"Strawberry Letter 23"
Written by Shuggie Otis
Performed by Brothers Johnson

Hello, my love
I heard a kiss from you
Red magic satin playing near, too

All through the morning rain
I gaze - the sun doesn't shine -
Rainbows and waterfalls run through my mind

In the garden - I see west
Purple shower, bells and tea
Orange birds and river cousins dressed in green

Pretty music I hear - so happy
And loud - blue flower echo
From a cherry cloud

Feel sunshine sparkle pink and blue
Playgrounds will laugh
if you try to ask
Is it cool?, is it cool?

If you arrive and don't see me
I'm going to be with my baby
I am free - flying in her arms, over the sea

Stained window, yellow candy screen
See speakers of kite - with velvet roses diggin' freedom flight

A present from you - Strawberry letter 22
The music plays, I sit in for a few

Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...

(A present from you - Strawberry letter 22

"Baby Love"
Music by Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier
Lyrics by Lamont Dozier, Eddie Holland (as Edward Holland Jr.)
Performed by The Supremes

Ooh baby love, my baby love
I need you, oh how I need you
But all you do is treat me bad
Break my heart and leave me sad
Tell me, what did I do wrong
To make you stay away so long

'Cause baby love, my baby love
Been missing ya, miss kissing ya
Instead of breaking up
Let's do some kissing and making up
Don't throw our love away
In my arms why don't you stay
Need ya, need ya
Baby love, ooh, baby love

Baby love, my baby love
Why must we seperate, my love
All of my whole life through
I never loved no one but you
Why you do me like you do
I get this need

Ooh, ooh, need to hold you
Once again, my love
Feel your warm embrace, my love
Don't throw our love away

Please don't do me this way
Not happy like I used to be
Loneliness has got the best of me
My love, my baby love

I need you, oh how I need you
...
(Why you do me like you do
After I've been true to you
So deep in love with you

Baby, baby, ooh 'til it's hurtin' me
'Til it's hurtin' me
Ooh, baby love
Don't throw our love away
Don't throw our love away)

Probably the coolest execution in a movie ever!

[Sotnas]

Tarantino's best movie. At least in my opinion, anyways.

[PhattyMo]

Poor Beaumont.

[cmealy2011]

The best scene of the movie. Sam Jackson is too cool man!!

[MrMoydy]

@richie1905 i totally agree. samuel l. jackson is too "cool fo' skool fool" lol

[RazielFallenAngel]

@Sotnas I hardly disagree. Even if it sounds typical, traditional or even the stereotype, Pulp Fiction is greater.

[notforvideos]

@VegasTech702 Same.

[VegasTech702]

@Sotnas I still think that Pulp Fiction but I will say that Jackie Brown is a close second. IMHO

[LordRuckus]

One of the best soundtracks of all time.

[SuperSKYHAWK777]
