It is based on two traditional Cretan songs, “Armenohorianos Syrtos“ and “Kritiko syrtaki“, composed by Giorgis Koutsourelis. The song featured in the 1964 film Zorba the Greek, for which Theodorakis wrote the soundtrack, and become extremely popular around the world. It is now commonly played and danced to in Greek tavernas in Greece and elsewhere, and exists as a kind of trademark of Greece. It is also known as “Sirtaki“, which is a version of the traditional Greek hasapiko (“butcher's“) dance, choreographed by Giorgos Provias. Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass recorded a version of the song (as “Zorba the Greek“) for their 1965 album Going Places. Issued as the B-side of the group's “Tijuana Taxi“ single, the song reached #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song was featured, among others, in the film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and in the “Subdivision“ episode of Prison Break where Charles “Haywire“ Patoshik raids a fast food joint and gorges himself on soda and ice cream. The song is particularly infamous in Peru for its association with Sendero Luminoso. In the early 1990s, a video of Sendero Luminoso's leadership dancing to the song was given to the media, showing that the organization's heads were hiding in Lima itself. British dance act LCD covered the song in 1998. Violinist David Garrett covered the song on his self-titled album in 2009.
