วีดีโอ

actually the original melody was originally from a middle easter folk song (so its super old) , that also goes by the same name of Misirlou. This original song was played around the 1920s by greek, Arabic, and jewish musicians. Later in the 1940s there were several versions by several artists in other music styles. It was only in the 1960s when the song took off with Dick Dale's rendition of Misirlou. He actually made this on a bet he was dared to do a song with a single string. It was only after in the 1990s that this song was heard widely again due to Tarantino's use of Misirlou in Pulp Fiction, and then later on in the 2000's when the Black Eyed Peas used Dick Dale's version as their main sample. Dick Dale's version is still the best IMO lolll.

Actually, Mediterranean musicians played it in the early 1920s (Greek and Israelis). They wrote Miserlou about a beautiful young Arabic/Egyptian girl.

Actually *everybody* on TH-cam has a different opinion of which nationality this song is 😆

I guess, Le Pré-Saint-Gervais, France
