Another video where Frankenstein makes an appearance is in "Wrack My Brain". At one point Ringo's playing cards with the Mummy, Frankenstein and Dracula. Dracula lays down a couple of tarot cards--it looks to me like "The Fool" and "The Star". His wife Barbara plays a zombie. Then at the end they're all sitting around a table which has on it a brain in a jar. Anyway, pretty interesting lyrics too, actually written by George Harrison and you can hear his influence on guitar. youtube.com/watch?v=J_xEAJL_v3EBy George Harrison WRACK MY BRAIN, WRACK MY BRAIN,
TILL MY HEAD'S FILLED WITH PAIN,
WRACK MY BRAIN.
ALL DRIED UP, I'M ALL DRIED UP,
ALL I HAVE'S THIS EMPTY CUP,
ALL DRIED UP.
WHAT I HAVE, YOU DON'T WANT,
WHAT YOU WANT, I CAN'T GIVE.
I GOT OUT OF TOUCH WITH YOU AND YOURS,
THE WAY THAT YOU LIVE.
I TRY TO DO MY BEST FOR YOU,
WHILE THE SKY POURS DOWN THE RAIN,
WRACK MY BRAIN.
WITH A WILL THERE'S A WAY,
BUT THERE'S NO WAY I CAN SEE,
COMING UP WITH SOMETHING YOU'D ENJOY
AS MUCH AS TV
ALL THE SAME, I PLAY THE GAME,
UP AND DOWN OLD MEMORY LANE,
WRACK MY BRAIN, (wrack my brain)
TILL MY HEAD IS FILLED WITH PAIN,
WRACK MY BRAIN, (wrack my brain)
WHILE I SLOWLY GO INSANE,
WRACK MY BRAIN. (wrack my brain) |

Strangley enough, the album "Stop and Smell the Roses" would have kinda been a semi-Beatle reunion. Sir. Paul did 3 songs, George did a few, and John did Nobody Told Me and Life Begins at 40 but then he got shot and so Ringo didn't record the songs.
For some reason the album is $80+ on Amazon.com

hmm I've still got a copy of STOP AND SMELLL THE ROSES.
80$ very tempting to put it up for sale
However like I always say , the best way to keep something secret is to record it on a Ringo (or Yoko) album.
All Love Jan
(EDIT, wait a second what's the dollar doing these days? 80$ eeehh about 8 Euros, no thanks...j/k)

John was Frankenstein in the Yellow Submarine film. He is approached by Ringo and Fred...  Then he drinks a potion and transforms into his normal self. |

Wrack My Brain sounds like George wrote it about John.

DarkHorse, I agree. I have read that John watched alot of TV the last few years of his life.  |

There has been some discussion about whether or not Ringo is of Semitic descent. Well I can't say, but in that Boogaloo video he sure looks like a rabbi to me.  -j |
