	The Near Eastern Number
		"Misirlou" is, in fact, an Americanization of a traditional Greek song known as Ìéóéñëïý.
		The dance that goes along with this song was also Americanized in "Zorba the Greek" and became the rage of parties for several years after the film's release (I can remember my parents going to a special party dedicated to mastering the dance).
		"Misirlou" was published in sheet music form by Nicholas Roubanis in the mid-1930s.

	Dinosaur Gardens » The Mysteries of “Misirlou”
		Lebanese-American Dale (his birth name was Richard Mansour) thought back to the weddings of his childhood and remembered the traditional number “Misirlou”, which fit the bill; he resolved to play it insanely fast.
		It’s difficult to imagine a musical genre that was as shaped by one man as surf rock was by Dale.
		[…] The Mysteries of “Misirlou” Most sources state that the earliest known recording (spelled “Mousourlou”) was made in New York around 1930 by Michalis Patrinos, a Greek bandleader who had recently arrived in the United States.

	Cozy Rocket » Blog Archive » Dick Dale - Misirlou
		“Misirlou” has unusual origins for a seminal piece in American rock.
		Its roots are in Middle Eastern music, and it was a 1940s pop hit in Turkey (and a Greek folk dance) two decades before Dick revived and reinvented the piece in 1962 — when he gave it a high energy twist by performing it on electric guitar with his band, the Del-Tones.
		The central focus of the piece is a classic case of a linear melody played solely on one string, which favors the tremolo picking attack.

		It's Dick Dale ripping out the opening riffs of ``Misirlou,'' a ferocious, nails-scraping-the-slate fusion of frenzied flamenco and Motor City metal that jump-starts Quentin Tarantino's 1994 film.
		I created my version of `Misirlou' at the Rendezvous Ballroom (in California) when a little kid asked if I could play something on a single string.
		I was playing `Misirlou' very slow and realized the sound was too thin, so I added a little bit of a Gene Krupa beat and speeded it up.

	Misirlou
		Interesting story on NPR about the history of Misirlou, one of Dick Dale's surf guitar masterpieces.
		Dale first heard the melody as a child; Lebanese relatives would play Misirlou on the Middle Eastern lute called the oud.
		Dale created his version as a challenge to create a tune in which he plays a single string of his guitar.

	JS Online:'Misirlou' appeals to senses
		"Misirlou" might be a traditional Greek tune jotted down by one Nicholas Roubanis on a cocktail napkin in a Greek bar in the 1930s.
		Whatever its source, "Misirlou's" stew-pot ethnic aromas have appealed to all manner of musicians, including Dick ("King of the Surf Guitarists") Dale and Kevin ("Artistic Director of Present Music") Stalheim.
		On Friday night, "Misirlou" was the grand finale of "Our Big Fat Greek, Turkish and Israeli Party," Present Music's season opener at the Pabst Theater.

	Surf Punk Misirlou (Site not responding. Last check: )
		For some reason the Misirlou is danced to more pieces of music than any other dance in the SCD repertoire, at least in my experience.
		In my own groups and workshops I've tended to stick with the tango version (with the 'original' every now and again as an 'old favourite') when doing the Misirlou, the Tom Bozigian recording of Eench Emanaee and a couple of unnamed and untraceable (so far) pieces of music for Kritikos.
		This newest addition to my music collection is 'Misirlou' by Dick Dale and his Del-Tones, a 'surf' guitar instrumental first recorded in the early 1960s.

	NPR : 'Misirlou,' from Klezmer to Surf Guitar
		Weekend Edition Sunday, January 8, 2006 · The tune "Misirlou" has traveled quite a path, from klezmer music to 1950s exotica acts and finally to surf guitar and an appearance in the 1994 film Pulp Fiction.
		Many of you heard it again in a Jan. 1 feature by Jon Kalish on Lionel Ziprin's efforts to preserve the recordings of his grandfather, Rabbi Nuftali Zvi Margolies Abulafia.
		His grandparents were born in Lebanon, and as a child he remembers hearing his relatives play "Misirlou," which translates as "The Egyptian," on the Middle Eastern lute called the oud.

	Some more on Misirlou
		I happened to read about the song on another list, and according to this info, the Greek-American music teacher Nikos Rumbanis registered (which I presume means that he "copywrighted") "Misirlou" in 1943.
		Anyway, the title is Greek: Misirlou means "woman from Misr (Egypt)", which fits well with the song's "oriental" feel.
		The Yiddish lyrics are also very similar to the Greek ones, which is probably due to the fact that they were translated from the original English lyrics (which I don't know!).

	Lyr Req: Miserlou / Misirlou / Mizerlu
		"Misirlou" was already well-established as an exotica standard by then, but either inspiration is credible.
		But no one has mentioned the "tradition" (spurious, no doubt) we were told of its origin: that sometime in antiquity, a city was captured, and rather than submit to their conquerors, the women of the city danced "Misirlou" hand in hand off the top of the city's wall, committing mass suicide.
		I wanted the chords and lyrics to Misirlou and was delighted to find them, along with the history and Yiddish lyrics.

	Fender Players Club - Dick Dale
		Additionally, a good dose of Dale’s Lebanese heritage can be heard in some of his playing, particularly "Misirlou," as echoes of the Middle Eastern music he heard and played growing up.
		Born Richard Monsour, he and his father purchased a ballroom in Newport Beach, California and turned it into a venue for surfers’ music, and later created their own Deltone record label.
		Following the rediscovery of "Misirlou" for the movie Pulp Fiction, Dale’s career has been rejuvenated and he has continued to record new material and tirelessly pursue a grueling tour schedule – a schedule even more amazing considering he is near retirement age.

	JS Online:'Uncle Nick' made his musical mark, wrote lively 'Misirlou'
		Both "Misirlou" and Dale got a big boost a few years ago, when Dale's version became the main theme for Quentin Tarantino's hit film, "Pulp Fiction."
		All of the above prompted a Journal Sentinel inquiry into the provenance of the tune, which is couched in snaky, inflected scales that conjure up images of desert sands and minarets.
		A note to that effect ran in the review of the Present Music concert, which attracted the attention of Anna Losey.
