She Can Dance Like Frankenstein

about

This previously unreleased song was written about a real person! The best part of all is that she still came to see the band frequently when the song was firmly in our set list, and would exuberantly and un-ironically dance along to it!

An earlier demo exists, as the song was included in our original track listing for the Bad Is Beautiful album. This version was recorded in the mid-90s because our friend Ari Golan shot and edited a music video for that he would play as part of his famous annual Halloween party.

lyrics

She's got everything that a boy could want
Lips and legs and tits and tongue
Looks so good she makes it hurt
In her yellow plastic mini-skirt
Think that girl might be too tame?
Well, fill her glass up with champagne
She will dance like Frankenstein
Watch her dance like Frankenstein

She wants 3-D sex with Gi Joe
Wind her up and watch her go
Deep inside her something's lost
Turns wine to water, love to lust
If she slows down she'll start to think
So buy that girl another drink
And she will dance like Frankenstein
Watch her dance like Frankenstein

There she goes -- she's out of control
Thinks she's Marilyn Monroe
But little does she know she's done it again

Hell's bells, she's okay
It's fun to jump in front of trains
Baby talk from a woman's mouth
She's so sexy 'til words come out
Looks so good she makes it hurt
In her yellow plastic mini-skirt
She will dance like Frankenstein
Watch her dance like Frankenstein

She will dance like Frankenstein
Watch her dance like Frankenstein

The Bad Examples Chicago, Illinois

The Bad Examples burst on the Chicago rock scene in the early 90s, and extensive touring around America as well as hits in Europe established them as fan favorites and critical darlings. Their musically rich and lyrically resonant albums were at odds with the aesthetic of grunge, the industry "flavor of the day," and so mainstream success eluded them, but the band has remained true to their sound. ... more
