- frankenstein was the scientist, not the monster, but also, he was totally the monster
Many years ago, Brian David Gilbert and Jonah Scott talked about how most of ABBA's music could be sung by Halloween villains. This year, they turned that 3 minute conversation into a full album.

"To my dearest sister/wife, Elizabeth..."

@@Noperare they're adopted siblings, but yes
Cousin/adopted sister/fiancée would have been more accurate but yeah I loved that that was included
In one edition she’s his orphaned cousin, in another edition she’s a random girl his parents adopted from a poor family for being pretyy
@@voidify3 for being prettier and whiter than the other poor kids, therefore deciding that she deserves to be raised by rich people. That bit was weird to read.
I'm gonna find myself saying "No, Brian David Gilbert was the scientist, you're thinking of Gilbert's Monster"
Intelligence: Frankenstein was the scientist
Wisdom: Frankenstein was the real monster
@@loadeddice4696 How dare you do Brian like that
I mean, no matter the man's charm, playing "God" is dangerous and unwise. But that's too serious of a comment for a Halloween-themed cover of an old Abba song (That lowkey slaps)... which is a sentence I thought I'd never say, but here we are.
Imagine a gothic horror novel called "Gilbert"
Good to have you here, i want to propose to you a new way of looking at it. Dr. Frankenstein was the creature's creator aka its dad, which, legally, would make the creature a Frankenstein. So, looking at it this way, you could argue that the monster is called Frankenstein.
"I can foresee no repercussions to this!"
That's it
That's his character
Congratulations, you have completely killed me.
@@Omnial12 well, on the bright side, you're under a song sung by frankenstein; becoming undead has never been more simple
Not even no NEGATIVE repercussions. No Repercussions at all. He can foresee absolutely nothing
"There's not a soul out there, why not make one in here?" is such a raw line and I can't believe it's from an ABBA parody song about Frankenstein.
Inner positivity - if you're alone, grow yourself
@@bonesawbulk Ah yes the best organic positivity.
@@justalostlocal organic positivity is the only kind I'll eat.
i dont know why youre surprised, abba has some pretty raw lines and their subject matter isnt even sewing a bunch of dead body parts together

So, we're not going to talk about the absolutely amazing composition in which all the instruments are acoustic up until the point the monster is created and everything is taken over by an exclusively digital score????
WOAH
I DIDN’T EVEN REALIZE THAT
I keep replaying that part. There is crack in this I swear
1:23
There's still strings, but I get your point
The reveal that the monster was just a slightly bigger bdg was incredible
And greener
And the monster's "Why did you make me so big? D:" XD
Spoilers bro🤚
Jesus why did you make me ugly snort on the subway (இωஇ )
Larger, greener Brian in a polo shirt, can’t forget the shirt
I don't know why the rhyme of "dig up a grave" with "electrici-tay" is so funny but I laugh every time
Brian knows what he did. He made that Emily Dickinson half rhyme joke in his perfect pokerap speech
@@enkays_den Emily Dickinson, Mary Shelley... it's all led to this.
I love the phrase "every time" here.
Reassures me that I'm not the only one who's listened to this 20 times in the last day and a half.
@@padraiglohan i keep singing to myself, then putting it on, laughing in delight, going about my day. Then singing to myself. Etc etc, repeat ad nauseum. My husband is being driven crazy
It's a clear ref to Matt Berry
I'd like to really formally thank you, Brian, for making this song clean and free of profanity.... because, as an English teacher, it means that I can force my students to listen to this in the name of literary education. Fantastic!
oh to be a teacher playing halloween abba covers in the name of literature
There's... no profanity? In the original?
@@caitomoore2453 the original isn't about frankenstein's monster either...
@@medkip ah yes, Frankenstein, the classic Gothic horror story from the early 19th century known for its swears
Omg- sending this to my English teacher in the name of academics
that sudden high pitch in "mother's DEATTHHHH" was perfection
Mothers deATH???
That detail gave me some strong "He-Man sings 'What's Going On?'"-vibes! (Come to think of it, BDG's whole genre of musical/visual comedy feels like a spiritual successor to that classic video)
The tentative vulnerability of the first "...gimme, gimme, gimme..!" had me on the floor
1:02 im crying
But like, the dance floor
I was barely keeping it together and then "won't somebody help me come and dig up a grave" hit me like a truck
Gimme Gimme Gimme, a cover in just style
It’s just such a fucking raw flex, isn’t it? The song was already funny and clever and a certified bop, it had absolutely no business turning so hauntingly beautiful like that.
"Dear sister/wife"
Me: "What?!"
Me, remembering that Victor married his adopted sister: "Right."
And don't forget the version of the book where she's his cousin
But she wasn't married to him at that point in the story. I sure hope someone got fired for that blunder.
First edition of the book its his half sister
She's his sister yes but also his cousin and wife.
I haven't read the book since high school. Was this supposed to be thematically related, or was it just a symptom of the time in which it was written?
there’s no reason for BDG to be literally the best voice of victor Frankenstein ever, why did it have to be in a halloween themed abba cover?? i mean i’m not complaining, this shit SLAPS.
Put this man in Frankenstein: a new musical and I wouldn't notice the change
@@AdamOfIngolstadtLITERALLY. If you took out the joke at the start and showed someone this as a new addition to the musical nobody would question it
BDG just absolutely flexing his robust falsetto in this piece.
The more i think about it the more i think this whole album is kind of an intentional flex of his voice acting skills, and specifically his ability to sing in different voices. Each of these songs feature characters with distinct and very different voices and styles, and it really shows off his range. I hope it will bring more VA work his way in the future, I’d love to hear him in more things.
@@MemoryOfGravy I hope one day I can be playing some random-ass game and go "What the fuck? Is that Brian?" like already seems to happen with Matt Mercer.
@@voltscreamratty Yes! And I’d love to see him be the special guest star on a whole bunch more KRplus and real-world shows in the same way Matt is, too.

True
This is a plan without flaw nor possibility of error
"What's the worse that can happen?" trope, but make it 18th century 😎
that's it, that's the entire book.
The fact that the "bolts" in the monster's neck are actually Pozidriv screws is brilliant. Say what you will about BDG, but this man knows his IKEA furniture.
This is so funny; thanks for pointing out this Easter egg!!
Put a smile on my face too, Pozidriv are just superior to Phillips in almost every way (still prefer Robertson head fasteners though)
in spite of his substandard molding, i must concede this
I feel like there's some sort of hidden thing in each song. Mummy, Mummy, Mummy was played in ragtime, so that was the easter egg there, this one is the Swedish screws for a Swedish pop band.
the quiet, unsure, slightly out of tempo "gimme gimme gimme" at 1:03 compared to the mad with power, absolutely making a meal out of it "gimme gimme gimme" at 2:14 is just *chefs kiss*
this is my favorite comment on this video
good job
Absolutely
This entire album feels like a Universal movie franchise. It has just enough flair and unironic cheesiness to make it happen. Huge Moulin Rouge vibes.
This is everything the Universal Monster Cinematic Universe wished it would be

It’s almost a gesamtkunstwerk
This album is for the Swedes
The fact the BDG keeps switching between having long hair and being clean shaven, and having short hair and a moustache, is wild, until you remember that he is is own boss
and you can earn 20k a month being your own boss aswell!
This song alone is strong enough to justify a whole horror-themed comedic jukebox musical, the idea of which will keep me awake at night.
Something in the vein of 'The Evil Dead' stage show. I won't be complete til I see that in person. I would love to see BDG do a Frankenstein musical or even some kind of mash up of horror standards as a musical. Fertile ground man.
You're describing rocky horror
kind of like the guy who didnt like musicals
@@brenankean6634 ehhh kind of, except that was all original soundtrack, and part of the draw of a jukebox musical is the new context for familiar songs
facts
“Why have you created me? Just to suffer?” is too raw a line to have come from an ABBA parody
Pretty that's cause it's a reference to mgsv
@@shreddedyeet and ya know... Frankenstein
@@nahometesfay1112 Wait was that also in Frankenstein? I didn't read the book, so Imma look real dumb if it is.
@@shreddedyeet no it's not. Sorry I didn't realize you meant it was literally the words from mgsv. Frankenstein has similarly raw lines tho like "Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust?" And "Cursed, cursed creator! Why did I live? Why, in that instant, did I not extinguish the spark of existence which you had so wantonly bestowed? I know not; despair had not yet taken possession of me" that's what I meant; the line while pretty raw for ABBA is in line with Frankenstein
"I created you to just play the damn fiddle!"
When I showed my dad this song, his initial reaction was "that a deeply emotional song. It's about longing and loneliness. Except for the sister/wife thing. I didn't understand that." SO thank you brain David Gilbert
Lmao the sister/wife thing made me laugh
i mean its true
the book's weird. She's not biologically related to him, but she was an orphan raised by his parents, so they grew up like brother and sister, and, yeah, well, it's weird.
@@rebeccahicks2392could be considered roughly equivalent to step siblings. It’s all weird as you might expect from rich people in that era
the audible question mark at the end of "at the news of mOtHEr's dEATH??" has actually killed me, and now brian david frankenstein can use my corpse to build his creature
What useful parts could you offer to a monster thats already fully composed of BDG?
Miette vibes
@@jimmyisawkward why the fuck did it translate to crumb vibes
"I can see no repercussions to this!" Now that's a Frankenstein line that proves that he's read the book.
The pieces all fall into place when you remember he's got a creative writing degree
Honestly this is my favourite of the album, it adds a completely different mood to the original. The vunerability of that first "gimme, gimme, gimme", the gentle desperation in the voice, it really feels much more lonely, like the desire to create/have a man is not to find a way to cheat death or a way to find love, but a way to end the loneliness.
10/10 BDG, masterpiece
I'm having a difficult time choosing a favorite between this and Lay All Your Blood on Me.
@@SpectralArchivist i think it depends on what you prefer. Gimme Gimme Gimme is better if you want the mood of the song to completely shift to match the tone of the villian, tragic and lonely, whereas Lay All Your Blood on Me matches the tone of the original song perfectly and is also about vampires, with neither detail taking away from the other
@@SpectralArchivist I was literally going to write down the same thing, even though SOS is also pretty good
I showed my 8 year old son this video yesterday. This morning, while he was biking to school, I heard him singing "gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight, won't somebody help come and dig up a grave"... Thanks

We’re currently studying Frankenstein. He really is the actual ‘monster’. Like, he abandoned his kid and then promised him a friend that he then killed.
yes
Yes krplus.net/bidio/oL6Ck4prp6yxnmE
True
Yup, that was Shelley’s point!
Obviously it’s a classic so it’s hardly underrated but man do more people need to read Shelley’s book. The original Universal 30’s film shaped so much of our perception of the characters. How many people know that the Monster is quite well spoken and well read?
Honestly victor is more of a gray charactet tbh
"To my dear sister/wife Elizabeth" Yeah, that detail doesn't make it into a ton of adaptations, does it?
I mean, she was adopted… but she was also his cousin. It’s a complicated relationship.
@@Tlizerz Wait is Frankenstein an anime?
@@loadeddice4696 Honestly, it could be!
For real, though, Junji Ito did a great manga adaptation. I highly recommend it.
@@Tlizerz Oh, thanks for the knowledge, guess that's what I'm reading tonight

"There's not a soul out there/Why not make one in here?" has no business being as raw as it is, holy crap.
I DARE any teacher who teaches Frankenstein to find a better video to get your kids invested in Frankenstein while being true to the plot. 10/10 would definitely show to kids
You'd have to play the song after finishing the book. It contains a big spoiler about the ending.
@@aliciacognevich6144 Teens know how Frankenstein ends, even if they don't know the specifics, and a throwaway line like that will probably just peak their interest. As a teacher, I'm not usually worried about "spoilers" for this kind of classic work that's referenced all the time.
@@perfectapple They know it doesn't end well for Victor, but I've met zero teens who know the creature goes to set himself on fire on a glacier. That's the spoiler I was referring to.
Edit: Most people don't even know the creature could speak. This is a great song though. Drunk History's Frankenstein is also good.

It's incredible how seamlessly this song meshes with the entire plot of Frankenstein. You barely had to add any contextual lines whatsoever!

Do you happen to remember the name of the original song?
@@Queleb1 gimme gimme gimme??
Brian really hit us with a "Why are we here? Just to suffer?" In the last line. Beautiful.
The others are good, but this one? I CANNOT stop listening to it. Seriously, I don't know what we as a species have done to deserve the genius that is BDG. We are not worthy.
SAMEEEE
This one remains my absolute fave of the AAAH!BBA album, for sure. Why is it so good???
I would watch a KRplus series of Brian’s rendition of “Frankenstein” Play. Except the props are household items. Then the final scene on the Iceberg should just be Brian floating away on a ice cooler in the Central Parks lakes.
How much do we have to pay to make this a reality
And every character is played by Brian
An iceberg brand cooler
Wheres the kickstarter?
it should be a broad pastiche of Xanadu though
"Hope I don't light myself on fire on an iceberg later."
This is a masterpiece.
I guffawed at that. Someone's read the book!
"Here I go, out into the woods! I hope I don't light myself on fire on an iceberg later!" made me laugh just as hard as "Why did you make me so big?!" did and the fact that it's being entirely slept on is tragic.
The first round of "gimme gimme gimme" sounding like it came directly from the beginning of a Broadway power ballad should not be as deeply moving as it is

While the whole album’s stellar, I think this might be my favorite. Excellent choice of song to monster, the build up through the first chorus is great, and the digs at Frankenstein are delightful. (‘My dear sister/wife,’ ‘I foresee no repurcussions for this!’ The Creation’s first words being ‘LOVE ME, FATHER!’ and generally being pretty reasonable to Victor’s freakout… glorious.) Definitely belongs on all Music To Be Chased Through A Castle To playlists.

Just the sheer jokes, making fun of Frankenstein, and just pure musical quality of this album (but this song in particular, considering it’s already one of my favorite ABBA songs) is astounding. Thanks for sharing this with us…I’m almost angry I never considered some of these jokes. If this is any metric for how many hilarious pun filled remixes your brain has, I think we all want more of this!
Nobody but BDG could have considered these jokes.
i read the book a little while ago and i’m so glad cos i get the jokes now
I still get a kick out of "Why'd you make me so big?" Every time
Hey bdg, this’ll probably get lost in the comments like most tend to, but just wanted to say thanks for putting out this amusing video. I’ve been dealing with the anticipatory grief that my pet, my best friend, is going to leave me soon and I’ve just been in my personal hell ever since. This song has somehow gotten stuck in head my though, so sometimes itll give me a quick chuckle before I’ll sink back into sadness - it’s thanks to your silly tunes that these periods of grief are slowly becoming smaller while I find my grounding and so I really appreciate it.

It's been 2 years and I'm still reminded of how brilliant this really is. The fact that the electric instruments don't start until the creature is brought to life is incredible.
Finally, a semi-book-accurate Creature ad a very accurate portrayal of their relationship.
I'm writing a speech on how the original 1818 book became lost in portrayal. The references here are just absolutely stunning! (and I'm always a sucker for parody)

@@lordmegatrondoesntdodarken5852 I think you should zag on that and declare the monster Frankenstein's creation. He knows what is good and evil and he gives in to his worst impulses killing innocents to get back at Victor. Van Helsing, as wacky a movie as it was, captured something by portraying the creature as a christ like figure determined to do good in an evil world. The strongest pathos in Mary Shelley's work is that two brilliant caring people destroyed their potential and those around them by fighting against each other.
I remember hearing that the Junji Ito manga was pretty faithful (and fixed the nonsense where Victor didn’t create a second creature due to nonsense fears about it procreating, but instead tries and fails)
This song inspired me to read the actual book.

I was cautiously optimistic that you'd base this on the book instead of the film and I was not disappointed. Thank you sir, there's not enough good Frankenstein content.
this genuinely sounds like it could be a track on a really fun frankenstein musical i won't lie
There is a Frankenstein musical fun fact
As the comments said, ye there is! 2 as far as i can tell. There is one based on the actual book (which is GREAT banger with cool aninatics made by fans. I HIGHLY recommend this one. If u like Jekyll and Hyde then Im sure u would like Frankenstein the Musical. 10/10 one of the best nonbroadway musicals in terms of its music imo.) and there is as the previous comments said, Young Frankenstein. Haven't listened to that one though :/ bc i didnt grow up with the movie so i havent seen it yet.

Spotify needs to know that I am obsessed with these songs
"IT'S ALIVE! MY CREATURE LIVES! HOHOHO! I CAN FORSEE NO REPROCUSSIONS TO THIS! ABSOLUTELY NONE!" I lost my shit. Kudos to you for going with book accurate references rather than just sticking the the pop culture understanding of Frankenstein.
best song on the album. hands down.
please igor, put those hands down we already have so many
I'm a man after midnight staying up to catch the release
Nothing like starting a song with a needed dig at adoptive incest to really set the mood!
Also I keep hearing this and think that the Monster is gonna say "EVERY DAY I READ EMAILS!!!"...Truly a fate worse than iceberg-based self-immolation.
"Dearest sister/wife" hits too hard, but don't forget that they also call each other 'Cousin'
I’m reading Frankenstein now and…why didn’t anyone tell me the monster only speaks French? That’s the best thing I’ve learned in my life.
Yea, Abba and Frankenstein is weirdly a massive throwback to set design.
Why are people liking this incredibly specific thing? I mean go off but WHAT.
this is very good
"*here comes that incredible synth riff*" in the closed captions got me
I'm going to tell my kids, this was the original that inspired the ABBA songs
Absolutely my favorite of the Album with Lay all your blood on me being a close second, I love how he starts full of grief and vulnerable as if begging for his research to pay off with the first gimme gimme gimme and talking hopelessly about how lonely he is, only to get much much more confident once he has succeeded and talking arrogantly about what once issues of solitude by flexing about his ability to play god.
'Gimme Gimme Gimme a MAaAaAAaaAnN after midnight' that first 'man' was just pure bliss
Finally Vic's true talent as Swedish rock superstar given the attention it deserves. Everyone always gets so hung up on undead monster thing
I love that the monster is wearing a polo shirt
This is the #1 cover where I genuinely forget the actual lyrics and always sing these instead XD
