There's A Light (Over At The Frankenstein Place)

(c) 20th Century Fox

[@tassiered]

Riff Raff's solo is probably the single biggest highlight of this film for me.

[@belindarios7887]

LOL

[@followthewizard359]

Yeah, screw those two idiots outside, they don't know anything!😄

[@79Paulie]

tassiered totally agree 👍🏼

[@therealgaviano2]

agreed! I've always loved that bit!

[@stobbi38]

thats where i fell in love with his voice...

[@ejl423]

The most underrated of the RHPS songs.

[@gatchywatchyentertainmentb2090]

I truly agree

[@questionblock8949]

Yeh i reckon this is my favourite song from the movie. Beautiful music, lyrics, vocals.. too good!

[@tiannaboo222]

um i know right??

[@keiraroberts2113]

Okay, for real, Riff Raff’s verse is the most beautiful part of this whole musical.

[@kickitot]

His voice is amazing

[@makyeebon]

Agree, it gets me every time!

[@KidaMilo89]

Richard O'Brien had great falsettos

[@joniharris9296]

Word.

[@krizzkaos4983]

Nah the part where he busts in during the floor show is the most epic. "You're mission is a failure; you're lifestyle's too extreme"

Yes

Riff Raff's solo has been stuck in my head for so many years! The music in this film is genius

[@elkezimmermann2720]

I Love it

[@naturalnashuan]

Me too.! I've had the soundtrack stolen from me in a both a car break-in and a house beak-in. They can't steal the internet though.

The darkness must go down the river of nights dreaming Flow morphia slow, let the sun and light come streaming Into my life, into my life.

[@faithferguson8535]

I like the lyrics u made of riff raff solo

[@tylercooper9233]

Flow Morpheus Slow! Morpheus is the Greek name for the God of dreams... but otherwise thanks for lyrics... it is 'nights dreaming' (i thought it was my dreaming) and i think you're right that it is sun and light, not sunlight! Ty

[@tb8651]

@@tylercooper9233 No, it's Morphia. The song is an obvious reference to Morphine/Opiates. Break it down; "The darkness" - Opium/heroin often came in a brown powered or black tar form. The Darkness could also refer to a mood or mind frame. "must go down the river" - Turned to a liquid for IV use. The flow into the blood stream or river. River's also facilitate a voyage or change. Also,prior to IV use it was primarily used in a liquid to take orally. "of nights dreaming" - Opiates often referred to as being dream like, causing dream like states or producing intense dreams. "Flow Morphia" - Again, IV use and the transition of one place to another. The flow into a dream.... Morphine - Morphia - Morpheus. Also consumption in relation to flow. "Morphia slow" - The lyric produces a sound by holding the S to sound like "MorpheussSslow". Morpheus the Greek God of dreams, the name sake of Morphine. The slow fade, slide or float into a dream or morphine high. "let the sun and light streaming into my life." - Anyone who has taken opiates can relate to the slow warm feeling that creeps over ones chest. The relation of sun and light causing elation in ones self with that of the high of opium/morphine. Link to the Script: www.rockymusic.org/showdoc/rhs-1970s-script.php Here is Richard O'Brien singing it. He clearly sings, "Flow Morphiaa Sssslow" kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6KoYYGjZ6l6ac0 Rocky Horror is a reflection of the era it is made in. Sex, Drugs, Rock-n-Roll was the slogan of the 70's after all. This story is about Finding one's self, being different, acceptance, indulgence, over indulgence, etc... In all that what is often forgotten is the references to drugs throughout the story. In this instance, Opium/Heroin/Morphine, which were prevalent in the late 60's and 70's largely due to our involvement in the Vietnam War. Remember, right before this song Brad and Janet are in the car and over the radio President Richard Nixon can be heard giving his resignation speech from 1974. While I'm sure that was not used or meant as a direct correlation to Vietnam and heroin crisis to follow, it shows a sign of the times. One incidentally that the writer, Richard O'Brien, was opposed to. As he later said playing that recording dated the movie while he wanted the movie to be timeless.

[@tylercooper9233]

@@tb8651 Okay, I stand corrected... thanks for explaining :)

[@Music4allofU]

I love this movie just as much as when I went to it in the theaters in the 70's when it was a huge audience participation movie. Everyone dressed like characters from the movie and performed the tracks as well during the movie. It was something to see and enjoy.

[@mattyqueen3655]

Music4allofU Video Productions they still do.

[@Corninthesky]

Yeah just went to a shadow cast on Saturday, can confirm people still do this.

[@somethingtodowithcat]

my mom had a similar experience! she saw it in a down town Toronto theatre at midnight with her friends! talk about a late night double feature picture show

[@xoxoKacey6]

there a small 1 theater cinema near my town in CT that does 2-3 showings a year and it's so much fun... we all dress up!!

[@shanyce2536]

that would of been an amazing sight to see 🤩

[@huntinglightning3507]

I love how the 😄🎵Over at the Frankenstein Place🎶 and 😄🎵Burning in the Fireplace🎶 chorus has a choir-like sound to it in the film. In my opinion, it's sounds beautiful. 😊

Brad and Janet must’ve been struggling not to shiver too violently as this was being shot because it obviously was frigidly cold in the soaking fake rain.

[@j.b.9260]

You'd think they wouldn't have to wait long for rain in England.

[@adamzanzie]

Susan Sarandon later got pneumonia during the swimming pool climax.

My dog is a Pekingese and his wispy blonde ears make him look exactly like Riffraff. He has a cat tree in a second story window that I leave open so he can look out and people/doggo watch while I’m at work. Whenever I pull out my driveway he watches me and I imagine him singing riffraff’s solo 😂😂 makes it less sad to leave him 💕
