The origins of THYME WARP.
It's a cross between "time warp", the dance from The Rocky Horror Picture Show and "parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme," lyrics from "Scarborough Fair/Cantale", a Simon and Garfunkel song. It's a perfect blend between the poeticism of the 60's, and the raunchy camp of the 70's.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show is one of my favourtie movies. It has it all: dancing and singing, transvestites, weird science, aliens, sexual tension, and CAMP to the nines. It explodes with campy glam and that's what makes it a cult classic.
The above video is a trailer for the film from 1975.
