Dr Stein
Helloween Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once they killed his monster when it went into a trap
Now he's making better ones on a higher step

On a warm summer day the doctor went away
To a place where he could make it real
His assistant's hips were nice so he cloned her once or twice
Now his hips are aching what a deal
Dr. Stein grows funny creatures, let's them run into the night
They become great rock musicians and their time is right, time is right

Sometimes when he's feeling bored, he's calling it a day
He's got his computer and they do it their own way

They mix some DNA, some skin and certain spray
You can watch it on a laser screen
And the fellow's blue and gray or sometimes pink and green
Just check it out on Halloween

Dr. Stein grows funny creatures, let's them run into the night
They become great politicians and their time is right

One night he cloned himself, put his brother on a shelf
But when he fell asleep that night
It crept up from behind and thought, "well never mind"
Took a syringe and blew out his life

Dr. Stein grows funny creatures, let's hem run into the night
They become a great possession and their time is right
Dr. Stein grows funny creatures, let's hem run into the night




They become a great oppression and their time is right
Time is right, time is right, time is right

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Dr. Stein" tell the story of a mad scientist who creates various creatures, including rock musicians and politicians, using a mixture of DNA, skin, and spray. The doctor is portrayed as someone who is always striving to improve upon his creations, with the opening lines of the song suggesting that he has moved on to "better" monsters after the first one was killed. Despite his successes, the doctor is depicted as someone who is not quite in control of his creations - the cloned assistant's hips cause him physical discomfort, while one of his own clones turns against him and kills him.


The song can be seen as a commentary on the dangers of playing God and manipulating the natural order of things. The creatures Dr. Stein creates are not just physically malformed, but they also seem to have unpredictable and uncontrollable tendencies that eventually lead to tragedy. However, there is also a sense of fascination and awe in the lyrics, as the creatures the doctor creates become great musicians and politicians who are able to seize their moment in the spotlight.


Overall, "Dr. Stein" is a cautionary tale about the consequences of scientific experimentation and the lure of power and control.

Let's hem run into the night
They become a great opression
And their time is right

Well, I was 15 when I first heard this song, and now I'm 37. And it still sounds as good as it did in 1988. Record companies actually signed good bands and let them make good music back then. Thanks for posting this!
