"Dr. Stein" is a song by the German power metal band Helloween.[1][2] Taken from the 1988 album Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 2, 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]
