The title comes from the name of Grandpa Munster's car, DRAG-U-LA, on the classic TV show The Munsters, which ran from 1964-1966. The car was built around a coffin and made for speed. Rob Zombie used the macabre Munsters approach to create a car song with a horror aesthetic. Dragula destroys all in its path.
I had such high hopes for his Munsters movie.....but from the previews and reviews, it doesn't look good. The way Sheri Moon Zombie plays Lily, I don't think she's seen a single episode. The actor who plays Grandpa did a good job, but I think the movie missed the mark.
This is one of his best. One of the things I love about Rob Zombie is his sense of humor. A lot of people take him way too seriously. (This song was featured in the film "The Matrix", though the version they used is the one from the album "American Music to Strip By". It's a bit raunchier than this one, if you can believe that!) :) As Metal Mark said, Dragula was the name of Grandpa Munster's car. Rob is a HUGE Munsters fan. He just produced a new film of their adventures. :)
Rob Zombie is a fun artist to get into... he's got the macabre theatrics of Alice Cooper, fused w/ a sound that's 70's disco and punk rock blended together w/ electronic samples. His previous band White Zombie scored MTV hits in the 90's like - 'More human than human' ... 'Thunder kiss 65' 🤘🤘🔥🔥 He went solo in 1998 w/ the album 'Hellbilly deluxe'... that produced MTV hits like 'Living dead girl'... 'Superbeast'. Rob Zombie next album in 2001 ('The sinister urge') also delivered hits like - 'Never gonna stop'... 'Feel so numb'.
Wife here..WOW..Haven't heard this in awhile!!..You both hit the nail on the head as usual.., It's about the Munsters car.., the Dragula.., Also a Darker feel as music like this became Popular Goth Rock .., (Dance Music at the time)..Burning that extra 500"..I hear ya!!!
This is my second fav from him. Please check out his song Living Dead Girl! It's my favorite one!! Glad you loved this energy and his music! Great reaction as always!! Thank you!! Much love and blessings. ❤️❤️🔥🔥
Whoo-hoo, Rob is awesome, saw him at an Ozzfest in the late 90s, he blew the place away with heavy groove that would not quit. Unreal concert with a reformed, original Black Sabbath as the headliner, with Rob, Slayer, Godsmack, System of a Down, amongst others, as support acts. The Power and the Glory of Heavy Rock was on display that day and night, my head rang for days. Try Superbeast, another banger from Rob. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
If you liked that, Living Dead Girl, More Human Than Human, and Thunder Kiss '65 need to go on the "to-do" list for sure! Lol. Would also recommend his movies since you guys are doing those types of reviews... especially since Halowwen is approaching, however not sure if you'd actually want to go down that road.... also, not sure if it would even be "youtubeable" 😆
Great reaction! I always feel like a can take on the world when listening to this song. I'd be hulk-smashing left and right ::smash:: ::smash:: ::smash:: Like Ronny on Jersey Shore yelling "COME AT ME, BRO!", hulk-smashing, world take-on. That's normal, right?
Rob is all about camp horror, and by all accounts he's a super nice guy. As a general rule, the scariest rock personas are the nicest guys irl. Kinda like "heels" in pro wrestling.
Awe,you need to watch the official version! It's so much fun!! Also,you would like "Feel So Numb",on their CD Sinister Urge. Oh,..and th song "House of a Thousand Corpses" will send chills down your spine. Lol.
used to listen to this song when i wanted to be pumped up lol. 20+ yrs later, this is the first time that i remember actually paying attn to the lyrics 🤣
Y'all need to watch offcial video of this song to not only see Rob Zombie but also see his wife Baby. Her name is Sheri Moon Zombie but she started out as his video girl and also did Living Dead Girl. I recommend y'all watch Living Dead Girl if haven't already. Official video of course!!
Now that you’re a Rob Zombie fan you need a poster of him on the wall behind you. I see there is an empty spot right beside Dolly Parton. Perfect spot!
My dude right here. I saw him when the Bronco Bowl still did concerts, early 2000s if memory serves. His horror movies are freaking amazing and his old lady plays the best crazy b**tch ever.
3:42 😅 I once went to the local pool and there was a heap of old people doing water aerobic exercises to a remix of Disturbed's version of Land of Confusion. I don't think I'd ever been so confused in my life.
I’m sure it’s been mentioned but Dragula is a hot rod from the ‘60 from ‘the Munsters’ movie. It’s grandpa munsters car that Herman drove in a race overseas. You’ve got to believe- watch the video! It’s the coolest wildest video I can think of! It somehow matches the song and Rob perfectly! Ok thanks you two, appreciate that you do some good songs…. Matt
It's Dragula with a G. Dragula was the name of Herman Munster's car from the series back in the 60s called the munsters.. It was a dragster souped up monster car. And I mean Monster not the kind of monster trucks you see on tv.
I used to have the music video DVD with all the music videos from the album and the music CD. He has a bunch of cool music videos that y'all need to check out.
Perfect Halloween song guys! This would be the perfect song for the movie "The Craft." Sidney Prescott aka Neve Campbell from "Scream" is in it. Fairuza Balk and Robin Tunney are in it too as well as Sidney's boyfriend from "Scream." Other Rob Zombie songs: Living Dead Girl, Superbeast. Rob was known for making the coolest animatronic-like figures on stage at his concerts. He directed a few horror films too.
Dracula + dragster = Dragula! I saw him live on Halloween night years ago. he had clips of classic monster movies on a large screen behind him while performing. He's nuts!
You guys might never know this, in the movie "The Matrix" when Neo was in the club where he met Trinity for the 1st time this song was playing in the club
You guys should check out more Rob Zombie, check out his band White Zombie, they had some lit 🔥 songs, also check out Bodies by Drowning Pool and Click Click Boom by Saliva, if yall liked Dragula you will like the others 😉
I Freakin Love Black people, yes I said Black people respect and enjoy music like this. Rob Zombie is So freakin Amazing!!!! I love that we can "All just truly get along!!!" Can we please play this and March to the capital with us all, blacks, whites, Asians, indians, all y'all to Washington DC!! To prove we are all in it together!!!
Love this song!! The reason you don’t know what Dragula is because you didn’t watch the official video and aren’t old enough to have seen the Munsters!!😂. The Dragula is grandpa Munsters Hot-Rod car made out of an 1870’s carriage coffin! It’s real and it’s BADASS 🤘🤘🔥🔥 watch the official vid and you’ll see it
This Rob Zombie track just reminds me of spring/summer '99 and playing The Matrix soundtrack (and Rob Dugan's sick "Clubbed to Death" track as well) nonstop after watching The Matrix like 24 times in cinemas from April to August lol...oh and fitting react for Halloween October month, Mr. Zombie made his Dragula movie eventually The Munsters.
I have to watch my speed when this comes on in the car. You have to go back and watch this video. It has the dragula(car) from the show The Munsters in it. His song Living Dead Girl is good. Also Sweet Dreams by Marilyn Manson is good. Watch the video.
I used to know what film the line "Superstition, Fear and Jealousy" came from but for the life of me I can't remember. If anyone knows please refresh my memory!
