Synopsis

Urge Overkill perform their dramatic cover of Neil Diamond's "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon" in a dark, reddish-lit setting aboard a boat. The band's performance is intercut with footage from Quentin Tarantino's film Pulp Fiction, especially images associated with Mia Wallace and Vincent Vega. The result functions as both a conventional performance video and a soundtrack tie-in, linking the group's swaggering alternative-rock presentation with the film's stylish, uneasy atmosphere and instantly recognizable visual world.

Factoids & Trivia

• The song is a cover of Neil Diamond's 1967 hit, which reached No. 10 on the US pop chart in its original version.

• Urge Overkill first released its version on the 1992 EP Stull, two years before Pulp Fiction brought it to a much larger audience.

• Producer and engineer Kramer worked on the original Urge Overkill recording. The track was later included on the Pulp Fiction soundtrack without being re-recorded for the film.

• According to the band, Quentin Tarantino discovered the Stull EP in a cutout bin in Amsterdam. He reportedly gave Uma Thurman several songs to consider for Mia Wallace's scene, and she selected Urge Overkill's version.

• The promotional video was made as the song's connection to Pulp Fiction became central to its identity. Its use of film footage makes it less a self-contained narrative than a visual extension of the soundtrack.

• The single reached No. 59 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 11 on the US alternative chart, and No. 37 in the United Kingdom.

• The video was associated with the 1995 MTV Video Music Awards, where the song appeared among the nominated music videos from the Pulp Fiction soundtrack.
