Misirlou

Riot101 performing their version of the old Greek tune Misirlou live at the Winchester Music Hall. Jump to 0:25 to skip the introductions. According to Wikipedia the original writer of this song is unknown and the song's oriental melody has been so popular for so long that many people, from Morocco to Iraq, claim it to be a folk song from their own country.

Misirlou was first made famous in the U.S. by Dick Dale as the surf rock song Miserlou. Versions of this song were also performed by the Beach Boys, the Safaris, the Trashmen and the Ventures, used in the movie Pulp Fiction and adapted by the Black Eyed Peas for Pump It. The Greek word Misirlou translates to Egyptian Girl.

@Laurlaurmusic Zach has a foot controller that he uses to change his effects. Kinda like a bunch of foot pedals all in one.

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. Patrinos, who originally lived in İzmir, named the song Mısırlı or Misirlou which means an Egyptian Muslim girl, as opposed to Egyptian Christians who were referred to as Αιγυπτιοι (Aigyptioi) in Greek

[charisaob]

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.
