Checking the Coasters on Last.FM, neither "The Snake And The Bookworm"
nor "Keep On Rolling" is among their 50 most listened to recordings.
But surprisingly, their most popular track by far is "Down In Mexico,"
which apparently was featured is something called "Death Proof" and
has garnered a new audience based on that. It's a movie from 2007. No
wonder I never heard of it, it's one of these stupid zombie movies.
But that means that lots of young people now like that record.
Apparently the version is the movie is not the original 1950s
version.. Here's the scene:

"Stargate".
Coming back on topic I thought his appearance as Elvis in the
self-titled TV bio pic definitely left something to be desired.

made up the "Grindhouse" movie; another part of the trilogy was a
zombie-like flick directed by Robert Rodriguez.
Concerning "Down in Mexico", from the IMDb website: "In an interview,
Quentin Tarantino said that the version of "Down in Mexico" heard in
'Death Proof' was likely the rarest recording in his entire collection.
When he was working at a stag theater in his teens, he showed the record
to the projectionist, another record collector, who immediately pointed
out the words "Newly Recorded" on the record's label. Tarantino said
this version soon became one of his favorite tracks of all time."

It wasn't a trilogy. "Grindhouse" consisted of two feature-length films - "Planet Terror" and "Death Proof" - along with several "trailer" for upcoming films (none of which ever existed, of course).

Interestingly, though, one of the trailers - "Machete" - ended up being made into a feature-length film a couple of years after "Grindhouse." It was directed by Robert Rodriguez, who also did "Planet Terror."

a 3d movie because parts of the movie dragged. I didn't think either
part was great but they did capture the b-movies (especially the
unintended humor) that used to be shown at a drive-in in my hometown. I
thought Rodriguez's "Machete" (the full length movie) was better than
"Planet Terror".

It is indeed a Trip rerecording. I have no idea how large Tarantino's record collection is, but there's no question that he mistook a fairly common record as a rare one. (Not that the original is especially rare, either.) Carl Gardner is credited with producing this version, so there's some interest on that front.

FYI, "Down In Mexico" is used for a scene in which Vanessa Ferlito gives Kurt Russell a lap-dance. You might like it. Naturally, I prefer the original record, but Tarantino is heavily into a retro-'70s vibe in his films, so the Trip version is arguably more in keeping with his style.

The only thing I liked about Tarantino's otherwise execrable "Inglourious Basterds" was the lack of '70 pop-culture references. (It's a World War II film, and a loathsome one at that.)

Tarantino committed a major cultural faux pas in "Inglorious Bastards" by having Brad Pitt's Aldo Raines dub the Eli Roth character as the "Ted Williams of Nazi bashers"
He blew it here!!
Hank Greenberg was the first MLB enlistee in WWII.............he was Jewish....AND he batter right handed!!!!
The film had some real classically tense moments and Christoff Weltz deserved his Academy Award but that baseball nomenclatural gaffe was downright idiotic and ruined it for me, baby!!!

characters spend all day with their radio tuned to a "Super '70s
Weekend" show. At one point, the DJ plays "Stuck in the Middle With
You," which he says was a hit in March 1974. Actually, it peaked in
September 1973.
I must admit, that kind of irked me!
