Pete Wentz talked about how the American Beauty/American Psycho track came about and its Pulp Fiction roots, reported Billboard.
"We had the tracks done, and we were playing them to people, and people kept saying, 'Oh, Pulp Fiction' or, 'Oh, Dick Dale.' That's what they thought the sampling of the Munsters theme sounded like. Like this surfy guitar idea," said Wentz.
"Because of that, we were like, why don't we write something that's in the Quentin Tarantino world? And then the Uma Thurman melody idea came up.
Despite asking permission, Wentz isn't sure whether Thurman is a fan of the track, admitting, "I don't know how she really feels about the song, but she's okay about naming it 'Uma Thurman', which is cool.
