Ive heard this melody played in old cartoons and movies that took place in Middle Eastern settings. I always assumed it was an old folk song, or incidental music inspired by Middle Eastern culture, but finally I researched it and found out it was a Big Band standard. I was excited to finally listen to the original version of this song since it was such a familiar melody that would occasionally pop up throughout my life. Luckily, with the name of the song now known, I was able to find it on YouTube. Turns out it reeked of dated humor, smug cheekiness, and worst of all, carefree racism. Joy shattered. Moral of the story: I hate white people.
