The song was first performed by the Michalis Patrinos rebetiko band in Athens, Greece in 1927. As with almost all early rebetika songs (a style that originated with the Greek refugees from Asia Minor in Turkey), the song's actual composer has never been identified, and its ownership rested with the band leader. The melody was most likely composed collaboratively by the band, as was often the case at the time; the initial lyrics were almost certainly written by Patrinos himself.
I love youtube because of all the idiots debating back and forth.
As an ancient beast once said, "Struggle through misconception and fear the truth for as a mind is only that of a whole when truth is told." Anyhow as this isn't the original song and the reality is that the song was made so far back in time that several countries thinks it originates from them. It is impossible to say where it originates from.
My apalogies to the downloder of this video about the interaction with a racist bigot here. However, I have to speak the truth regardless. At least, I should have the right to correct few things up. Thanks.
@Fussinated Thanks for that explanation! That's awesome, I had no Idea that Dave Brubeck adapted Turkish music into his music. No wonder it sounds so amazing. I love a Pioneer.
@Hungry4Herb actually it's not turkish.it is taken from an old greek song of rebetiko style called Misirlou(means egyptia muslim girl) which was firstly performed in Athens in 1927 by Michalis Patrinos,who was a greek refuge from Minor Asia.
@novaera5 Actually, Greek still today play and dance with Turkish tunes, so the tune is definitely has Turkish character regardless where was it performed first.
@Fussinated its not turkish tune.the kind of music of the song is called rebetiko....which only Greeks were playing and still play.And we do not dancing to Turkish tunes please.Sometimes we dance tsifteteli(belly dance) which is Arab dance,but not turkish.
@novaera5 "Sometimes we dance tsifteteli(belly dance) which is Arab dance"
You guys are mazing, You claim Imam bayildi as Greek yet you can't tell its greek name sine there is none, You claim that Yoghurt is Greek yet you use the Turkish name, You call ciftetelli as Arabic but it is a Turkish tune, You call Misirlou (Misirlu how you say it) it is the broken form of Misirli meaning from egypt in Turkish, you claim baklava have no idea why you call it baklava. Why do you hate Turkish this much?
@Fussinated We don't claim imam bayildi as greek.as for the yoghurt we do have greek word for it....and its called Myzithra....and you know we are making myzithra since ancient years.we just use both words,but it doesn't mean that Turks invented yogurt.many countries makes their kind of yoghurts.Also i didn't say that the word Misirlou is greek.I said that the music is based on greek rebetiko.As for baklava Turks also took it from Arabs.We don't hate them.They still hate us.
LOL The greeks I met here claimed otherwise so far, one being a restaurant owner.
"as for the yoghurt we do have greek word for it....and its called Myzithra"
No. U call it YAGURTI.
Mizithra (Greek: Μυζήθρα) is a traditional, unpasteurized fresh cheese made with milk and whey from sheep and/or goats.[1] The ratio of milk to whey usually is 7 to 3.
@Fussinated I don't need to lie.sometimes we say myzithra not only for cheeze.And i'm Greek.And obviously you have some kind of problem with Greeks!! Are you from Turkey??Because you seem to speak like most Turkish speak to Greeks on internet,quite hateful.
@Fussinated i don't know what problem do you have with Greece,because its obvious that you do......if you want to believe that i'm telling lies,its your problem not mine!! I don't need to tell lies....but you need to solve your hatred problem.ciao.
@Fussinated Ohhh....come on.it's obvious from which country you are.I don't really want to continue this childish conversation.And you do have hatred problem...so go to a mirror and admit it to yourself.
@novaera5 "many countries makes their kind of yoghurts"
There are many kinds of pastas yet you don't even hesitate to admit that it is originally from China. Why become so irritated when it comes to admit that Yogurt is originally Turkish?
"Also i didn't say that the word Misirlou is greek"
I didn't say u did.
"I said that the music is based on greek rebetiko"
and I quoted how rebetiko is effected by Turkish music.
@novaera5 "As for baklava Turks also took it from Arabs"
Again, I remember a year ago or so Greek together with Armenians were claiming that Baklava originally belonged to them. R U sure u r from Greek at all? Because u either r a big liar or simply trying to play a stupid game.
"We don't hate them"
Yes u do. Otherwise u would justful and that U R not.
"They still hate us"
How many Turkish u spoke in ur entire life, not from Κομοτηνή of course since U treat them unjust anyway
@novaera5 "ciftetelli" (meaning double wired) arabic you say how about "kasab havasi" (meaning butcher tune)? They do Greek festival here every year and I go there. They play and dance more than half the tunes are Turkish. If you go to a Turkish circumcision ceremony or engagment party in Turkey you would see what I mean. And don't be afraid turkish don't bite unless you start insulting them and their culture.
@Fussinated I'm from Greece and i have never heard about this kasab havasi....maybe only Greeks from Minor Asia dance it.But the rest of Greece don't know it for sure.But i will repeat that Misirlou is an old rebetiko song...rebetiko style is followed only by Greeks and its not turkish traditional music.Sorry for disappointing you but it is true.
@novaera5 Rebetiko: The melodies of most rebetiko songs are thus often considered to follow one or more dromoi (δρόμοι) (Greek for 'roads' or 'routes'; singular is dromos (δρόμος)). The names of the dromoi are derived in all but a few cases from the names of various Turkish modes, known in Turkish as makam.
"rebetiko style is followed only by Greeks"
As I said prejudice is far more disappointing than facts. And you preahc about sharing and love etc. U R full of hate towards Turkish people
@Hungry4Herb During the 60's western musicians started to search different tunes, one of them would be Dave Brubeck, for example, he came up with 11/9's beat from Classical Turkish music and adapted it into his music.
I know that this is the Guitar Hero II version but I'm curious what year this was originally recorded? Was it from a live album? recorded by a fan (unlikely considering the quality)? A B-side of a single? Or was it something that he did especially for rock band?
This song is from the old Ottoman Empire, from the Turkish city of Izmir/Smyrna. It was played by a Jew, the song was about an Egyptian girl. Misirlou comes from Misirli. Misirli means Egyptian in Turkish. A Greek immigrant to the USA brought this song with him, thats how it got popular there.
this is a great song anyone who likes it should check out the band im in its called surf nazis on youtube u could find us by typing surf nazis best buy gig

Everyone in the world can trace roots back to somewhere other than America ---its America that embraces such a fertile enviroment for growth and new idea's---looking forward-- not to the past. A true melting pot of any and all, bringing their heritage and going forward ;););)
The penultimate surf instrumental tune of the early 60's. Who cares if its based on Middle Eastern music and that Dick has a Lebanese background. It rocks !! That's all that matters. There's a whole swag of fabulous early songs he did - both instrumental + vocal.

Everyone in the world can trace roots back to somewhere other than America ---its America that embraces such a fertile enviroment for growth and new idea's---looking forward-- not to the past. A true melting pot of any and all, bringing their heritage and going forward ;););)

The penultimate surf instrumental tune of the early 60's. Who cares if its based on Middle Eastern music and that Dick has a Lebanese background. It rocks !! That's all that matters. There's a whole swag of fabulous early songs he did - both instrumental + vocal.
