There are few more exciting ways to start a film than Dick Dale's iconic guitar solo, which perfectly set up the rollercoaster ride that was to come - and did it in style. Originally a Mediterranean folk song, the song gained worldwide popularity when Dick Dale recorded a surf-rock version in 1962, and again when the Black Eyed Peas sampled the tun...
Not content with just one iconic opening credits song, Tarantino served us a second only halfway through Misirlou - transitioning us from the '60s to the '70s, keeping the excitement going but adding a bit of funk. The song is not quite as symbolic of Pulp Fiction as its predecessor but has remained popular on its own terms, and has been sampled by...
Strawberry Letter #23 was originally written and composed by Shuggie Otis in 1971, but it was the 1977 cover by funk and R&B band The Brothers Johnson that really blew up. The song reached number five on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and number one on the US Soul Singles Chart, and was even pressed on a red strawberry scented vinyl. The song did f...
Al Green's signature song plays when Marcellus Wallace tells Butch Coolidge to throw his boxing match, with the camera focused firmly on Bruce Willis and his reaction - certainly an ironic choice given where the film takes the two characters. Green initially was not keen on the song and its gentle vocals, but shot straight to number one on the US B...
Playing while Vincent procures heroin from Lance, you can practically hear the ocean in this 1962 offering from California surf band The Tornadoes. Complete with breezy whammy bar effects and no unnecessary vocals, it's easy to see why surf rock made a comeback off Pulp Fiction's success. Listen on Spotify
On the Collectors Edition DVD of Pulp Fiction, Quentin Tarantino can be quoted saying that he probably would have not filmed this scene where Vincent speaks to Mia over the intercom had he not been able to use the Dusty Springfield classic - that's how important this song was to the sequence. It paid off, as Son of a Preacher Man received renewed p...
The easy-going surf sax Bullwinkle Part II is famous for contrasts rather heavily with the scene it accompanies in Pulp Fiction, in which we see a close up of blood pouring into a syringe as Vincent takes drugs. Bullwinkle Part II has become the best-known work of The Centurions, a California surf rock band from the '50s and '60s who reformed in 19...
Jack Rabbit Slims is a clear throwback to clubs of the '50s and '60s, and Tarantino appropriately enough kicks off the scene with two rockabilly songs by 1950s heartthrob Ricky Nelson. However this first track is a cover performed by Gary Shorelle - which does not feature on any release of the film's soundtrack and was never commercially released, ...
Playing as Mia Wallace orders a shake at the restaurant with Vincent, this 1958 hit was sung by then-teenage heartthrob Ricky Nelson. It has since been covered by everyone from Paul McCartney to Jason Donovan - as well as instrumental rock band The Ventures, who will also pop up again on this list. The song is also featured in Heroes in fourth seas...
The retro rock and roll continues at Jack Rabbit Slims as 1950s icon Link Wray plays as Mia and Vincent continue their conversation. As with Waitin' On School, Ace of Spades has not been included in any of the Pulp Fiction soundtrack releases - though Link Wray would eventually be included in the 2002 Collector's Edition for the very next track in ...
