Amanda Palmer and Stephin Merritt on Ukulele

Many thanks to Shelley Rickey for alerting me to this ukulele video via Twitter.

Amanda Palmer and Stephin Merritt play ukuleles on the Late Show performing Science Fiction / Double Feature from the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Ably supported by Moby on guitar and Neil Gaiman on toy piano.  Whats not to like?




Oh, and if you want the chords -

	G	F
	Michael Rennie was ill the day the	Earth stood still

	Eb	D
But he	told us where we	stand

(same chords)

And Flash Gordon was there in silver underwear

Claude Reines was the invisible man

Then something went wrong for Fay 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

	C	D	G	Em
	Science	fiction	double	feature

(same chords)

Doctor X will build a creature

See androids fighting Brad and Janet

Anne Francis stars in Forbidden Planet

	C	D	G	Em	G	Em
	Oh, at the late night double	feature picture	show.

I knew Leo G. Carrol was over a bareel

When Tarantula took to the hills

And I really got hot when I saw Jeanet Scott

Fight a triffid that spits poison and kills

Dana Andrews said prunes, gave him the runes

And passing them used lots of skill

But when worlds collide, said George Powell to his bride

I'm gonna give you some terrible thrills, like a

Science fiction double feature

Doctor X will build a creature

See androids fighting Brad and Janet

Anne Francis stars in Forbidden Planet

Oh, at the late night double feature picture show

I wanna go

Oh, to the late night double feature picture show

By RKO

Oh, at the late night double feature picture show

In the back row

Oh, at the late night double feature picture show.

Science Fiction double feature

Frank has built and lost his creature

Darkness has conquered Brad and Janet

The servants gone to a distant planet

Oh, at the late night double feature picture show

I wanna go

Oh, to the late night double feature picture show.
