154]

I never understood why this song was deleted.

[@eggsaladyummy]

+DaFuq I think the Brad just sucked at singing tbh

[@jkeegan154]

Margaret Mae Pomeroy Susan Sarandon did have a better voice.

[@eggsaladyummy]

+StabbingPrivateMellish Yeah but Brad didnt

[@TooCooFoYou]

+DaFuq So that explains why Frank was whipping Riff-Raff. I thought it was because he let Rocky go.

[@rogerdingleberry7541]

Doesn't really fit the rest of the movie.

[@foolonthehill514]

I actually love this song. :)

[@madhatterx25x]

oh ok. thank you :D i've only seen clips here and there so I was really confused what it was about.

[@somethinsuavetheater]

It was originally released on the Laserdisc version of the movie with Superheros as a deleted scene. Then they put it on a VHS after the movie. Then all of the anniversary DVD/Blu-ray releases have it. So its quite common to find

[@dextrosien]

This song is so gorgeous. I prefer the 74 Roxy version, but this one is good too. I would LOVE to hear Richard O'Brien sing it though.

[@RosemaryBats]

This scene only comes on the 2-disc special edition. The 2-disc versions aren't being made anymore, but I got a very good used copy on Amazon.

[@vaineratom7739]

I can understand this being removed to trim run time , but I think it would still be worth including.

[@StaceyMitchellx]

The moans he makes during the song are the sexiest noises ever.

[@stevekohler9481]

Thanks. I never saw that before.

[@Bogframe]

You're lucky. He's Lucky. I'm lucky. We're all lucky, ha ha ha ha ha!!!

[@EdwardJacobDiggory17]

Oh this is great! I've literally been searching everywhere for deleted scenes :)

[@zoyiacatching7823]

I wish I was Brad laying in bed with Tim if you know what I mean😉😉😉

[@monicaanastasiadis6468]

tim is lying so so still in the background for such a long time

[@thesharpestofthorns___9132]

(monica anastasiadis But there's no denying you'd want to be there with him haha.)

[@josephharold808]

I found out about this song in a Rocky Horror q&a at my university where Barry Bostwick mooned the Tennessee room!

[@SweeneyTodd22495]

Wow, I like it. Wish it had been in the movie!

[@colbertnation401]

aww, I love sword of damocles!

[@raymonsoco]

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

[@savaiges]

I still feel bad that this was cut and Brad's part in Over at the Frankenstein Place.

[@valeweathers]

what was his part in Frankenstein place?

[@i_am_zagreus]

+Jordan Patriarca he has a verse. Listen to the Rocky Horror Show version (The original London one is the best IMO) to hear it

[@Ribena1500]

Thank you sooooooooooooooooo much I love you!

[@daza2j96]

I heard they were also debating on deleting "Over at the Frankenstein Place". Hah, I probably read it somewhere here on this page. I couldn't choose between the two, that's for sure! (cut "Sword of Damocles" of you want to cut one out....)

[@puvnk]

this is my favourite song off the ost

[@k24601]

If I remember correctly you can also find this song on a special edition of the VHS version. I have the 25th anniversary or whatever DVD set and a VHS version of this movie. *giggles*

[@carnright]

amazing song!

[@xemoorex]

I love you Brad.

[@Skablam0793]

I love this...I'm sad that they cut it though, that sux...Long live Barry Bostwick!

[@David-mg1yj]

Thanks for posting

[@benkindelstudios]

@aliwiener Normally, movie directors have to remove certain things from a movie that either, 1.) don't belong, or 2.) don't push the story forward.

[@JollyOrangeEntertainment]

i love this song

[@RedHotBarabajagal]

I first heard this song on the broadway soundtrack and wasn't impressed. This version though is a lot better in my opinion. Glad it finally came out.

[@innuendo141]

Great song

[@TODDETT4EVER]

wow i have to find this vhs lol

[@TODDETT4EVER]

which dvd did you buy to get all these features?

[@horrorjunkie92]

@tom3015 Yes, I couldn't imagine this being in the film today. I read your comment in Dr Scott's voice for some reason haha.

[@greymajickjedi]

Yeah it was on mine too. i think it was like the 25th anniversary edition or something.

[@Becca5002]

OMFG! THANKU!

[@mexicanelf]

Go watchit ...or better yet, go look up a shadow cast version of it in your city and see it. It's a great experience, I'm in a cast

[@daza2j96]

I almost cried when I saw Janet looking at the monitor and crying :(

[@Iamnothomophobic]

I've never understoof why they would cut the second-best song int he whole damn show.

[@thorfinna]

I got it on the 25th anniversary DVD

[@wumblium]

Can't understand why this lovely song was deleted from the movie.

[@CherryHavoc]

Judging by the editing, I'm guessing they recorded the audio but never filmed it. If this is the footage they actually intended use, I'm glad they decided to cut it.

[@mcrfan918273645]

They should have kept this in the movie!

[@bluesun7777]

Dear Gods, Barry Bostwick.

[@Bogframe]

My guess is that they filmed it all, but lost some of the footage and filled it in with the flashback montage.

[@msarisoy1]

[@elisaJGRP]

Now they have to explain me why the hell did they delete this wonderful song.

[@ponypony405]

haha funny stuff it should hav been in the movie

[@shameraisins]

Why do I find it hilarious that Frank is just sleeping there in the background?

[@nancytoxic9023]

it's a really pretty song but I imagine the pacing being thrown out if it was kept in, it works perfectly as a bonus track to the soundtrack though to be honest

[@elisaJGRP]

Hahahahahahahahahahhaha I love you xD

[@bongoslide]

i have the play LP and i find it a better song never new why they cut it after all janett had her song

[@amberdragon8]

I like Franks expression in 2:25

[@RossStern]

what is this VHS you speak of?

[@Tayann33]

They should have kept this! It makes the movie make a bit more sense! lol :)

[@EmilieMurmurs]

Personally, I enjoy this song, although I can sort of see why they might've deleted this, it's more like an extra, rather then being important to the plot (though one could use the same argument for one or two of the other tracks?!?) Also, perhaps, the editors felt that this song, or it's sentiment, changed the entire feeling of the movie...?!? Regardless, I think it illustrates Barry Bostwick's singing voice very nicely *grins*

[@suneeleestride]

@TODDETT4EVER i got the 2 disk special edition

[@watchensee]

Is that really Barry singing?
