What song do John Travolta and Uma Thurman dance to in “Pulp Fiction”?
Jack Rabbit Slim's is the kind of '50s-themed diner where a Marilyn Monroe lookalike brings your milkshake and a Buddy Holly waiter takes your order. It's also where John Travolta and Uma Thurman entered an impromptu twist contest that became one of the most memorable scenes of the '90s. What song do John Travolta and Uma Thurman dance to in "Pulp Fiction"?

Correct Answer: You Never Can Tell
(Source)The dance scene was directed on the fly. Travolta brought the moves himself, pitching the Batman, the Swim, and the Hitchhiker after arguing Tarantino out of doing just the twist for the whole song. Tarantino dad-danced behind the camera while Travolta and Thurman switched on cue. Chuck Berry's "You Never Can Tell" gave Tarantino the French New Wave feel he wanted, while Duchess, the white cat from Disney's "The Aristocats," inspired Thurman's twist.
