“Uma Thurman” was the lead single from Fall Out Boy’s 2015 album American Beauty/American Psycho. The song became a major hit for the band, appearing on both the Billboard Rock and Pop charts. It samples The Munsters opening theme, and evokes the star of another work famed by a surf rock theme, Pulp Fiction.

Fall Out Boy explained the song to their fans on Facebook:

Uma Thurman and Winona Ryder, they were these women in pop culture who were quirky, but that made me only crush on them harder. and rather than going with the traditional Uma Thurman role, we thought a lot about Kill Bill and who her character was in that, and this kind of resilience and this violence, but there’s something that’s authentic about it (like a woman taking revenge or being empowered). So that’s what the chorus of the song’s about, and the verses are what you would do to try and capture this woman’s affection.
