Dracula's Wedding
Outkast · Speakerboxxx/The Love Below [2003]
[verse 1 (Andre 3000)]
You're all i've ever wanted, but i'm terrified of you
My castle may be haunted, but i'm terrified of you
I've cast my spell on millions, but i'm terrified of you
Baby i do this from the ceiling, but i'm terrified of you
[bridge]
I wait my whole life to bite the right one
Then you come along and that freaks me out
So i'm frightened..(oh!).....Dracula's wedding
[Verse 2]
I've never ran from no one, but i'm terrified of you
See my heartbeat is a slow one, but i'm terrified of you
I've been around for ages, but i'm terrified of you
Put my fang across the stage, but yet i'm terrified of you
[Bridge]
(You know im terrified) x3
(shhhh here she comes)
[Kelis]
(Van Helsing) x4
Give me a chance to dance romance
Don't run, I'm not the sun
So much at stake...... oh! bad choice of words
But i'm not the gun, with silver bullets
And i can count (1 2 3), plus i make great peanut butter
And jelly sandwiches.... Van Helsing
For richer or poorer, through sickness and in health,
Till death do us part, till death do us part
You only live once, well not in our case, cause we live forever
You're all i've ever wanted, but i'm terrified of you
My castle may be haunted, but i'm terrified of you
I've cast my spell on millions, but i'm terrified of you
Baby i do this from the ceiling, but i'm terrified of you
[bridge]
I wait my whole life to bite the right one
Then you come along and that freaks me out
So i'm frightened..(oh!).....Dracula's wedding
[Verse 2]
I've never ran from no one, but i'm terrified of you
See my heartbeat is a slow one, but i'm terrified of you
I've been around for ages, but i'm terrified of you

Dracula's Wedding
Outkast's 'Dracula's Wedding' stands as a haunting centerpiece on their 2003 double album, Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. The track blends Southern hip-hop with gothic horror aesthetics, reflecting the duo's unique ability to merge genre boundaries. Produced by the group's signature sound, the recording features a brooding atmosphere that complements Big Boi's and Dre's distinct vocal styles. Released during the height of the Southern Hip-Hop movement, the song exemplifies the album's experimental spirit and remains a defining work in their discography. Its enduring appeal lies in its atmospheric production and the seamless integration of dark themes into a rap context.
