This song is about the dangerous tendency to disregard your own ethical values, just to be obedient.
"Milgram's 37" refers to the experiment, in a series of experiments of psychologist Stanley Milgram, with the worst results. In this case 37 of 40 participants went to the full extent of the experiment, and delivered (without knowing fake) electric shocks to another Test-Subject (who was indeed an actor, btw.) without stopping when the Subject begged for mercy.
This was a sing-along-song in many concerts (see the irony?).
