Summer: time to take a breath, to forget overloads, to dance!!!
To every human on earth!
Music theme: Missirlou (or Misirlou).
One of the the most rearranged themes ever.
Here by Dick Dale, perfomed by himself and the Dale Tones.
The Greek word Missirlou or Misirlou refers specifically to a Muslim Egyptian woman (as opposed to a Christian Egyptiotissa); thus this song refers to a cross-faith, cross-race, relationship, a risqué subject at its time.

Initially, the song was composed as a Greek zeibekiko dance, in the rebetiko style of music, at a slower tempo and a different key than the orientalized performances that most are familiar with today. This was the style of the first known recording by Michalis Patrinos in Greece, circa 1930 (which was circulated in the United States by Titos Dimitriadis' Orthophonic label); a second recording was made by Patrinos in New York, in 1931.

In 1941, Nick Roubanis, a Greek-American music instructor, released a jazz instrumental arrangement of the song, crediting himself as the composer. Since his claim was never legally challenged, he is still officially credited as the composer today worldwide, except in Greece where credit is variably given to either Roubanis or Patrinos. Subsequently S. Russell, N. Wise, and M. Leeds wrote English lyrics to the song. Roubanis is also credited with fine-tuning the key and the melody, giving it the oriental sound that it is associated with today. The song soon became an "exotica" standard among the light swing (lounge) bands of the day.
The song was rearranged as a solo instrumental guitar piece by Dick Dale in 1962, after he was bet by a young fan that he could not play a song on only one string of his guitar!!
Not to mention that it has been the beloved theme song of the film "Pulp Fiction"....
The dance is also performed to instrumental versions of Never on Sunday by Manos Hadjidakis.
