Peter James: Misirlou

One year ago I uploaded this song using a record with very disturbing surfacenoise. Here is the sound much better! I am happy to have found a promotionrecord -flipside is Opportunity, arranged by the wellknown Jimmy Bowen.

Here´s my original text written a year ago (starting with a short newsflash from november):

Newsflash November 20th: Peter James is a singer and producer and it is not a fakename and he is not PJ Proby, says Wes Bryan. Visit Bryans blogspot:

(End Newsflash)


OK, the first ten seconds have a lousy surfacenoice. But I have ripped this song from the only record I could find on internet - if someone uploads a better copy I´d be more than pleased. Reprise 0460 from 1966, flipside is Opportunity. My copy is manufactured in Australia.

Misirlou is an old greek song, recorded many times, by names like Dick Dale and The Beach Boys. This version is from April 1966.

Translation

My Misirlou (Egyptian girl), your sweet glance
Has lit a flame in my heart.
Ah, ya habibi, Ah, ya leh-leli, ah (Arabic: Oh, my love, Oh, my night‎)
Your two lips are dripping honey, ah.

Ah, Misirlou, magical, exotic beauty.
Madness will overcome me, I can't endure [this] any more.
Ah, I'll steal you away from the Arab land.

My black-eyed, my wild Misirlou,
My life changes with one kiss
Ah, ya habibi, one little kiss, ah
From your sweet little lips, ah.
