I've gotta ask you one question:
Feb 12, 2009, 05:57
How is this a cover of The New York Dolls' "Frankenstein (Original)"?

Well, there's only the opening line "Something must have happened/over Manhattan" and the refrain of the title. And that's pretty much it. It's also not titled "Frankenstein (Original)."

If this song had a different title, no one would think for an instant it was a cover of "Frankenstein (Original)."

It's also missing at least four verses,

There's so much phasing/distortion on the guitar it blurs most of the chords,

There's a line about planes flying into buildings,

The word "martyr" is in the sung lyrics...

It's not a Dolls cover. It's...

a FRANKENSTEIN.

Love,

Edgar Wintergruppe
