The Lyrics
Who's that guy
On the late show
Or the videos?
...Colin Clive?...
The one who made
A rotten corpse glow
With electrodes
Frankenstein
(Mary Shelley, Mary Shelley, she wrote it...)
(Mary Shelley, Mary Shelley, she knew it'd blow our minds...)
Who's the guy
Who dug up graves
For a good brain
With Dwight Frye?
And who did say
In his surprise
That "It's A-live!"?
Frankenstein
(Can't forget it, can't forget it, can't forget it...)
(Can't forget it, can't forget it, can't forget it no...)
Who's that guy
Who did that feat
Made a dude breathe
From a spark?
So who's the guy
Who gave us creeps
In our night sleeps
In the dark?
Used old body parts
(Water good, fire bad...) (4x)
Who's that guy
With dyna-mos
And a big nose?
Frankenstein
And who's that guy
When the wind blows,
Halloween knows?
Frankenstein
You know...Frankenstein
It's gross...Frankenstein
(ha ha ha ha)
On the late show

...Colin Clive?...
The one who made
A rotten corpse glow

(Mary Shelley, Mary Shelley, she knew it'd blow our minds...)
Who's the guy
Who dug up graves
For a good brain
With Dwight Frye?
And who did say
In his surprise
That "It's A-live!"?
Frankenstein
(Can't forget it, can't forget it, can't forget it...)
(Can't forget it, can't forget it, can't forget it no...)
Who's that guy
Who did that feat
Made a dude breathe
From a spark?
So who's the guy
Who gave us creeps
In our night sleeps
In the dark?
Used old body parts

And a big nose?
Frankenstein
And who's that guy
When the wind blows,
Halloween knows?
Frankenstein
You know...Frankenstein
It's gross...Frankenstein

DKTOS, but I like the trip down cinematic memory lane.
I call him LetterMine . . . as on channel ~5~
One of my fave Enya OS's. When I think of Frankenstein, I think of Herman Munster. Anyways, it's ALIVE...WITH 5's!!!
Great job, and 5s, coming from a big fan of both Enya and Frankenstein's Monster.
I love that song. It goes well with one of my favorite subjects.
Now *there* was a current event worth writing home about! ;)
Don't think this would be as relaxing as the original. But it's good
This was great; I enjoyed it. Interesting OS choice too! 5-5-5
No inclusion of "Young Frankenstein"? Bummer! I haven't seen the original Boris Karloff yet but I plan to, and did you know that the first video of Frankenstein was done by Thomas Edison. There's a fun fact for you!
(Artistry) Clever writing here, but a bit lacking in the funny. Not that that's the main point, really, but it's hard to honestly vote 555 on a really good parody when the funny is replaced with wit. Feck it, 555!
(Artistry) Good work putting new life into this song, you mad parody scientist you.
The OS is probably the most famous of Enya's collection, and the rhyme scheme is so repetitive and predictable that I was worried about what someone could possibly do with it. However, you really stepped up to the plate here Agri. Your rhyming was masterful, and using a wide array of simple vocabulary, you captured a historic piece of horror cinema in a fashion that preserves its beauty perfectly. Fantastic pacing, favorite verse was the first, and nice job working in the writer.
Wanna just say "ditto BAD" again, but this was awesome. Unlike so many movie/book parodies, this one doesn't require much knowledge to "get it". 555.
A classic parody of a classic song paying tribute to a classic movie. You have made my day.
Exabyter, you are welcome, and thanks for commenting! I hope you can dig around here and find more jewels amongst the dirt. There's a lot more to this site than political rants.
