The Delfonics are a pioneering Philadelphia soul singing group, most popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Their most notable hits include "La-La (Means I Love You)", "Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)", "Break Your Promise," "I'm Sorry," and "Ready or Not Here I Come (Can't Hide from Love)". Their hit songs were all written by songwriter and producer Thom Bell and lead vocalist and founder William Hart.
Their songs have been used extensively in film soundtracks, the most notable being Quentin Tarantino's 1997 movie Jackie Brown, in which "La-La (Means I Love You)" and "Didn't I Blow Your Mind" underscore the pivotal relationship between Pam Grier and Robert Forster. The film helped create a borderline cult following for the songs and this group.
Their songs have been sampled extensively by various hip-hop and rap artists including: The Fugees ("Ready or Not"), The Notorious B.I.G., Nas, Boyz II Men, Missy Elliott and DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince.
In addition, their songs have been covered by numerous other performers, including Aretha Franklin, The Jackson 5, Patti LaBelle, New Kids on the Block, Todd Rundgren, Prince, Swing Out Sister and The Manhattan Transfer.

A classic belly dance tune (tsifteteli) with Greek/Middle Eastern roots around the turn of the century, and it was written about an Egyptian girl ...the word Misirlou refers specifically to a Muslim Egyptian woman...it has been played and replayed over the years, and although the original composer is not known, it is credited to Nick Roubanis.
In 1962, Dick Dale released a bastardized version for the surfer generation...don't be a Dick!
Lyrics in Greek -
Μισιρλού μου η γλυκειά σου η ματιά
φλόγα μ' έχει ανάψει μέσ' την καρδιά
Αχ γιαχαμπίμπι αχ γιαλελέλι αχ
τα δυό σου χείλη στάζουν μέλι ωϊμέ
Αχ Μισιρλού μαγική ξωτική ομορφιά
τρέλλα θα μ' έρθη, δεν υποφέρω πιά
Αχ θα σε κλέψω μέσ' απ' την Αραπιά
Αχ Μισιρλού μαγική ξωτική ομορφιά
Μαυρομάτα Μισιρλού μου τρελλή
η ζωή μου αλλάζει μ' ένα φιλί
Αχ Γιαχαμπίμπι μ' ένα φιλάκι αχ
απ' το δικό σου το στοματάκι ωϊμέ
Lyrics in English - (roughly translated)
My MIsirlou, your sweet look
Lights up a flame in my heart
Your lips taste of honey
Misirlou, magical exotic beauty
You make me crazy I can't stand it
I'm going to take you away with me
My dark-eyed crazy Misirlou
My life changes with a kiss
From your mouth
