The dick dale version was created cuz someone challenged him to play a song with only one note and he remebered a folk song his uncle played for hkm on an oid
Closer to ottoman(the artist is born in istanbul though biologically greek) With the name misirlou being a greek-ified word for mısırlı (meaning from egypt in turkish)
@@BrunoFernanshSZN it cant have been ancient, misirlou comes from the turkish word “mısırlı” . And that couldnt happen before the ottoman conquest of anatolia, balkans and egypt as well
There's debate about whether the original was Greek because Mısırlı means "Egyptian" in Turkish but it doesn't mean anything in Greek and I think the song is about a man who wanted to be with an Egyptian woman.
The man was Greek. After hundreds of year under occupation the Greeks have adopted a lot of from Turks including their names. Even swear words, we say ay siktiri, which comes from siktir, and the infamous debate of baklava. (As a Greek I acknowledge it, but we took it and do it better😘) Make no mistake I love my Turkish brothers.
And there's me, thinking about this French masterpiece called "Taxi". For those who don't know what it is, it's our French Fast And Furious but that came out years before.
@@Le_ptit_Lushi I am from Hungary, but it isn't very popular here. I just watched it, because my mom bought it for my 8th birthday, back in 2004. I have watched every one since
"Dhan Te Naan" from the movie 'Kaminey' (Bollywood, India) sounds like this, at least as far as I can recall. If possible, can you please compare that and check if that too was sampled?
This is probably very certain a Pontic song, written by a a mysterious Greek during the Greek Genocides of 1913. At the time Pontic song writers and name makers took Turkish words, (thus Misir-lou) and turned them into Greek style, basically due to Turkish influence. Probably made also because the pitch is quiet low, indicating some sort of disaster may have happened as well as the actual story which was somewhat of a Greek custom to always put sort of stories in songs. Further, the first recording is in Greek, meaning that the written song could easily be also written in Greek as well.
There's only so many notes that exist...the old one (the last one) might sound the same but it is very very far from having any other similarity and therefore is not copied in my eyes.
nah, you gotta listen to the whole thing. Pump it sampled Dale's cover of Misirlou, which itself was a cover of the original Greek Misirlou. The two older songs are exactly the same, Dale just used an electric guitar instead.
@@zzz100ificatiyep a kid bet dick that he couldn’t make a song just one one string he rememebred listening to the original as a kid and came up with this as a cover
Pulp Fiction is one of the most famous movies ever. Yes, we knew it was a sample. Plus, the song is from an era when all the hooks in hip hop were samples. Plus, it SOUNDS like a sample. Come on. No one thought they brought in an actual guitar player, dude. It's about as obviously a sample as it gets.
