Igor
Boo Radley And The Haunters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have
A master
He says to me
“Hey Igor find the perfect brain for my creation”
So I searched the land
And I searched each place
I found the brain but I broke the face
Master you know I am a hunch back
It may be easy to tie my shoe
But it's getting so damn hard to please you

WOWWWWW!

(Snazzzzy music)

I'll try to do much better next time
I know I will Mr. Frankenstein!
I'll try to do much better next time
I know I will Mr. Frankenstein!
I'll try to do much better next time
I know I will Mr. Frankenstein!
But it's getting so damn hard
It's getting so damn hard




It's really getting hard
To please you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Boo Radley and the Haunters' song 'Igor' tell a story about a hunchbacked character named Igor who is employed by his master, Mr. Frankenstein, to find the perfect brain for his creation. The song begins with the commanding voice of Mr. Frankenstein instructing Igor to find the ideal brain for his creation, leading Igor on a journey across the land to find the perfect brain. However, things don't go according to plan as Igor breaks the face of the brain he finally finds. Igor tries to make excuses for his actions, but it becomes apparent that pleasing his master has become more and more difficult for him.


The lyrics of 'Igor' explore the classic themes of control, obedience, and servitude. Igor's relationship with his boss mirrors the power dynamic between a master and a servant, with Igor seemingly trying to please his master at all costs, but finding it increasingly difficult to do so. The lyrics also contain a strong sense of frustration and hopelessness, as Igor repeatedly fails to meet Mr. Frankenstein's expectations, despite his best efforts.

THE TRANSITIONS BETWEEN THE SONGS IS SO GOOD OML

Flounder_V3

Mariluce Silva

​@Flounder_V3 my favorite transition is between earfquake and i think. if you listen with careful, during the last seconds from earfquake, you can hear tyler counting "one, two two, three three" until i think starts with "four"
