Fall Out Boy let "Uma Thurman" loose in January 2015, the fifth track they leaked out ahead of American Beauty/American Psycho, and it's a gloriously shameless bit of pop magpie work: the theme music from the 1960s TV series The Munsters, sampled and flipped into a swagger, under a starry-eyed tribute to the actress from Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill.
Jake Sinclair produced it and Mark "Spike" Stent mixed it, and the result went straight to the top of the US iTunes chart on arrival, climbed to 22 on the Hot 100 and was double platinum by the end of the year. Its video took Best Rock Video at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards, and the band played it in a Pepsi commercial that premiered during the 57th Grammys.
