Song Source

Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch Me 
(From The Rocky Horror Picture Show) 


I was feeling done in, couldn't win
I'd only ever kissed before.
I thought there's no use getting into heavy petting
It only leads to trouble and seat wetting...


Now all I want to know is how to go
I've tasted blood and I want more
I'll put up no resistance, I want to stay the distance
I've got an itch to scratch, I need assistance:


Toucha toucha toucha touch me, I wanna be dirty
Thrill me chill me fulfil me
Creature of the night.


Then if anything grows while you pose
I'll oil you up and rub you down
And that's just one small fraction of the main attraction
You need a friendly hand and I need action...


Toucha toucha toucha touch me, I wanna be dirty
Thrill me chill me fulfil me
Creature of the night.




....It can be said that most relationships are based on the trust of two people. Similar to the trust shared by Newt and Catherine in "A Long walk to Forever", the trust Brad and Janet share is one based from a relationship, whether it be a friendship or an intimate relationship, that begun early in their lives. The difference between the two is that, although Newt and Catherine don't get together right away, it could be assumed that they are faithful to one another when they do end up together. The opposite occurs between Brad and Janet, who got together at a young age, but both end up unfaithful to one another when encountering the incredibly seductive Dr. Frank-N-Furter. The song "Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch Me", occurs after Janet's sexual encounter with Frank-N-Furter, and whilst having another with Rocky Horror. The song is essentially Janet expressing her new found need for sexual pleasure, something she received very little of from Brad. This again represents to me the quote, “to be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved” as although Brad does love Janet despite what she did, it seems unlikely that he could retain complete trust in her thereafter. Though it doesn't give much insight into how the loss of trust affects the relationship between her and Brad, it does shows how and why Janet breaks Brad's trust for a second time...
