| Parody Song Title: | "Frankenstein" |
| Parody Written by: | Johnny D |
I'm in favor of genetic research to cure disease, extend life, and improve the human condition ... but some of the more bizarre potentialities creep me out ...
Frying that brain
Lightning and rain
Frankenstein, your hubris, swells indeed
Monster was dead
Now it's alive
And you know that potion
Makes dead flesh thrive
This old dead-skin flakes off in time
Leaves central nervous system open for crime
Slit liver's junction with pancreas, too
Drawn-and-quartered within, this corpse is writhin' with sin
Frying that brain
Lightning and rain
Frankenstein, your hubris, swells indeed
Monster was dead
Now it's alive
And you know that potion
Makes dead flesh thrive
Bolted-on head, (ahhh) monster sees red
Take my advice, he'd be better off dead
Igor's sleeping - brain, hungry for food, is,
On the at-tack and headed for you
Frying that brain
Lightning and rain
Frankenstein, your hubris, swells indeed
Monster was dead
Now it's alive
And you know that potion
Makes dead flesh thrive
Monster wants food on the double to feed
Got two dead eyes but you made them see
Is it your friend? Will, it be your end?
The thunderstorm screams and the lightning just gleams...
Frying that brain
Lightning and rain
Frankenstein, your hubris, swells indeed
Monster was dead
Now it's alive
And you know that potion
Makes dead flesh thrive
To-day we play
With DNA
Recombine, our hubris, swells indeed
Genes that were dead
Now are alive
Scientists in motion
For Nobel Prize
Frying that brain
Lightning and rain
Frankenstein, your hubris, swells indeed
Monster was dead
Now it's alive
And you know that potion
Makes dead flesh thrive
To-day we play
With DNA
Recombine, our hubris, swells indeed
Genes that were dead
Now are alive
Scientists in motion
For Nobel Prize
And you know they're hopin'
For Nobel Pri-i-ize!

Great job! 555!
Very intricate (good), parody! 5's
Very thorough depiction of old Franky. Nice work, JD. You didn't get the idea for this because of my comment on your 'Cocaine' parody did you? ;c)
yay...i love dead parodies...this is really good...laughed my ass off.. hope the good doc can sew it back on
I never realized this song was that long! Good job Johnny.
I just read that "gene doping" will be the next sports scandal. Very well written, Johnny, I'm splicing 3 fives together fer ya!
A touch of mad genius--setting a song about revivification to a tune by a group with the name "Dead."
Great, as usual Johnny! "Hopin' that these three fives make dead flesh thrive!" (Say that five times fast.)
Thank you, everybody!
Jack: Thanks!
Adagio: I guess I tried to pack a lot of material into a small song!
2nz: Yes, I did.
alvin: Igor has the scalpel ready.
Merry: Longer than you thought it would be, eh? Heh heh heh!
Rod: Yeah, we can have the X-Olympics, with Gamma-Ray-Enhanced-Green-Skinned-Greco-Roman-HULK-Wrestling!
JB: To Life!
Ashkicksass: Thanks for the high-five!

Looks like a monster hit.
Thanks Highlander.
Great job Johnny! This parody creeped me out a little though.............. 555!
All I could think of was Peter Boyle and Gene Wilder dancing in Young Frankenstien. This parody would be right up thier alley I think. Good job, my man.
Cookie-man & TGK, I thank you both!
as a fan of the grateful dead, and having just read the book frankenstein, i think this is an all around great parody. 5-5-5 maybe its a bit ironic that a song about a dead person is a parody of the grateful dead? (maybe?)
Thanks, deadhead!
