Director Quentin Tarantino insisted on using an eclectic assortment of songs by various artists for this notorious soundtrack.

Notable songs include: Dick Dale's now-iconic rendition of 'Misirlou', which is played during the opening credits; Urge Overkill's cover of the Neil Diamond song 'Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon'; and Dusty Springfield's version of 'Son of a Preacher Man'.
