You know that 50s or 60s sounding guitar song (don't know if there are any lyrics) that you hear sometimes, mostly in movies to establish a 50s atmosphere or an old diner scene or something (I think maybe it was played in Pulp Fiction during the scene where Travolta and Thurman are at that club/restaurant)? It's just three chords played every couple of measures or so, kinda slowly, with the third chord played on the downbeat and held for a while until the next chord. I can play it in my head, but I can't figure out what the chords are on my guitar, and it's driving me nuts. Anyone know what song I'm talking about?

Every time someone mentions pulp fiction music, I immediately think Dick Dale.
If it really even was in that scene in PF, I don't know if it could considered part of the soundtrack or whatever. I think it was just played in the background, like on the jukebox.
-edit
just listened to some Dick Dale songs, an entire 'best of' album actually. It does sound like that kind of music, although obviously slower.
