"Feed My Frankenstein" is a song originally written and originally released by British hard rock band Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction for their 1991 album Hoodlum Thunder .

Its highest chart position as a single was number 27 on the UK Singles Chart. Cooper gained a co-writer credit for his version due to different lyrics from the original.
