I don't recall any Russian folk songs in anime. Any clue what type of anime? I think I've heard every type of music EXCEPT Russian folk in anime. I could be wrong though.

Or is it more of the "Pulp Fiction theme (Dick Dale) sounds like orthodox jewish music" kinda comparison?

Grrr, it's a pet peeve of mine, but for whatever reason i don't like when people think that this song is just from the movie. It's actually called "Misirlou" by a man called dick dale from waaay back in '62.

Personally I thought his performance was a bit shaky.


Probably can blow Dick Dale out of the water now...

It's called Misirlou and is by Dick Dale and his Del-Tones.... way before Pulp Fiction.

Dick Dale is really one of those guys whose Wikipedia article you read and then feel slightly inferior.

Pretty cool, but I was WAY more impressed by the Dick Dale video as posted by Sheppard up there... THAT's some guitar playin'

Is it me or is Dick Dale playing the guitar upside-down?


He's a lefty. From Wikipedia:

"Since Dale was left-handed he was initially forced to play a right-handed model, much like Jimi Hendrix would do a few years later. However, he did so without restringing the guitar, leading him to effectively play the guitar upside-down (while Hendrix would restring his guitar) and often plays by reaching over the fretboard rather than wrap his fingers up from underneath. Even after he acquired a proper left-handed guitar, Dale continued to use his reverse stringing."
