What's odd about the Glee costuming choice is that Chord Overstreet, who plays Rocky, is seen sporting a gold tank top to match his shorts. Chord has given an interview saying he's contractually required to have his shirt off twice in every episode of Glee (cutely claiming he's now TV's Taylor Lautner) and that they make him live up to that provision very often. So why not shirtless for the role that's famously shirtless?

His name is Chord and he's on "Glee". That's funny.

Wow! I thought I was going overboard with just six or seven.

So, not counting the easily available versions, which would be the most rewarding to hunt down?

"Touch-Me" is being sung not by Quinn, but by the guidance counselor, btw.

By the way, I don't think they're making The Rocky Horror Glee Show for us.* They're making it for all of those kids out there who don't know RHPS. And who may have their eyes opened to it through the show. Yes, networks are real sh!ts about what needs censoring. But there's a whole lot they're allowing the writers to discuss on prime time air these days, including on Glee. Progress in the right direction, at least.

*us=any RHPS fan

This reminds me of a concert I saw, put on by a Disney cast member choir and orchestra (quite good!) a few years back. It was all show tunes, and the most memorable number was a big chorale of "La Vie Boheme' from RENT. I recall a couple of very creative Disney-mandated alterations:

"To S&M" became "To M&Ms"

and my favorite,

"Mucho masturbation" became "Cinderellabration!"

Well that's an interesting euphemism - are there others for when you fantasize about different Disney princesses?
