Dick Dale and The Deltones – Misirlou from 1963
Read Time:25 Second
Dick Dale, along with his Deltones, made the tune Misirlou famous in the 1963 movie “A Swinging Affair” which you can tell from the video that’s exactly what it was.
Dick Dale has been called the King of Surf Music and the father of Heavy Metal. His insistence on playing very loud guitar music was not the norm in 1963.
MMA will NOT offer a trip to Hawaii if you can name the movies this tune has been associated with.

I could be wrong, but wasn’t that one of the music backgrounds from Kill Bill. Diffidently a Tarentino film though.
As a card carrying member of all things metal, I must salute the genius of Mr. Dale. Speed man, speed.
Dick Dale was always under-rated. Lotsa talent that went unnoticed for wayyyy too long.
Spot on Sepp, he was a pioneer in several ways. He worked closely with Leo Fender to get more volume without blowing out his amps.
