Misirlou is such an iconic song. It was played all around the Mediterranean Sea.

Arabian music is based on what is called "Maqamat" (plural), "Maqam" (singular), or scales there are seven major Maqams and for each one there are many branches.. so you can start off by googling "Maqam" and see where that takes you.... =)

Yes it's an original Greek song dating the 1873 from the thriving Greek community of Cairo speaking about a legendary girl from Egypt that the singer praised her exotic beauty and he want to still her from Africa!

The song IS Greek. Originally it was intended to adhere to an "eastern-like" sound, because it was fashionable by then. It also talks about some exotic, oriental woman , possibly Egyptian, Arabic, or Turkish. That's the whole point of the tune sounding oriental-like. There might have been an egyptian song that some people claim has perhaps more primacy, which may have inspired the original composer, but if you listen to it, it sounds nothing like misirlou. BUT this version just gives it the tone it would have had if it were really really genuinely arab/mid-eastern... sounds amazing!

Dimitris M Papadakis the first Greek version was less eastern sounding. Then a second Greek more eastern sounding version was a bigger hit. Anyway the Greek song was talking about falling in love with an Egyptian woman.
