"3's and 7's" was the second single off Era Vulgaris, following the download-only "Sick, Sick, Sick" out the door in June 2007, and it's Queens of the Stone Age at their most strutting and streamlined. Josh Homme handles vocals, bass, electric piano and a share of the guitar, Troy Van Leeuwen lays slide on top, and the tune, credited to the two of them with Joey Castillo, rolls like a muscle car idling at a red light. Homme produced it with Chris Goss, and Alain Johannes recorded and mixed it.
Paul Minor shot the video in Joshua Tree as the trailer for a trashy fake movie, all 1960s exploitation-flick grime by way of Grindhouse; the first cut had full-frontal nudity and was swapped for a clean one. In Britain it entered the rock and metal chart at number one and the main singles chart at 19.
