For all of you poor people who feel that midnight is a terrible time to be
seeing a movie, and for everyone who has never been able to figure out
exactly what they are saying on the screen (or in the theater, for that
matter), the powers that be have decided to distribute the soundtrack of
RHPS in the only way that really matters -- with the audience included.
The recording was made at the Grenwich Village theater that is the home of
the RHPS fan club, and Sal <last name forgotten>, founder and president of
the RHPSFC emcees (well, kind of). The recording is very uneven and will
never make a top seller for the CD market, but for everyone who has been
too intimidated to see the movie because you don't know the proper
responses, we now have an 'official' version of what the audience's lines
are. There are some regional differences that I noted (including a
reference to White Castle hamburgers that most californians would never
understand) but if you like RHPS, its probably worth having around for
those times when you can't for the life of you find it showing somewhere
and you have to have a fix.
Couple of notes: unlike most soundtracks, this is the entire movie, not
just the songs. Also, the liner notes, where the words to the songs are
normally put, have the words to the audience responses, so you can actually
figure out what they are saying when the recording muddies out on you (the
recording isn't exactly the highest quality, but is definitely acceptable).

If everyone marches to the beat of a different drummer,
why does mine have to use a bongo?
