According to Wikipedia: \u201cMisirlou\u201d is a folk song from Eastern Mediterranean region and the original author is not known.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The song was a hit in 1946 for Jan August, an American pianist and xylophonist nicknamed \u201cthe one-man piano duet.\u201d It gained worldwide popularity through Dick Dale\u2019s 1962 American surf rock version, originally titled \u201cMiserlou,\u201d which popularized the song in Western popular culture; Dale\u2019s version was influenced by an earlier Arabic folk version played with an oud. Various versions have since been recorded, mostly based on Dale\u2019s version, including other surf and rock versions by bands such as the Beach Boys, the Ventures, Consider the Source, and the Trashmen, as well as international orchestral easy listening (exotica) versions by musicians such as Martin Denny and Arthur Lyman. Dale\u2019s surf rock version later gained renewed popularity when director Quentin Tarantino used it in his 1994 film \u201cPulp Fiction,\u201d and again when it was sampled in the Black Eyed Peas\u2019 song \u201cPump It\u201d (2006).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
