What does _The Munsters_ theme song have to do with Uma Thurman? ---

The mention of Uma Thurman in that Fall Out Boy song is like the mention of Michelle Pfeiffer in Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk” - just an offhand mention showing that the singer thinks that that actress is really hot. ---

Forget it **furryman** , it’s _Fallout Boy_. I don’t know if there’s any particular story or meaning to it, just some slick lyrics with a smattering of pop references; The Munsters, Pulp Fiction, CK Eternity, etc. The “she” in question wants to be fierce like Uma.
