"3's & 7's" is the second single by Queens of the Stone Age from their 2007 album Era Vulgaris. It was released on June 4, 2007 and followed the digital download-only "Sick, Sick, Sick".[1] The single has debuted at number one on the United Kingdom rock chart[2] and at number nineteen on the official UK top 40 singles chart.[3]

"3's & 7's" is featured in Madden 08 and was the very first song announced in music video game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. Additionally, the song — along with Queens of the Stone Age's other songs "Sick, Sick, Sick" and "Little Sister" — appeared as downloadable content for the music video game Rock Band, in a three-song pack, with "Go With the Flow" being featured in the core game. The song also made a brief appearance at the beginning of the second episode of the CW series Reaper.

[edit] Music video

A video for the song was shot in Joshua Tree and directed by Paul Minor, whose previous music promo work included "Starlight" by Muse. After a number of images were placed on photo-sharing website Flickr, the video in its entirety was added to iFilm on September 26, 2007, a full three months after the single's European release. The video itself is a trailer for a fake movie entitled "3's & 7's" and is shot in a similar style to the exploitation films of the 60's and the recent Death Proof by Quentin Tarantino.
