There probably aren't too many out there who know of—much less remember (I'm not even that old)—Kay Kyser's Kollege of Musical Knowledge, so I'll just jump right in...
For those who may not know (as hard as that is to imagine), originally, The Rocky Horror Show (1973)
Two years later (1975) it was made into what would become the most famous "cult flick" of all time,
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Two years after that (1977), was the (future) Missus' & my first... experience—going to a midnight showing. What I remember most—and most fondly—is the opening song. Why? Because back then, I may have been the only person in that audience of 'twenty-somethings' who not only 'got'—but had actually seen—every movie reference in the song. I also found the haunting melody (IMO) one of the best songs of the '70s.
Here it is, in a version with lyrics, and clips from every sci-fi/horror movie referenced in the song. Enjoy!
We've not been to a showing in decades. If you've never been (probably not very likely) I urge you to attend one. Search: rocky horror picture show [closest city]
for a showing near you. Bring a friend (and a poncho).
