death proof | Le Butin

Can’t get enough of this song lately. When Death Proof first came out, I obviously latched onto The Coaster’s Down In Mexico for obvious reasons – that must be one of the coolest scenes in any movie ever, so the song kind of stuck, but this gem is by far my favourite on the soundtrack. I love old 60s surf rock, so these guys get my vote for epic tunes. It’s funny that Jungle Julia supposedly explains so much about the band in Death Proof, but most of her info is completely wrong, she even got their name wrong – gotta love Tarantino.

Ah, of course this is a great song for a Friday. Originally written by Burt Bacharach, Luther Dixon and Mack David, this song recently found a lot of acclaim again because Adele sang it at the Grammy’s and also because it was used in the famous Peroni La Dolce Vita film.
