Rob Zombie - Dragula

"Dragula" was Rob Zombie's first solo single, the lead track to come off his debut album Hellbilly Deluxe in August 1998, and it is still the song people mean when they say his name. He wrote and produced it with Scott Humphrey, who also engineered and mixed it, and the whole thing roars like a hot rod built out of a horror-movie prop box. The title comes from DRAG-U-LA, the drag racer from The Munsters, and it opens on a snatch of Christopher Lee dialogue sampled from The City of the Dead, a horror picture from 1960.

It's also his best seller, past 717,000 copies in the US by 2010. The original single carried a big beat remix by Charlie Clouser called "Hot Rod Herman", named for the Munsters episode, and the song has been all over games, films and TV since.
