"Misirlou" is an old folk song, its origins are obscure. It originated in Asia Minor, now the borderlands of modern Turkey and Greece and can be heard at celebrations of Greeks, Turks, Arabs, or Jews. Who originally wrote this song is lost to history.
Misirlou = Misirlou (Μισιρλού) is the feminine form of Misirlis (Μισιρλής) which comes from the Turkish word Mısırlı, which is formed by combining Mısır ("Egypt" in Turkish, borrowed from Arabic) with the Turkish -lı suffix, literally meaning "Egyptian".
