Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Michael Rennie was I'll the day the earth stood still
But he told us where we stand
And Flash Gordon was there in silver underwear
Claude Rains was the invisable man
Then something went wring for Faye Wray and King Kong
They got caught in a celluloid jam
Then at a deadly pace it came from - outer space
And this is how the message ran
Science fiction - double feature
Doctor X will build a creature
See androids fighting
Brad and Janet
Anne Francis stars in Forbidden Planet
Oh oh oh oh
At the late night double feature picture show
I knew Leo G. Carrol was over a barrel when
Taratula took to the hills
And I really got hot when I saw Janet Scott fight a
Triffid that spits poison and kills
Dana Andrews said Prunes gave him the runes
And passing them used lots of skills
But When Worlds Collide said George Pal to his bride
'I'm gonna give you some terrible thrills'
Like a
Science fiction - double feature
Doctor X will build a creature

Oh oh oh oh
At the late night double feature picture show
I wanna go oh oh
To the late night double feature picture show
By are. K. O oh oh
To the late night picture show




In the back row oh oh
To the late night double-feature show
