Missirlou was first aired in Athens around 1927 by Dimitris Patrinos, a musician from Smyrni. The song refers to a Christian's love for a Muslim, a theme-taboo for that time and not only. The melody either existed before and was a familiar listening in the wider area of ​​the Ottoman Empire, or it is a group work of Patrinos' band. The only sure thing is that Patrinos wrote the lyrics.

The international journey of the song began in 1930 by the US, with the release of Orthophonic album by Greek-American Titos Dimitriadis. In 1941 another Greek-American, musician Nikos Roubani changed his tone and melody, giving him the oriental sound he is known today. Make sure he has his name as composer of the song. As no one has disputed this right, Roubani appears as a composer of Misirllos all over the world except for Greece.

Immediately after the adaptation of Rubanis, the song became part of the repertoire of great swing-era orchestras such as Harry James, Woody Herman and Xavier Kughat. But the great success for Missirlou came in the early 1960s by Surf-Rock artists. At the beginning, guitarist Dick Dale, a Lebanese musician (Richard Mansour's real name), started playing a solo with a single string of guitar. He chose Missirlou to respond to the challenge. In 1963, the great The Beach Boys featured in Surfin 'USA a performance of Dale's song, making Missirlo part of the surf tradition as well as American pop culture.

In 1994, Missirlou in the performance of Dick Dale came back to the fore as he was listening to Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, while in 2006 he became popular as the basis for the Black Eyed Peas, Pump it.
