"Dr. Stein" is a song by German power metal band Helloween.[1][2] Taken from the 1988 album Keeper of the Seven Keys: Part II, the song remains one of the band's most popular songs, and is played live at virtually every Helloween concert. The lyrics are based on the 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus.[3]
A video was shot for the 2010 jazz-style remake of the song on the album Unarmed – Best of 25th Anniversary.[4]
