The Centurians, 1963. Solo by *The Centurians*.

A driving minor-key lead that also appears on the Pulp Fiction soundtrack.

Bullwinkle Part II is a driving, minor-key surf instrumental with a dark, urgent edge. The lead guitar hammers out the melody with rapid picking and a thick layer of reverb, giving the tune a sense of speed and tension. The rhythm section keeps a relentless pace underneath, and the whole track feels like it is racing toward something. Its appearance on the Pulp Fiction soundtrack introduced it to a new generation of listeners. Listen for the insistent, repeated picking that drives the lead line, and notice how the minor-key melody gives the tune a slightly menacing feel that sets it apart from the sunnier side of surf music.
