I would assume that Moslems picked up musical scales from India, and/or that Indian music was known more widely in the ancient world. You probably know about it, there are many different ragas and micro tones, very sophisticated and beautiful.

I'll bet this tune is now banned in some areas.

“Though she’s my teen goddess, and her ruby lips are so divine....”

The tunes from “Kismet” are probably banned too, since they celebrate the relationship of a man and a woman.
