Pulp Fiction Theme

"Misirlou" is a traditional folk song originating from the Eastern Mediterranean region, widely recognized today as the opening theme from the film Pulp Fiction. Its roots trace back to the 1920s, when Arabic, Greek, and Jewish musicians were already performing it across multiple cultural traditions. For electric guitar players, the song is a compelling study in surf rock tone and picking speed, built around a single-string descending run that is instantly recognizable and highly satisfying to learn.

  • The earliest known recording dates to 1927, performed as a Greek rebetiko and tsifteteli composition.
  • The melody has been adapted into Arabic, Armenian, Turkish, Persian, Indian, Serbian, and Albanian musical traditions.
  • The song's single-string melodic line makes it an excellent exercise for alternate picking technique on electric guitar.
