SWEET TRANSVESTITE

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! ~~SWEET TRANSVESTITE- from The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Sweet Transvestite is the fifth song in the 1975 cult film The Rocky Horror Picture Show, performed by Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry) with minor spoken parts by Brad (Barry Bostwick), Janet (Susan Sarandon), Riff Raff (Richard O'Brien), Columbia (Nell Campbell) and Magenta (Patricia Quinn). In the original stage play, The Rocky Horror Show, the song came fourth - before The Time Warp. Later scripts of the stage play (from 1999 at least) use the film's ordering of the songs. Cover versions have been recorded by Anthony Stewart Head, among others.

In either case, it is sung at Dr. Frank-N-Furter's first appearance. In the movie, he appears wearing a long black cloak that obscures most of his body except his head and part of his 6-inch high heels. At the first chorus, he takes off the cloak to reveal his transvestial attire. The last verse of the song (beginning 'So - come up to the lab,') is spoken. It ends with Frank standing in a rising elevator, and the Transylvanians (people from Frank's home planet) clapping and cheering.
