Pulp Fiction cover « Misirlou » | Nicolas Baldeyrou

Dear friends, we are all facing very difficult times, of course music will not stop the spread of the virus but I guess it will be our best ally to endure all the dramas around and look toward a better future. if this video brings you some joy and makes you smile, then my mission will be accomplished ! I hope you’ll enjoy this very famous tune, Misirlou, which is originally a folk song from the Eastern Mediterranean region, with origins in the Ottoman Empire. The original author of the folk song is not known, but it was known to Arabic, Greek and Jewish musicians by the 1920s. It gained worldwide popularity through Dick Dale’s 1962 American surf rock version, originally titled “Miserlou“, which popularized the song in Western popular culture; Dale’s version was influenced by an earlier Arabic folk version played with an oud. Dale’s surf rock version later gained renewed popularity when director Quentin Tarantino used it in his 1994 film Pulp Fiction, and again when it was sampled in the Black Eyed Peas’ song “Pump It“ (2006).
