Track 3 “Superstar Hairdo” might be the most excitingly creative venture into the reality of Dr. Frankenstein squirming with what to do about the hairstyle of his second human creation - the Bride of Frankenstein. Seems the good doctor knew a lot about piecing body parts together, but when it came to the hair, he needed to outsource the job. Hence, a phone call was made to a salon... and here lies the basis of the dynamic song with the flamboyant touch of master violinist Eric Lee (recorded by the equally famous Jim Henry).

“SUPERSTAR HAIRDO”
by Tito Nov 2017 and Feb 2018
Am
My name is Dr Frankenstein
I live just down the street Amf
I’d like to make an appointment D7
There is someone you must meet C G
She stitched up fine... I mean... Am
You need not know that fact Amf
She’s younger than she looks and E7
there’s one thing that she lacks C G
...............................................
Her hair is flat it needs some life C
Something I know you can do G
An electric wave in black and white Am Fmaj7
shocking and daring and new D7
D6 C G
She needs a Superstar Hairdo x3
Am G F G G#dim
She’s alive! A
........................................
She is the Bride of Frankenstein
of course she’ll need a gown
perhaps you can direct me
to a tailor in this town C G
No - I’ll take care of that
you attend to her needs
I’ve already explained it
I’ll repeat it if you please C G
repeat pre-chorus and chorus
Am Amf
My name is Dr Frankenstein
I’ll make sure she’s there on time
She’s alive! x2 Am Am Am Ameb
