Music from the Motion Picture Pulp Fiction is the soundtrack to Quentin Tarantino's 1994 film Pulp Fiction. It contains a mix of rock and roll, surf music, pop and soul, as well as dialogue from the film. Many of the songs on the soundtrack were suggested to Tarantino by musician Boyd Rice through their mutual friend Allison Anders, including Dick Dale's "Misirlou", as has been described on Rice's FAQ page at boydrice.com. The album reached No. 21 on the Billboard 200 and the single, Urge Overkill's cover of the Neil Diamond song, "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon", peaked at No. 59.^[1]
