[starttext]"Have you seen the film ''Pulp Fiction'' with John Travolta ? The song was first performed by the Michalis Patrinos rebetiko band in Athens, Greece in 1927. As with almost all early rebetika songs (a style that originated with the Greek refugees from Turkey), the song's actual composer has never been identified, and its ownership rested with the band leader.The song was rearranged as a solo instrumental guitar piece by Dick Dale in 1962 and was used a a soundtrack in the Pulp Fiction movie.

This is my band's *Ixis Afixis' version.I had the camera right behind me but we had poor lighting so the quality is not the best.In this version we are using a Greek traditional instrument called 'bouzouki' played by Stelios Petrakis (www.youtube.com/steliospetrakismusic)[endtext]
