Misirlou (Pulp Fiction Theme) and Hava Nagila

A surf guitar medley of the Greek classic "Misirlou" (trans. "Egyptian Girl"), and the Jewish folk song "Hava Nagila" (trans. "Let Us Rejoice"). Guitar and bass gear used was a Yamaha SGV800, Gomez El Sonido amp and G-spring reverb unit; drums programmed on an Alesis SR-16; audio recorded with a Sony PCM-D50, video with a Flip Mino HD;
audio mixed in Audacity, video edited in Adobe Premiere. Audio was pre-recorded to allow multiple camera angles and to improve overall sound quality. This medley was greatly inspired by the Surf Coasters version of "Misirlou" and Meshuggah Beach Party's "Hava Nagila", which of course were both inspired by the legendary Dick Dale.

Great stuff Morph. I'm a beliver in the surfcoasters and any surftunes that float my way, have you made an attempt to master "Bumble Bee"??(Surfcoasters version of course). I think you'll be able to nail that one coz you,ve definatly have a great coasters vibe happenning.Anyway thanx the time and effort put in to post this .. Cheers.

@Mrbagotricks Thanks! Haven't taken a stab at that yet (good suggestion though), but I put up an attempt at "Intruder" you might dig.

hey @mamakunem you got a vid we can watch ?

I wanna see how the pros do it...

[morphballio]

@surfinjohnnyq I'm guessing @mamakunem 's only hobby is douchebaggery, and he's not even good at that. I'm sure his mother is proud of him.

very! nice version, Michael. sounds great, you make it look easy , which it aint'. and your video and editing is spot on. a great antidote to those thousands of hours of guitar videos in which the director thought focusing on the neck was just too boring. thanks for posting. Ron

@mamakunem Are you going to post a video of your guitar playing? Or picking your nose or scratching your ass? Go fuck yourself dude. If you can get it up.

[SoundChoiceDJs]

Very nice job and very cool guitar. I've been looking for one of those for some time now - if you know of one for sale give me a shout please, thanks.

@mamakunem Wow, your semi-literate trolling attempts are getting dumber, yet more humorous each time. What exactly is an "outcast opinion"? Is it thinking there are no repercussions for acting like a prick online from the safety of your mother's basement? I'm going to assume you are a bored child or young teen, or possibly even a mildly-retarded adult, and won't attempt to explain anything else. Is this really what you do Friday nights? Isn't there a jar of Vaseline with your name on it?

[mamakunem]

@morphballio I know all that info, and I never said the miserlou was jewish, motherfucker, I was only talking about the hava nagila pay attention next time, moron. awwww, you gonna tell on me? ;( lol. thanks for the threat, little bitch... I guess you didn't like my outcast opinions, ill leave you and your huge ego be.. bye bye.

@mamakunem I don't expect you to actually know anything about music based on that statement, but the commonalities between Misirlou and Hava Nagila happen to be the heavy use of Phrygian scales, which is common in not only Jewish music, but Arabic, Spanish, Mediterranean, and more. The other commonalty is that Dick Dale recorded both of these classics and was not Jewish either (half-Lebanese actually). Now kindly go fuck yourself before I alert Youtube to the racist vitriol you are spreading.
