Another classic cranked out by an SG101 member and thrown on youtube. The guitar track is a bit sloppy, but I'm actually pleased with the backing track. (I sampled my wife playing zils, which really enhanced it.)
The Victor
This isn't as mind-blowing and awe-inspiring as Mr. Pongracic's Victor, but there ARE some very sensual belly dancing scenes included in this video, and we all know sex always wins.

I dug around and found that the video footage is from a 1964 Greek movie called "Another in a Million" (which I thought was cool because Mr. Eliminator was also released in 1964). I initially thought she may have been one of the Salimpours, but now I'm 99% sure she is/was a burlesque dancer called "BouBouka", who was also on several Mohammed el Bakkar album covers.

I thought you said it was sloppy? Very nice, you nailed it! I especially like the "we're not worthy" ending.

awesome video, perfectly played and recorded and the belly dancer is way cool, too! looking forward to see some more stuff soon.
I like your other videos as well. In fact, the way you play Misirlou looks so calm and easy to play, I spent the rest of the day trying to figure out the song, and I have just started to play guitar again after a very long break. ouch
edit: oh, just saw that you are using linux for recording

I liked it quite a lot! Not so sloppy, either.

Thanks again for watching everyone! I guess the accuracy was okay for a casual video, but if this were an album there would have been several flubs I would have definitely done over... although, maybe it's the flubs that add character. Yes, this cover has a lot of "character".
