Lyrics:
Hey, pussycat
What's going down?

Whatever happened to a Saturday night
When you dressed up sharp and you felt alright
It don't seem the same since cosmic light
Came into my life
I thought I was divine, wow-wow

I used to go for a ride with a chick who'd go
And listen to the music on the radio
A saxophone was blowing on a Rock and Roll show
We climbed in the back seat
And, wow, really had a good time

Hot Patootie - bless my soul
I really love that rock 'n' roll, hit me
Hot Patootie - bless my soul
I really love that rock 'n' roll
Hey

My head was swimming from the perfume I smelt
My hands kinda fumbled with her white plastic belt
I'd taste her baby pink lipstick
And that's when I'd melt
She'd whisper in my ear
Tonight she really was mine

Get back in the front and put some hair oil on (oooh, oooh)
Buddy Holly was singing his very last song (oooh, oooh)
With your arms around your girl you tried to sing along (bop, shoo, wop, bop, shoo, wop)
You felt pretty good 'cos you'd (bop, shoo, wop)
Really had a good time (oohhhh)

Hot Patootie - bless my soul, yeah, yeah
I really love that rock 'n' roll, rock and roll
Hot Patootie - bless my soul
I really love that rock 'n' roll, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hot Patootie - bless my soul
I really love that rock 'n' roll (I really love that rock 'n' roll), yeah
Hot Patootie - bless my soul
I really love that rock 'n' roll, oww, hey

I dig it
Hey, hey, hey
Wow
Ha, ha, ha, ha

Hot Patootie - bless my soul
I really love that rock 'n' roll
Hot Patootie - bless my soul
I really love that rock, ow, ow, ow

Hot Patootie - bless my soul
I really love that rock 'n' roll (I really love that rock 'n' roll), yeah
Hot Patootie - bless my soul
I really love that rock
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hot Patootie - bless my soul
I really love that rock 'n' roll (I really love that rock 'n' roll)
Hot Patootie - bless my soul
I really love that rock 'n' rock 'n' rock 'n' roll

Hot Patootie
Ow

brian is underrated as a singer because he was a member of queen, which had the best singer in rock history (in my opionion) as a lead singer. hard to compete with that. but brian is very good, even though i prefer the meatloaf version.

[nobunagaspectre]

Give Brian a lot of credit, he sings and plays guitar, both very well. I can think of no other singer/guitarist so talented in both aspects. Meatloaf is the best, but this is a damn fine cover.

They should have a tribute to the Rocky Horror Picture show, and have a bunch of rock dudes cover the whole soundtrack.

@DeadNorwegianBlue now THAT would be genius!!!

[77magenta]

what a fucking insult to rocky horror and meatloaf.

[LexxTubeV1]

@RandomProcras Close. Brian May formed Smile, Tim Staffell was the lead singer. Their songs weren't too bad actually. :)

[DeadNorwegianBlue]

Rocky Horror with:

Freddie Mercury as Dr. Frank N Furter

Brian May as Eddie

Roger Taylor as Rocky

John Deacon as Riff Raff

[RandomProcras]

May used to be lead singer of Smile. But then came a young man named Farrokh Bulsara (soon changed his name to Freddie) joined the band and the rest is history.

I just had a party in front of my computer screen. :D 

[zodo5]

This combines Queen and TRHPS.  I can die happy.

[dunskie]

I was surprised. I like his take on it. Sings it in the tough Meatloaf key of "C" too.

Cool Brian!

[QueenDeaconite]

@DinkieMalone Yeah Meatloaf obviously feels the same, thus they are great friends. XD He's not competing, he's covering a song he likes a lot, as many people have done to his. He didn't try to compete with Freddie either, vocally obviously, that's just ridiculous. I'll never understand why people get so bitter about covers, if you don't like it, it hasn't somehow harmed the original!
