LOL, how about walk like an egyptian by the bangles





How about some Enigma songs, I know they're old but they are kind of "mystical" sounding- esp. that song Mea Coupa (I know I butchered the spelling)![]()
XoXo Gia
Danielle Fishell (the Dish): "If the Super-Star thing doesn't work out, Gia makes a great stripper name"
How about some arabian belly dancing type music? That's middle eastern at least.





Maybe try PM-ing Katrine. She does belly dancing as well as stripping and I bet she could help you out with this one- all I could think of was the Bangles song TiaMaria already mentiond, sorry.

Maybee some Tea Party if you want something with an eastern influence.
"I believe in never, I believe in all the way..."





"My Love Is For Real"-Paula Abdul/Ofra Haza. light poppy r&b with a middle eastern flare.
"Yulunga (Spirit Dance)"-Dead Can Dance. slow grindy and arabian sounding.
"Arabian Nights"-uptempo freestyle dance song....cant think of the artist right now.
We had a feature recently who did a similar set and had a song that the chorus went "...and cleopatra is my name!", but i had never heard it before. it was poppy as well.
"Eygpt, Eygpt"-The Egyptian Lover. oldsk00l jammy-jam. makes me want to rollerskate.
"Desert Rose"-Sting.
waffles are just pancakes with little squares on them.





also, i think this should probably be posted/moved to Music Mix.

I got the perfect one for you...
Desert Rose by Sting...
there are two versions. Maybe you can download them on Kazaa.
I assure you, you will LOVE them.
Although I have never done a show for public, my ex-girlfriends have love it when I performed that for them. It is sensual, exotic, romantic and mystical. The house version has a higher bpm and more dancing feeling to it.





You could check out Punjabi MC for some pop-hiphoppy middle eastern stuff - some that was popular mainstream US music 1-2 years ago, several remixes of this stuff are around. Loreena McKennitt has an arabian sounding song, I think it's called Marco Pollo. Also there is a type of music called Bhangra - kinda arabic club stuff - if you download music put "bhangra" in your search and see what you find.
Try Oojami-Chicki
Amr Diab-Habibi
Shakira-Ojos Asi
Tarkan-Kiss Kiss. There is also an english version of this song.
Many songs by Alabina. They mix Arabic with Flamenco.
Download some of this stuff, it should be good.
Also, a song I LOVE, is "So Contagious" by Truth Hurts.
That's a good start, there is so much. I'm DYING to do Egyptian Lover...need to learn some breakdance moves LOL!

You definitely need "Living on the ceiling" by Blancmange, and the Arabian mix of "Born to be wild' by Kim Wilde.

This might sound weird but i've always thought White Zombie's "Blood, Milk, Sky" has a eastern sort of flavor...





the Truth Hurts song is actually called "Addictive", in case you do a search for it. forgot about that one. oh, and yeah i have played Zombie's "Blood Milk & Sky" for a rock chick in a sorta genie themed outfit, but only the beginning really worked with it. oh and the "Kiss Kiss" song, the english version is by Stella Soliel.![]()
