Director Quentin Tarantino has a knack for picking superb backing tracks for his films, and the soundtrack to his bold debut, Reservoir Dogs, is no exception.

Nestled between Steven Wright’s sad-sack song announcements is the disc’s opening tune, the George Baker Selection’s “Little Green Bag,” a shuffling groove with a faux-tropical melody line that’s hard to shake, followed by Blue Swede’s candy-coated pop gem “Hooked on a Feeling,” with its unmistakable ‘hooga-chakka’ intro.
