Yes, the Time Warp is overrated compared to the others. It's practically just a Monster Mash like song, the funky horror song that it's fairly OK, lyrically, to play anywhere. But the verses sung by Magenta anfd Columbia raise it a step.
Over at the Frankenstein Place. I love the ironic juxtaposition of 'There's a light', sung by Brad and Janet as if in a Church of England choir and the more 'urban' , and sinisterly revealing, rejoiners eg 'Burning in the fireplace'. And O'Brien's beautiful even when macabre bridge 'Flow morpheus flow, let the sunlight come streaming in to my life', with a well judged, ironic, snap of 'It's Alive!‘ like lightning rather than sunlight
Hot Patootie.
Planet Schmamet Janet. I adore this jaunty song and Curry's performance of it is in a glorious tradition of farce, half naked people being chased in English mansions but with an American type of 'It's just the pictures that have got smaller' frenzy to it.
Rose Tint My World/Wild and Untamed Thing/I'm Going Home. This is part of the Abbey Road style medley 'The Floorshow'.
