video rec: Science Fiction Double Feature

Amanda Palmer sings "Science Fiction Double Feature", accompanied by Stephin Merritt, Moby, and Neil Gaiman. Sadly she is not actually playing the Usherette, but she is basically performing in her underwear, so hey. I wish we got even more Stephin Merritt, but what we did is gorgeous (he's singing in his register, always good...). I was amused by the extent to which I had no idea what the real lyrics are. (Or maybe I did once: the last time I saw Rocky Horror was probably 13-14 years ago... and the *next* time is likely to be when Junie wants to go and is too young to drive herself around after midnight...) The funniest part, though, is the way ( spoiler cut )

I guess this could also be a rec for The Mary Sue in general, a fine source for geek culture news and amusements.
