Dragula - Rob Zombie

Artist: Rob Zombie
Song: Dragula
Year: 1998
Album: Hellbilly Deluxe

This was a favorite to play when I would DJ at a vampire LARP. Anything with references to horror or goth were particularly popular. I can remember spinning this song almost every night that I worked. It was a huge hit when the club opened up and continued to be a favorite, until my last night there.

The video is a bit disjointed, but it looks fun. The band members seem to be having a wonderful time acting out horror fantasies and dressing in costumes. "Dragula" is a fun little song that gets a lot of play around Halloween.

The title is actually from the Munsters television show. "Dragula" was the family car. There are shots of a car similar to the family car in the video itself. That just makes the whole spectacle a bit more fun. You can see a flair for Rob Zombie's directing in each of his videos. He would hone that skill to make the leap to a successful movie director.

I'll play this song and many other on Halloween night to frighten the kids who come to the door. Usually, they aren't very frightened and they end up rocking out a little on the porch.

Lyrics:
(Spoken)Superstition, now add Jealousy.

Dead, I am the one Exterminating son
Slipping through the trees strangling the breeze
Dead I am the sky, watching angels cry
While they slowly turn, conquering the worm

Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my
Dragula!

Dig through the ditches
And Burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my
Dragula!

Dead I am the pool, spreading from the fool
Weak and what you need, nowhere as you bleed
Dead I am the rat, feast upon the cat
Tender is the fur, dying as you purr

Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my
Dragula!

Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my
Dragula!

Do it baby, Do it baby
Do it baby, Do it baby
Burn like an animal

Dead I am the life, dig into the skin
Knuckle crack the bone, 21 to win
Dead I am the dog, hound of hell you cry
Devil on your back, I can never die

Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my
Dragula!

Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my
Dragula!

Do it baby, Do it baby
Do it baby, Do it baby
Burn like an animal

Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my
Dragula!

Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my
Dragula!

Dig through the ditches
And burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my
Dragula!
