Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy is the third studio album by American electronic rock band Mindless Self Indulgence released in 2000. This is their last studio album to feature Vanessa YT on bass guitar.
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. "Bitches" was the album's sole single release and prominently featured a sample of the opening riff to the Siouxsie and the Banshees song, "Happy House." The song credits Siouxsie Sioux and Steven Severin as writing partners due to the use of the sample. A single for the track "Planet of the Apes" was released as a promotional CD only.
Promo/Advance copies of the album were unmastered and featured slightly different one letter "skit" tracks. They also feature an orchestral intro to "Holy Shit" and do not contain the live performance intro to "Backmaskwarning!". The streaming version of the album available on streaming platforms is one of these promo copies, in contrast to the final CD version.
