I was born in 74'. My dad was a grip/lighting guy. The entire cast signed a personalized vinyl double record. Cover denotes Columbia with a nice fold out. The best part was congratulations on the new baby. Thanks Tim, Susan and the entire Cast. Love you guys. Love the show.

A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, God said "Let there be lips!". And there were. And they were good.

[@broadwaygirl1639]

Sing to us Lips

[@Naminski1a]

That's the tagline from Star Wars.

[@taffyindahouse]

Actually, that's the saying that people chant as the lips appear in the beginning of the movie... if you ever go to a movie theater and watch it with a cast that acts it out.

[@danieldaniels7571]

I love how the text is written in blood like many a horror flick, but everything else in this little segment has an air of "but what if it's ketchup?" followed by an unexplained lenny face.

[@larrymoran_THE_CODGER]

June 28, 2022 - This song came to mind for no apparent reason like a number of other songs have from past decades in my life at the age now of 80. I've seen The Rocky Horror Picture Show at least six times starting in 1975 by myself at the landmark Waverly Theater in New York's Greenwich Village. Next, I said to my friend "You've got see this!", and saw it with him. After that, over a span of eight years, I went four other times with four different female friends. When I first saw the film there were just a few people at its midnight showing. By the last time I saw it with a friend in New Rochelle, New York. The audiences had grown to the point of taking over the theater, and the full blown party atmosphere complete with sing a-longs, props from the film, and water guns. Had become part of viewing the film. Frankly, the song makes me kind of sad and nostalgic now, because I saw all of the original movies mentioned in the song as a child. I still have my VHS cassette copy of the film, and the original soundtrack Vinyl LP record also. 💖😊 "Peace out" to all of my fellow fans of the song, the film, and the actors in the cast.👍👍 Stay well.😊

[@AmaterasuSolar]

I cannot say the number of times I have seen it. Used to go to midnight shows and toss rice... 66 now, I am.

[@josephcampo143]

Ha. I was a 'virgin' when I saw this in Greenwich Village, must have been late 70s or early 80s. Must have been the theater you mentioned. Midnight show, packed. Costumes, characters. Went with friend and his brother. What a hoot! That was the only time I'd seen it until recently in Reno NV where a SFO-based group acted it out. Excellent audience. No rice - they used poppers. But toilet paper. No water pistols, just newspaper on heads. I'm 67 now and it brought back great memories. I hope this tradition continues - it's needed now more than ever.

[@TimeTheory2099]

@ larry... How can you call your self a fan? I saw RHPS at least six times in theaters from 75 through the 80's. Then I got the VHS. Then the DVD. Every Halloween, my friends and I get stoned & waisted. Watching RHPS and other old sci-fi movies.

[@Halpin2006]

This is my favorite part of the whole movie. I like the song, the original idea, and the way it introduces the story. I think this idea came from a much earlier play, where the entire story is narrated and displayed only by a talking mouth. At each cult film showing of this, the host always says "LET THERE BE LIPS!"

[@DblC3]

It's a lovely homage to the classic sci-fi films of the fifties and sixties.

[@9012505]

It's amazing that this was released in 1975 and it is still showing once a month at midnight a few miles from my home.

[@Eduard000F]

i didn't know what to expect from this film, because i dont tend to watch to many musical films but this intro is epic and the film its a jewel!!!

[@apollosolo1582]

Easily one of the crazy dates I've ever been on. 1983, 12am in Greenidge Village, NY. This is one of the few opening movie credits that actually enhance the theme. Anyone old enough to have seen this movie during this time and all the madness going on during the show, including actors reenacting the movie right in the theater, will agree, it's an experience like no other. I guess that's why its' a cult classic Thanks for the posting.

[@dundy7845]

I've never been to a midnight screening, but I still appreciate the movie for its impact on pop culture. Pretty much everyone knows what this movie is, if not that at least the time warp dance. I first saw the movie when I was 15 years old and was pretty obsessed with it for a while until I decided that my little honeymoon with it was over and ignored it for quite a few years. But watching it again recently, my perspective on the movie has changed. I mainly look at it as a tribute to 1950s Sci-fi and B horror movies in sort of a twisted way. I really like the look of the film itself, you can automatically tell that the movies budget was really low with the cheap looking sets and stuff but it adds to the charm.

[@averykevin47]

There really is no remake intended for this movie. Hollywood doesn't wanna keep anything original anymore and that's shameful.

[@fabiennefeloidea4753]

dont worry, nothing beats the original, if its the orignal ghostbusters or the original rocky horry picture show...fuck....why do i want to watch the original rocky horror picture show right now?

[@rurugby]

It was just fun, and makes you realize how great the original movie is and how underrated it is.

[@ewatkins493ify]

I'm sorry, I'm unclear as to whether you're trolling or not as your comment completely contradicts itself. They won't do a remake of RHPS but Hollywood is against keeping anything original?

[@athing8846]

I remember the first time watching this with my best friend when we were 13. We were too young to completely understand what was going on at the time but regardless we loved it And to this day we still get together a few times a year to watch it.

[@jwhiteout]

Possibly the most romantic song ever recorded.

[@oscarclarke2653]

If you didn't know, Richard O'Brien (Riff Raff) wrote and performed this song for this intro... Oh yes, he also wrote the entirety of The Rocky Horror Show.

[@diddodi]

Thank you very much!!!❤

[@barrymoore4470]

It's O'Brien's voice we hear, but the lips belong to actress Patricia Quinn, who plays Magenta in the film. In the original stage version, a character named the Usherette performed this opening number, and Patricia Quinn originated that role as well as the role of Magenta.

[@lou5226]

Still tops after all these years.

[@princessmarlena1359]

I remember going to these movie theater events, wearing the costumes (I usually went as Columbia, with Magenta as my backup), shouting the cadences at the cues, and the squirt guns from the “dark and stormy night” line.

[@ianrhodes6928]

'I'm gonna give you some terrible thrills...' Perfect listening for Halloween.

[@mikeallen6077]

The opening scene and song, "Science Fiction/Double Feature", consists of the lips of Patricia Quinn (who appears in the film later as the character Magenta), but has the vocals of actor and Rocky Horror creator, Richard O'Brien (who appears as Magenta's brother Riff Raff).

[@popaandreea7596]

That awkward moment when you realize this song is sung by a guy. Yes, Richard O'Brien (the director; Riff Raff). The red lips in the background belong to Patricia Quinn (Magenta).

[@Starkardur]

this doesn't sound like a female voice

[@Flood520]

I mean, it kind of does. Maybe not compared to Rush or AC/DC, but kind of.

[@Gorthaurrockatansky]

Weirdly enough, the first time I saw the movie years ago with no knowing of the actors in it, just that Tim Curry was in it and I knew his singing voice well enough. When the song first came on, I was like 'Oh, wait, this sounds like a woman.... oaky, so, I guess it is not all cross-dressy stuff.' But fair enough, listening to THIS audio version (similar to the DVD), it sounds distinctly more male (not saying masculine). My first copy was a very old VHS, and MANY of the songs are subtly different sounding (cleared up, cleaned up, and maybe even different recording for Rocky's voice?) . Listening to RHPS on crystal clear DVD the first time, like this, I was like 'Hmm, if I had heard this version the first time, I would have guessed it was a man.'

[@Gorthaurrockatansky]

Made me love it even more.

[@teaspoon5476]

[@moshomaniac1]

+High Priestess Athena Druid Yeah, it was to capture the picture's androgenous tone from the very beginning. Great song, funny movie.

Who else realizes that Fox's version was meant as a tribute basically meaning fans of the original wanted to be apart of that universe by making their own version. Then people took a big shit on it, people that couldn't realize it was never meant to be on the level of the original or even better just to be something different. My God I loved both versions, but really some people need to stop taking shits on peoples hard work

[@loothunters8113]

Awwww...poor babies. That's life. You try and some like it and others don't. The remake was a tragedy. Not for any one crime, though there were many; But generally precisely because the remake was not intended to do anything but exploit the cult status of the original for financial gain, while totally wiping out any appeal to the freaks of the world like myself. As a twenty year veteran of the original theater experience, with costumes and call and response, the new one made me throw up in my mouth a little.
