"Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch Me" is the eleventh song in The Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack. It is sung by Janet and features one-liners from Rocky, Brad, Frank'n'Furter, Magenta, Riff Raff, Eddie, and Columbia.
The song was written by Richard O'Brien especially for the stage play. It expresses Janet's feeling of loss for Brad cheating on her, her feelings of frustration concerning sexual matters and her pent-up angst of no one being intimate with her. The main focus of the song is sexual exploration. It shows Janet welcoming pure lust.
The song features a less common progression of Dm-C-G-Am in the verse with a more common D-E-G-D in the chorus. In the stage version of Rocky Horror, the song ends with Janet tearing off her bra and going down on the creature.
The chord progression from the DVD/movie follows Cm-Bb-Eb-Fm-Bb-Eb-(F#)G-(F#)G for the verse and C-D-F-C for the chorus, stepping up one half step to C#-Eb-F#-C# for the last chorus. The F#-C# chords repeat in the coda (over the Creature of the Night... lyric).
