Science Fiction/Double Feature
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Science Fiction/Double Feature is the opening song to the 1973 B-movie stage play The Rocky Horror Show, and its 1975 film counterpart The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Like the story, the song is a tribute of sorts to the many B-movies that the film itself parodied. The movie version of the song is performed by a pair of red lips (which were the lips of co-star Patricia Quinn, although the song was sung by Richard O'Brien who wrote the story.) In the original Rocky Horror Show, the song was performed by Usherette Trixie, who doubled as Magenta.
The movies that referenced in the song are:
- The Day the Earth Stood Still
- Flash Gordon
- The Invisible Man
- King Kong
- It Came From Outer Space
- Doctor X
- Forbidden Planet
- Tarantula
- The Day of the Triffids
- Curse of the Demon
- When Worlds Collide
