Sorry Grizz. That's Grizz.
Hildebrand's up. Here's the background on the tune -
When he was in Indonesia, in 1976, he was listening to short-wave radio one day. This song came on - sung in three-part close harmony. He took it for Greek but later here in Australia someone identified the song as being Turkish and called Ali Pasha. It's apparently well known in Turkey.

For the record here are the words to Hildebrand's song.
