Still thinking of Pulp Fiction. The catchy music in the famous dance scene is a 1964 song from Chuck Berry that reprised its popularity with the movie in 1994. Both events predate the launching of youtube in 2005, and yet, Chuck Berry's song gathers 20.2 million views and the movie scene 26.4 million... I had to double check if the order was not reversed. But guess what?! There's a version of the song that has even more views... 36.9 million with Bruce Springsteen improvising with his band live in concert in Leipzig in 2013. By then things could go viral on social media so 10m more views is not that surprising. Nothing short of remarkable. All of it!

Chuck Berry
You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
They furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale
The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale
But when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
Seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
They bought a souped-up jitney, 'twas a cherry red '53
They drove it down to Orleans to celebrate the anniversary
It was there that Pierre was married to the lovely mademoiselle
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
They drove it down to Orleans to celebrate the anniversary
It was there that Pierre was married to the lovely mademoiselle
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell
