Quentin Tarantino's musical choices for "Pulp Fiction" were brilliant and as unexpected as everything else in the movie.
The Lively Ones were a surf rock band active in Southern California in the 1960s. Their 1963 hit "Surf Rider" (written by Nokie Edwards from The Ventures) was used in the final sequence of Quentin Tarantino's film "Pulp Fiction."

The song lays an immediate hook on you and it works. I wasn't a huge fan of surf rock as it was being hammered by the British invasion about the same time we came from Australia. It's interesting to hear it now and discover why people found it captivating.
Getting off on guitar bands like this one or The Ventures is usually a secret pleasure for people but many must sample it for so many of their videos to be online after all these years.
