Rose Tint My World

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rose Tint My World is the fourteenth song in the cult musical The Rocky Horror Show and its film counterpart The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It is part 1 of 3 of the Floor Show Medley towards the end of the show.

The song is sung by Columbia (played by Nell Campbell in the film), Rocky (played by Peter Hinwood and sung by Trevor Horn in the film), Brad (played by Barry Bostwick in the film) and Janet (played by Susan Sarandon in the film).

The song finds the characters dressed in corsets, fishnets, boas and all-white face makeup. The lyrics of each verse describe the character's descent into the sordid world of debauched sex, as enabled by Frank-N-Furter.

[edit] Cover versions

The entire Floor Show Medley, including Rose Tint My World has been covered by Suburban Legends, but the whole track was released simply as Rose Tint My World. Also, the band, "Lucky Strike," did a cover version of this on "The Rocky Horror Punk Rock Show."
