The thing is that Misirlou became vaguely known abroad due to Pulp Fiction - even in Greece some younger people had never heard the song before. Thanks for suggesting the Greek Cypriot songs, we intend to post some characteristic folk songs from the Cypriot tradition as well! Thanks for the comments, they are very welcome and interesting!

Will you permit me to make a couple of comments and ask a question? Misirlou is not a name as such. It is 'girl from Misirl' I also beg to differ that its popularity has been thanks to the movie Pulp Fiction, although this is very significant. Dick Dale the Lebanese american brought it to the surfing culture long before. It is now a 'folk song' of all middle eastern and balkan nations and sung even by rabbis. In terms of style it has been translated to music styles all over the world, including classical, cabaret, Eurolounge, Latin rumba and samba. As such it is the most internationalised song in the world after the 'happy birthday' song. Also why are there no Cypriot Greek entries? They have some really cool folk songs. All the best Apollo HI, and well done with your wonderful site!
