"Misirlou" (The Egyptian Girl") is a Greek song, copyrighted by P. Roubanis in 1934 but certainly older. It's best known in the West these days as the theme for the movie "Pulp Fiction" - the version used there is the wonderful Californian surf-rock arrangement by Dick Dale and the Deltones.
The scale it it uses is known as "zirguleli hijaz" in Turkish and "mayamalavagaula" or "bhairavi" in Indian music - centred on E as here, the F and C are natural but the G and D are sharpened. This scale was known in ancient Greece, but in this song, it came via the Ottoman Empire.
