"Misirlou" is a folk song from the Eastern Mediterranean region. The song's original author is unknown, but Arabic, Greek, and Jewish musicians were playing it by the 1920s. The earliest known recording of the song is a 1927 Greek rebetiko/tsifteteli composition. There are also Arabic belly dancing, Albanian, Armenian, Serbian, Persian, Indian and Turkish versions of the song. This song was popular from the 1920s onwards in the Arab American, Armenian American and Greek American communities who settled in the United States. It gained worldwide popularity through Dick Dale's 1962 American surf rock version which popularized the song in Western popular culture. After that, several versions were recorded and in 1994 Quentin Tarantino reused Dick Dale's version in his film Pulp Fiction. Arguably the most iconic musical moment in this film.
