A song that from his apparition recorded in 1927 to charmed the ear of multiple musicians of the world. "Misirlou" is a song dedicated to an Egyptian woman, whose charming beauty is narrated by the melody, which once listened, never forgets.

There are different versions of "Misirlou", most known it is Dick Dale interpretation, whose theme was becoming famous to the being one track for the movie of Quentin Tarantino: (Pulp Fiction).

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. Patrinos, who originally lived in Smyrna, named the song Mısırlı or Misirlou which means an Egyptian girl, as opposed to Egyptian Christians who were referred to as 'Aigyptioi' in Greek.
Initially, the song was composed as a Greek (Asia Minor) tsifteteli dance, in the rebetiko style of music, at a slower tempo and a different key than the orientalized performances that most are familiar with today. This was the style of the first known recording by Michalis Patrinos in Greece, circa 1930 (which was circulated in the United States by Titos Dimitriadis' Orthophonic label); a second recording was made by Patrinos in New York, in 1931.
