The Time Warp Dance-Rocky Horror

Ok, so drastically different music than from the previous post...this is 1950's boogie woogie jerry lee lewis style music. The written out notation for this music is basically just chord symbols with a few rhythms here and there. It is written in a verse then chorus structure, I guess making it a binary form. It does modulate...pick a key, any key....and gives a lot of room for interpolation and improvisation. As crazy as the words (and whole plot of the story frankly...damnit, janet..) are, the piece is rather enjoyable, melodic and catchy and I liked it. It also uses some blues and dorian scales....flat 3,5, and 7 (blues) and flat 3 and 7 (dorian). Take a step to the left...

Have you been to a showing of the movie? My college had at least one showing every year, and most big cities had a theater that showed it every Friday at midnight.
