Meaning
Both a parody and example of the dance genre in which the primary chorus constitutes of simple dance instructions. In the song, the three soloists (Riff Raff, Magenta, and Columbia) sing about their past and/or desires. Columbia's solo is most plain in meaning. She sings of her first meeting with someone, generally presumed to be Dr. Frank N. Furter himself, but occasionally argued as Eddie. While Frank would be the more obvious solution, Eddie is equally likely to be the subject of her solo, as while Frank is "a snake of a guy" and could very well have "the devil's eyes," many think he would never be caught dead, a, outside the castle, and b, in a pickup truck. Eddie, being an earthling and having a rather rockabilly sense of style, suits the setting a bit more (however, I personally enjoy the idea of it being Frank when they first arrive on earth). Magenta's is a bit less clear, though still easy to decipher. She wants to be invisible to live out her fantasies of, for lack of a better term, watching people get it on. This is something, it must be noted, she does actively through the rest of the film, being the one to maintain the various cameras in the Frankenstein castle. Riff Raff's is least clear. He speaks of bygone days, and the entire song seems to be performed out of a nostalgic tangent of his. The "under sedation" note, however, suggests he feels tied down, likely tired of performing the duty of Frank's "handyman."
