Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction play an ultra sleazy style of commercial hard rock featuring big riffs and big choruses, as was the trend in the band’s heyday of the mid-to-late 80s and early 90s. The outrageously camp lyrics are intended as self-parody, and can be seen as either humorous (by those who "get the joke") or offensive (by those who take them at face value) for their often lascivious and misogynist tone. Song titles like "Back Seat Education," "Feed My Frankenstein," "High Heeled Heaven" and "Trash Madonna" illustrate Zodiac’s tongue-in-cheek approach. Lyrical content also exhibits a send up of cult worship, often of Zodiac Mindwarp’s self proclaimed raging libido, with the frontman claiming the titles of "sex führer," "love dictator" and "high priest of love." Songs such as "Holy Gasoline," "President of the United States of Love," "Messianic Reprise," "Planet Girl" and "Elvis Died for You" are similarly inclined.
The video for the band's track "Prime Mover" was directed by Comic Strip actor/comedian Adrian Edmonson. Featuring explosions, scantily-clad young women and the band as alien invaders it immaculately captured the band's nasty, posturing style.
Occasionally referred to as "biker rock," the band’s style of hard rock is reflected in their outlandish attire, which tends to parody the post-apocalyptic "Mad Max" biker look. However, they have adopted a more common "street look" in recent years.
Zodiac co-wrote the track "There's a Barbarian in the Back of My Car" on the Voice of the Beehive album Let It Bee. He also co-wrote the track "Feed My Frankenstein" which appeared on the Alice Cooper album Hey Stoopid. Zodiac Mindwarp and The Love Reaction recorded their own version of the song which appeared on the album Hoodlum Thunder.
In 1992 Zodiac appeared on the album 456 by The Grid, singing lead vocals on the album's final track "Fire Engine Red." Love Reaction guitarist Cobalt Stargazer also appeared on the same album, performing on the tracks "Face The Sun" and "Leave Your Body".
In recent years Mark Manning has established himself as author penning books entitled Bad Wisdom (with Bill Drummond), Crucify Me Again, Get Your Cock Out, Fucked By Rock, Collateral Damage and The Wild Highway (again with Bill Drummond).
Feed My Frankenstein
Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
baby start cooking.
I'm a hungry man but I dom't want pizza,
I'll blow down your house and then I'm gonna eat you.
Your legs meet in heaven and taste like tequila,
you make me feel good but you're not a dope dealer
FEED MY FRANKENSTEIN MEET MY LIBIDO
HE'S A PSYCHO
You don't wanna talk so baby shut up and let me drink the wine from your fur tea cup,
that velcro candy, sticky sweet, make my tattoos melt in the heat.
Well I ain't veggie, like my flesh on the bone,
alive and kicking with no chaperone.
FEED MY FRANKENSTEIN MEET MY LIBIDO
HE'S A PSYCHO,
FEED MY FRANKENSTEIN HUNGRY FOR LOVE AND ITS FEEDING TIME,
FEED MY FRANKENSTEIN WOAH BANG THE GONG,
FEED MY FRANKENSIEIN WOAH CHOW DOWN FEED MY FRANKENSTEIN...
What great big eyes you've got grandma, tense?
Nervous? freudian?
The lyrics to Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction's song Feed My Frankenstein are a mix of dark humor and sexual desire. The first verse describes the singer starting a fire and being a "hungry man" who wants to eat someone. He compares the taste of the person's legs to tequila and acknowledges that they make him feel good, but also notes that they are not a drug dealer. The chorus repeats the phrase "Feed My Frankenstein" which is a reference to the classic horror character, and the singer instructs his libido (which he calls a psycho) to meet the Frankenstein monster. He claims that he is hungry for love and that it's "feeding time."
The second verse continues the theme of desire, with the singer asking the person to stop talking so he can drink wine from their fur tea cup. He describes their candy-like sweetness and notes that he enjoys eating flesh on the bone. The chorus is repeated again, with mentions of banging the gong and chowing down on the Frankenstein monster. The final line is a reference to Little Red Riding Hood, asking if the person is tense, nervous, or Freudian, further emphasizing the predatory nature of the song.

I ain't evil I'm just good looking started a fire, baby start cooking.
I may look too good to be true, but please don't ignore the undeniable fire that I am capable of igniting. Let's start our own flames together.
I'm a hungry man but I dom't want pizza, I'll blow down your house and then I'm gonna eat you.
Pizza may be a popular choice among many, but my appetite is only satisfied by indulging in something more exotic- like you. If I have to destruct your safe haven in order to do that, I will.
Your legs meet in heaven and taste like tequila, you make me feel good but you're not a dope dealer
Your physical attributes are heaven-like and the taste of you is just as addicting as a tequila shot. However, you can't provide me with the kind of high that I can get from a drug dealer.
FEED MY FRANKENSTEIN MEET MY LIBIDO HE'S A PSYCHO
My sexual desires are uncontrollable and sometimes terrifying, much like the character of Frankenstein. But don't worry, I'll make sure you enjoy every bit of it.
FEED MY FRANKENSTEIN HUNGRY FOR LOVE AND IT'S FEEDING TIME.
I yearn for more than just a physical connection with you, I crave your love. And now, is the perfect time for us to indulge in this primal need.

If you're not in the mood to talk, that's okay. Let me sip some of the wine from your intimate parts, while I indulge in the pleasure of being with you. Your sweetness is irresistible and my tattoos are melting in the heat of our passion.
Well I ain't veggie, like my flesh on the bone, alive and kicking with no chaperone.
I'm not one to follow traditional or healthy diets, my preference is for something more raw and primal. I'm alive and ready to explore every part of you, without any restrictions or rules.

FEED MY FRANKENSIEIN WOAH CHOW DOWN FEED MY FRANKENSTEIN...
I want to devour every inch of you, embodying the character of Frankenstein and indulging in our most primal desires together.
What great big eyes you've got grandma, tense? Nervous? freudian?
Just like Little Red Riding Hood's encounter with the Big Bad Wolf, your eyes captivate me with their size and beauty. I can't help but wonder if there's something more hidden beneath the surface - tension, nervousness, or even some Freudian psychology.

You know youve written a musical masterpiece when a legend such as Alice Cooper covers it. Great song. Both versions are awesome
Neil Ellis
cool version, Alice does it good too though, Zodiac Mindwarp are so under rated but they're one of my faves

@dansden22 I agree, more of a collaboration as Zodiac Mindwarp was one of Alice's favorite bands back then,both versions deserve credit,great song :)

OMG I thought it would be from Alice Cooper, but this version is great too. This singer sounds even more "bad" like Alice i think and this is not easy. Thank you for this! 2:25 - 2:50 funny like hell

Alice Cooper's version is pretty cool, but is almost the same than the original! ...which is pretty cool too!!
Volodymyr Bilyk
The solos in Cooper's version are quite different as it is basically Vai\Satriani jerk shred extravaganza
Hairy Haggis
The Alice version is considered the original although Zodiac wrote it they wrote it for Alice.Same idea Kris Kristofferson did with a lot of his recordings, penned for others as originals but then recored by him.
