That is the best. THE. BEST. You should really see it in the context of the whole film though, because truly that shit just comes outta left field.

All the little girls and the witchy teachers salivating over the photo of Curry as the Grand Wizard! OMG! What a fucked up movie :)

it's all about the bat tie

I really enjoy the idea that girls just go completely Justin Timberlake-style nuts over Tim Curry, if they're witches.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:38 (twenty years ago)

That fits in with every Rocky Horror performance I've ever attended.

― Dan (Leather: Not For Everyone) Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:40 (twenty years ago)

You've actually done that? Multiple times?

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:43 (twenty years ago)

LOOK I WAS 18 AND AWAY FROM HOME, ALL RIGHT?????

― Dan (Don't You Judge Me) Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:44 (twenty years ago)

Well one time I got dragged to something called "Naked Boys Singing," which lived up to its title, if it's any consolation.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:45 (twenty years ago)

Dan, you poor soul. (I only went to three total and in drag once.)

Ally -- uh. Well, truth in advertising, then.

Ned, I sobbed like David Hasslehoff when I realized what we were going to see. Painful. Truly painful.

So speaking of the Hoff, ts Tim Curry versus David's finest hour? I know everyone's seen that but it never stops being funny and it struck me they're very similar, except one is Halloween themed (? I think?) and the other isn't.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:54 (twenty years ago)

Man, that IS a tough call. What should they duet on?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:56 (twenty years ago)

Islands in the Stream

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:59 (twenty years ago)

Only if bad video effects show them IN A STREAM

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 25 May 2006 15:00 (twenty years ago)

With a herd of unicorns.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 25 May 2006 15:01 (twenty years ago)

You know, the opening lyrics to that song are insane:

Baby when i met you, there was peace on earth
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb
I was soft inside, there was something going on

A FINE TOOTH COMB?

"You were like the lice in my hair, dearest."

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 25 May 2006 15:03 (twenty years ago)

Huh. I never really paid much attention. Also the first line is poorly phrased, it implies the peace on earth existed prior to the hook up.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 25 May 2006 15:08 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I was baffled by that as well. But if they're happy.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 25 May 2006 15:13 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, whatever, good on 'em.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 25 May 2006 15:13 (twenty years ago)

Anyway, TIM CURRY. That opening little speech he gives, jeezum.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 25 May 2006 15:14 (twenty years ago)

David Hasselhoff sobbing on American Idol may be the most awesome thing I've seen on television in quite a while.

― Bluebell Madonna (Ex Leon), Thursday, 25 May 2006 15:19 (twenty years ago)

Anything can happen on Halloween
It's better than a video
Gremlins gonna mess up every cassette
From London to Idaho

oh noes, messed up cassettes!!

Haha... Charlotte Rae's number is up there too.

Today's the day!

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 31 October 2007 17:45 (eighteen years ago)

Oh dear God, how did I miss this?

― ENBB, Wednesday, 31 October 2007 18:01 (eighteen years ago)

Hahah!

Idolator has this plus another clip up.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 31 October 2007 18:20 (eighteen years ago)

― Eisbaer, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 19:49 (seventeen years ago)

― El Tomboto, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 21:48 (seventeen years ago)

HAS ANYBO-DY SEEN MY TAM-BO-REEN?

― El Tomboto, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 21:48 (seventeen years ago)

OMG I love that the gremlin-threatened mirror-Curry videotape is a betamax.

― Abbott, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 21:59 (seventeen years ago)

A dentist could turn into a queen.

― Abbott, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 22:01 (seventeen years ago)

i still have to rent this thing ...

― Eisbaer, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 22:02 (seventeen years ago)

Tim Curry's finest 3 seconds:

uillderness girls

― Slumpman, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 22:06 (seventeen years ago)

ugh why did I look up Naked Boys Singing

― HI DERE, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 22:43 (seventeen years ago)

Wait... none of you have seen this film? I thought it was a staple 80s children's classic and everyone's all WTF about it all... Very strange. My little sister has seen it probably a squillion times. Harry Potter totally ripped off a whole load of this wholesale.

― the next grozart, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 22:47 (seventeen years ago)

one year passes...

Because Halloween is coming sooner than you think.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 6 August 2009 02:02 (sixteen years ago)

Before I can even prepare for it, my toad will turn into a bass guitar?

Thank you for this Ned. <3

And one day to go, so.

Sing along, once more.

Time to revive.

Indeed! :-D

I, uh, somehow own a copy of this fine work.

― Jaq, Thursday, 13 October 2011 22:23 (fourteen years ago)

You are a better person than the rest of us.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 13 October 2011 22:23 (fourteen years ago)

I totally sang this song to someone today!
