Her creations, mostly for Soprano, are also unique in that they almost completely only contains secular vocal music. something very rare for her time, especially for women.

Misirlou (the name of the song) means a Muslim Egyptian girl, as opposed to Egyptian Christians who were referred to as Aigyptioi, in Greek.
The song may be recognizable, not only because of Dick Dale, and The Beach Boys, among many others who covered it, but also from Tanrantino's Pulp Fiction.
