I play Misirlou, too, usually at Middle Eastern or Greek weddings, but more like the original version:
Just in case you ever wondered... Misirlou meant 'girl from Egypt' in the Turkish/Arabic/Greek parlance of the times (Misr is what Egyptians call Egypt), and the melody is just a riff from the pan-Middle Eastern repertoire, but it was made famous by a popular Greek tavern band. It's a song about a Greek guy who lusts after an Egyptian girl. The style of music is called rebetika, or more specifically smyrneika, a style of influenced from the tavern music of the ancient city Smyrni, which is now Izmir, Turkey. It's basically Greek refugees from the population exchange of the 1920s playing folk music heavily influenced by Turkish culture. There's some great songs in the old 1930s rebetika/smyrneika repertoire, real rock n' roll attitude too. Songs with titles like: 'While We Were Smoking Dope One Evening', 'Hitting the Jug and Getting High', and 'Prison Is A School'.
