"Feed My Frankenstein" is a song originally written and originally released by British hard rock band Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction for their album Hoodlum Thunder. American singer Alice Cooper covered it on his 19th solo studio album, Hey Stoopid, and released it as a single in May 1992. Its highest chart position as a single was number 27 in the UK. Cooper gained a co-writer credit for his version due to different lyrics from the original.

The song was featured in the 1992 film Wayne's World, in which Cooper performs the song at a concert, and was featured on the film's soundtrack.[3]

Guest appearances on the track include Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Nikki Sixx, and Elvira (Cassandra Peterson).
