Fall Out Boy have paid tribute to Pulp Fiction with new track 'Uma Thurman'. Listen below.
"This was a fun song to write," Pete Wentz said of the track, "originally, when we came up with the idea, and there was this sample in it, which is a sample from The Munsters TV show, people kept saying "oh cool, like Quentin Tarantino, cool" when we played it. We decided why don't we kind of create this world around that?"

"To me, 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."
Fall Out Boy's new album American Beauty/American Psycho will be released worldwide on 20 January. To mark the occasion, Fall Out Boy will be launching the album at Islington Assembly Hall in London on Wednesday 14 January. Buy tickets here.
