Hot Patootie
Richard O'Brien Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you Left your job and felt alright?
[It] Don't seem the same since cosmic light
Came into my life, I thought I was divine
I used to go for a ride with a chick who'd go
And listen to the music on the radio
A saxophone was blowin' on a rock-n-roll show
You really had a good time
Hot Patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock-n-roll '4
My it head used to swim from the perfume I smelled
My hands kind of fumbled with her white plastic belt
I'd taste her baby pink lipstick and that when I'd melt
She'd whisper in my ear, tonight she really was mine
Get back infront and put some hair oil on
Buddy Holly was singin' his very last song
With your arms around your girl, you'd try and sing along
You felt pretty good (woo!)
You really had a good time
Hot Patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock-n-roll '4
Hot Patootie (Hot Patootie, bless my soul)
Bless my soul (I really love that rock-n-roll) '8
The lyrics of Richard O'Brien's "Hot Patootie" nostalgically reminisce about a time when Saturday nights were full of fun, music, and love. However, the singer can't help but feel that those days are gone, ever since the cosmic light came into their life. The song talks about the singer's romantic escapades with a girl, listening to rock-n-roll music on the radio, and the thrill of the ride in the back seat. The singer is smitten with this girl and is completely lost in the experience, from the scent of her perfume to the taste of her lipstick. The lyrics describe how they used to sing along to the music, feeling carefree and happy with their arms around each other, whooping and hollering.
The refrain, "Hot Patootie, bless my soul, I really love that rock-n-roll," is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the joy and youthful exuberance the singer felt in his past. The lyrics are infused with a sense of longing for a bygone era, where love and music were the only things that mattered. The song captures the spirit of the 1950s and 60s, which was a time of great social change in America, where young people were breaking free from the shackles of societal norms, and embracing new ideas and ways of life.

What ever happened to Saturday night?
I wonder what has become of the exciting Saturday nights we used to have?
When you Left your job and felt alright?
When you finish working for the week and feel great?
[It] Don't seem the same since cosmic light
It feels different, ever since the unique cosmic light illuminated me
Came into my life, I thought I was divine
I felt magnificent when the cosmic light came into my life
I used to go for a ride with a chick who'd go
I used to enjoy a ride with a girl who was enthusiastic
And listen to the music on the radio
While listening to the radio music while on the ride
A saxophone was blowin' on a rock-n-roll show
There was a saxophonist performing at the rock-n-roll show
You climbed in the back seat
You got into the back of the car
You really had a good time
You had a great time
Hot Patootie, bless my soul
That's amazing, I am so delighted
I really love that rock-n-roll '4
I really appreciate rock-n-roll
My it head used to swim from the perfume I smelled
Her perfume was so strong that it used to make me dizzy
My hands kind of fumbled with her white plastic belt
I was so nervous that I couldn't handle her cheap plastic belt with ease
I'd taste her baby pink lipstick and that when I'd melt
I would feel weak when I tasted her sweetly colored lipstick on my lips
She'd whisper in my ear, tonight she really was mine
She would whisper that she belonged to me for the night
Get back infront and put some hair oil on
Go back to the front seat and use some hair oil
Buddy Holly was singin' his very last song
Buddy Holly was performing his final song
With your arms around your girl, you'd try and sing along
With your arms around your girl, you would attempt to sing along
You felt pretty good (woo!)
You were feeling rather happy
You really had a good time
You enjoyed yourself immensely
Hot Patootie, bless my soul
That's amazing, I am so delighted
I really love that rock-n-roll '4
I really appreciate rock-n-roll
Hot Patootie (Hot Patootie, bless my soul)
That's amazing (That's extraordinary, I am so delighted)
Bless my soul (I really love that rock-n-roll) '8
I am so delighted (I really appreciate rock-n-roll)

This is my favorite part
Shows off Meat Loaf as an actor and how villainous Frank N Furter truly is without the smoke and mirrors of sexual appeal.

Rest In Peace Meatloaf, you will be missed by many, as you were loved by many.
Percy Gloverfold
If they ever make a movie about Meatloaf, Jack Black HAS to play him.
CHUD-Master General
RedYellow Blue youβre right
Miguel Gonzalez
Jack Black is now too old to play Meatloaf. He's currently (2018) older than Meatloaf was when he released Bat Out of Hell II and his massive single I'd do anything...
Oskar Hobbs
Yeah both are rock artists also both great actors
movierocks
Meat Loaf did not know how to ride a motorcycle at the time. The shots where they show Eddie far away thatβs a stunt double. For the close up shots they were actually pushing Meatloaf in a wheelchair.

There is a movie about meatloaf called βto hell and backβ
