Huh. Turns out I can read music.
My wife is Chinese. My house is now impossibly racist.
That happens every thirty seconds.
Damn I did not expect a LRR reference around here! Can't believe that sketch is ten years old and still good as gold.
Bunch of songs with this riff in my orientalism playlist

Impressive list! A couple more you could add:
Eastern Intrigue by Todd Rundgren
Miracle in the Bazaar by Todd Rundgren
Teo Torriatte by Queen
Thanks for the suggestions!
I'm pretty disappointed that the very obvious fact this was written by a Westerner has never occurred to me. The amount of casual racism that survives even when you're thinking about it is crazy.
