"Dragula" is a song co-written and recorded by American musician Rob Zombie. It was released in August 1998 as the lead single from his solo debut Hellbilly Deluxe. Since its release it has become Zombie's most recognizable song as a solo artist. It is also his best-selling song, and had sold over 717,000 copies in the U.S. by 2010. The song is based on the drag racer "DRAG-U-LA" featured in the sitcom The Munsters.
The audio clip "superstition, fear and jealousy" at the beginning of the song is from the film Horror Hotel, and is spoken by Christopher Lee.
The song also appears on Rob Zombie's Past, Present & Future, the greatest hits album The Best of Rob Zombie. The original single featured a big beat remix of the song by Charlie Clouser, entitled the "Hot Rod Herman" remix (in reference to the Munsters episode), which is contained on American Made Music to Strip By (under the name Si Non Oscillas, Noli Tintinnare Mix), and appears in the film Idle Hands. A remix version appeared in theThe Matrix and its soundtrack. Additionally, it is featured on the soundtracks for the video games Twisted Metal 4, Jet Grind Radio, Sled Storm (1999), Gran Turismo 2 and in the 2012 game Twisted Metal.
