Rocky Horror Picture Show Week has come to and end at The Lost Soul of Rock and Roll. Whatever happened to Saturday night? The song of the day for October 26, 2012 is 'Hot Patootie - Bless My Soul' from The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Meat Loaf, you fantastic bastard. 'Hot Patootie - Bless My Soul' is a fantastic tribute to 1950s rock & roll, and Meat Loaf does a great job with this number. My wife will be very excited to see Meat Loaf at The Lost Soul of Rock and Roll because she is a huge fan of Bat out of Hell.Check out Meat in his pre-Bat era of being a struggling musician and actor. Enjoy.

Rocky Horror Picture Show Week continues at The Lost Soul of Rock and Roll. Calling all satanic mechanics! The song of the day for October 25, 2012 is 'Sweet Transvestite' from The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

For those of you that regularly read this blog then it should be no surprise that I selected 'Sweet Transvestite'. I've been following the movie in sequence for the most part, however I did not select 'Dammit Janet'. 'Sweet Transvestite' is a fun song from The Rocky Horror Picture Show because it introduces Tim Curry as Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Come up to the lab and see what The Lost Soul has on the slab! Enjoy!

This is Rocky Horror Picture Show Week at The Lost Soul of Rock and Roll. It's just a jump to the left, and then a step to the right. The song of the day for October 24, 2012 is the 'Time Warp' from The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

I used to work at a family restaurant in Springfield, Ohio, and one day at work I discovered that a waitress was a big fan of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. We talked about the movie, and decided to show a fellow employee how to do the dance from the 'Time Warp'. I wish there was something more exciting to tell you about my moment teaching a fellow employee that it's just a jump to the left, and then a step to the right. Just click the video below and enjoy!

This is The Rocky Horror Picture Show Week at The Lost Soul of Rock and Roll. I am selecting my favorite songs from the 1975 cult classic. The song of the day for October 23, 2012 is 'Over at the Frankenstein Place'.

I started off with 'Science Fiction/Double Feature', skipped 'Dammit Janet', and decided to choose 'Over at the Frankenstein Place' as the song of the day. This song features the vocals of Susan Sarandon (Janet), Barry Bostwick (Brad), and Richard O'Brien (Riff Raff). I really love the part of the song where Riff Raff is introduced. That is wonderful. I hope you guys and gals are enjoying The Rocky Horror Picture Show Week. See you tomorrow!

Science Fiction Double Feature from The Rocky Horror Picture Show

This is Rocky Horror Picture Show Week at The Lost Soul of Rock and Roll. The Rocky Horror Picture Show was released 37 years ago and remains a cult classic and a midnight movie favorite. The song of the day for October 22, 2012 is 'Science Fiction/Double Feature'.

If we are going to have Rocky Horror Week at The Lost Soul of Rock and Roll, then we need to start it off right with the opening song, 'Science Fiction/Double Feature' by Richard O'Brien. It was O'Brien who wrote the musical and screenplay of The Rocky Horror Show and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.O'Brien is still in show business and he provides the voice of 'Dad' on Phineas and Ferb.

I used to work at a record store and one of the perks of working there was a 20% discount on purchases. One Saturday afternoon, I was debating what to buy, and decided to get a copy of The Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack. I went over to view the CDs in the soundtrack section, and had no luck. There was a copy on cassette and decided I'd wait until the end of my shift to make my purchase.

I was walking around the store asking people if they needed help when Albert walked in the store. Albert was a kid that I knew from school and he was one weird dude. He was one of those kids that you'd ask a general question like, "Hey, what's up?" and he'd reply with some bizarre statement.Albert walked straight over to the soundtrack section in the cassette aisle and picked up the Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack I wanted to purchase. I was prepared to wrestle the tape from the clutches of that little son-of-a-bitch when he put it down and picked up another tape. What were the odds that someone else in my silly Midwestern home town wanted a copy of the Rocky Horror Picture Show? Fortunately, the tape was still there at the end of my shift and I went home one happy Lost Soul of Rock and Roll. Enjoy the song.
