Time warp - Rocky Horror Show

In todays lesson we go given the words to the rocky horror show - time warp, we then got to listen to the musical version of the song -
we all learnt the words together at first...


RiffRaff:
It's astounding;
Time is fleeting;
Madness takes its toll.
But listen closely...

Magenta:
Not for very much longer.

RiffRaff:
I've got to keep control.

I remember doing the time-warp
Drinking those moments when
The Blackness would hit me

Magenta:
And the void would be calling...

Transylvanians:
Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.

Narrator:
It's just a jump to the left.

All:
And then a step to the right.

Narrator:
Put your hands on your hips.

All:
You bring your knees in tight.
But it's the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane.
Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.

Magenta:
It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me.
So you can't see me, no, not at all.
In another dimension, with
voyeuristic intention,
Well secluded, I see all.

RiffRaff:
With a bit of a mind flip

Magenta:
You're into the time slip.

RiffRaff:
And nothing can ever be the same.

Magenta:
You're spaced out on sensation.

RiffRaff:
Like you're under sedation.

All:
Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.

Columbia:
Well I was walking down the street
just a-having a think
When a snake of a guy gave me an
evil wink.
He shook-a me up, he took me by surprise.
He had a pickup truck, and the
devil's eyes.
He stared at me and I felt a change.
Time meant nothing, never would again.

All:
Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.

Narrator:
It's just a jump to the left.

All:
And then a step to the right.

Narrator:
Put your hands on your hips.

All:
You bring your knees in tight.
But it's the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane.
Let's do the time-warp again.
Let's do the time-warp again.

After learning the lyrics, we then got up on our feet and put some of the well known moves to song

we watched the original scene from the filmhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0SqS2QJdj8

Then looked at the new adapted version people do, which by YouTube looks very popular at weddings and parties

strenghts -

• the whole class really got into the dancing and we made the lesson fun but productive, we even recorded it as evidence for the unit
• everyone got involved in creating some of the movements up which we didn't already know
• everyone sang the song while trying to learn it as it was a popular song to everyone

weaknesses -

• it was hard to dance and sing in some section for example 'Columbia's ' verse was hard as not everyone knew them words to start with, trying to read the lyrics and dance proved difficult
• the song doesn't really help your singing as its mainly talking/singing but it does help to dance and sing at the same time
