Pulp Fiction Theme

From an absolute masterpiece of cinema, there couldn't be a more beautiful, more pulp soundtrack than this.

Indeed, the splendid soundtrack that accompanies this masterpiece with a Tarantino stamp contains tracks that make you move, tracks that make you want to dance embraced with your girl, tracks that make you want to point a gun at someone... The characteristic of Tarantino's movie soundtracks is that they are mostly composed of 70s or so songs recovered and attached to the film: the result, as always, is something grand.

You start with "Misirlou", which is the true anthem of this film; listening to it makes you want to clap your hands, grab a gun, and go rob a diner! Then follows a dialogue between Vincent and Jules about the differences between Europe and America: spectacular!! The third track is a... boogie, the piece is called "Jungle Boogie" and makes you want to dance and unleash: one of the most engaging pieces of the album... beautiful beautiful beautiful. With the fourth track instead, we go in search of a girl, we embrace her and together we sing "Let's Stay Together" by Al Green; this piece is suitable for a candlelight dinner or the like: recommended for romantics. "Bustin' Surfboards" is an instrumental track that seems to bring us back to American surf atmospheres, here too we are faced with a gem written by the Tornados. "Lonesome Town" is a very intimate piece, very Elvis, so we recover our girl, we hold her tightly and dance to the very slow rhythm of this piece written by Ricky Nelson (is he our Elvis?). The seventh track is "Son Of A Preacher Man", not very lively but it is still an atmospheric piece that deserves more than one listen, the horn section in this piece is simply stunning!! We then have a dialogue between Buck and his girl followed by a piece by the Centurians, an instrumental track; listening to it makes you want to grab a nice Harley and race through the city at full speed! And then it's the turn of the album's jewel, namely that "You Never Can Tell" so famous from the Pavesini commercial but owes its resurgence to Tarantino: in this case, we take our girl, make her wear a black wig, we wear a beautiful long-haired wig tied in a ponytail, kick off our shoes and start dancing (trying to avoid the de Filippi and Travolta mess). Then it's the turn of "Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon", a nice piece, very passionate, that makes its mark in this compilation: be careful not to end up like Mia Wallace when you listen to this piece!! "If Love Is A Red Dress" reminds us that we need to reclaim our girl for a new slow dance by candlelight... contrasting this is "Comanche", which makes me want to punch someone, beat them to a pulp, and then escape through the city stained with blood!! A piece that gives a lethal charge!! "Flowers On The Wall" sounds like a piece by Simon & Gurfunkel, and takes me back to the movies of Bud Spencer and Terence Hill. We then have another dialogue between Vincent & Jules... about meat!! Then it's the turn of the beautiful "Surf Rider" that closes the film but not the compilation, which closes with the beautiful, epic monologue by Jules on the Bible and the famous Ezekiel 25:17...

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee
