Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy (often abbreviated as FGWSSS or simply Frankenstein Girls) is the second studio album by New York City band Mindless Self Indulgence released in 2000. The album is the follow-up to the album Tight. This is the last studio album to feature Vanessa YT on bass guitar.[1]
The track listing on the back cover has all the vowels replaced with asterisks, even in those words that would not generally be considered offensive. They are also listed in alphabetical order.[1][2]
The cover of the album was drawn by Jamie Hewlett, the artist known for Tank Girl and Gorillaz.[1][2] Hewlett offered to make a music video for a song on the album but was rejected by Elektra.
Promo/Advance copies of the album where unmastered and featured slightly different "skit" tracks. They also feature an orchestral intro to "Holy Shit" and do not contain the live performance intro to "Backmask". The digital version of the album available on streaming platforms is one of these promo copies, in contrast to the final CD version.[3]
