"Science Fiction / Double Feature (Reprise)" is a song from theatrical and cinematographic productions of The Rocky Horror Show since 1973 to this day, including the 1975 original film, the 2015 tribute production celebrating 40 years, and the 2016 reimagining film. Music and lyrics were composed by Richard O'Brien back in 1972 while the original musical arrangements are from Richard Hartley.

It was originally performed by Patricia Quinn in the original 1973 stage production, by Jamie Donnelly in the 1974 Roxy production in Los Angeles and the original Broadway production, by Kate Fitzpatrick in the 1974 Australian production, by Richard O'Brien in the 1975 original film, by Mary Maddox in the 1990 West End Revival, by Daphne Rubin-Vega in the 2001 Broadway Revival, and by Adam Lambert and Ivy Levan in the 2016 reimagining TV film (the only version to include Eddie and to be a duet).

Context[]

This song is performed by The Usherette to close the show in the stage productions, it recalls everything that happened that night. In the 1975 film, the role of the Usherette was deleted and this song and Science Fiction / Double Feature are song by some lips (that are from Patricia Quinn but the singing voice is from Richard O'Brien). In the 2016 TV film, this song is performed in a duet by the Usherette and Eddie during the credits.

Eddie:
I knew Leo G. Carroll was over a barrel
When Tarantula took to the hills
And I really got hot when I saw Jeanette Scott

And passing them used lots of skills
But when worlds collide, said George Pal to his bride
