The flip side of "Arabian Nights", "Sand Dunes" (1919) I guess, is also supposed to make us dream of the exotic near east, but even my demented musical mind can't quite make that trip with this tune. It is fun to listen to, though. It is kind of funny to me how songs have glamorized the Arab world through the years.
"Midnight At The Oasis" came out when I was fresh out of college, but my favorite of all time is
"Ahab The Arab."
