Monsters Love Reggie and the Full Effect (and They Hate Bruno Mars) in the Video for "37"

It’s the “Monster Mash” for a new generation.

It’s been 42 years since the monsters of “Monster Mash” kept their evil in check for long enough to party. It’s been 31 years since Michael Jackson’s zombies danced through the streets in “Thriller.” But monsters have been quiet on the music-front lately. Surely, monsters have been making new music over the last three decades, right? Why haven’t we had any new monster jams over the last three decades? Enter Reggie and the Full Effect, the long-running weirdo project led by James Dewees of The Get Up Kids. On the Effect’s new video for “37,” some monsters team up and make a long overdue monster anthem that can be enjoyed by both humans and monsters alike. Finally, a new monster song we can all enjoy. Except for Bruno Mars. Fuck that guy. “37” is off of Reggie and the Full Effect’s most recent album, No Country for Old Musicians. But if you’re one of those people who likes the older material, Effect will be on tour performing Under the Tray… along with Say Anything who will be playing Is a Real Boy… and Saves the Day, who will be playing Through Being Cool, which we can tell you from firsthand experience, is a party. Dates below.
