Are Motley Crue and Alice Cooper singing about the same Frankenstein?
To understand today's Status, you should probably familiarize yourself with Motley Crue's song "Dr. Feelgood" and Alice Cooper's "Feed My Frankenstein." I can't promise you'll be happy with yourself, but you'll at least know why Jeremy thinks he's funny.
Right you are! So, in the songs LIR mentions, it's pretty clear that Mr. Cooper is singing about his Frankenstein. If you want to know more about what this means, lyrical analyses are available on the internets as an exercise for the reader. They're not exactly wholesome, but you should have known that right around the time I said the words "Alice Cooper." Funny story, and I'm told it's true, but my boss at work apparently used to sit next to Alice Cooper (Or Vincent Furnier, as his birth certificate would lead you to think his name is) in church in Phoenix.
I'll let that sink in.
Either way, Motley Crue sings about Dr. Feelgood in a song whose lyrics are also not particularly wholesome. They refer to Dr. Feelgood as a man who is "gonna be your Frankenstein." This leads me to wonder if the two aren't the same Frankenstein. I'm pretty sure they are.
Anyway, just a couple things to wrap up from last week's Theme Week.
Oh yes, of course. Friday's entry in the "Dr. Seuss Character or Pokemon" Theme Week was Poliwhirl. The Poliwhirl, of course, is a first-generation Pokemon which lives in fresh water and whose primary abilities appear to be having translucent skin and getting other Pokemon wet. That's about it. Which means the finals total from last week were three Dr. Seuss Characters and two Pokemon. Thanks to everyone who played, and for the one person who actually recognized the hidden theme in the Post titles as characters in the Digimon universe. We hope you enjoyed Theme Week.
