A Ram Sam Sam

In most forms, the song has a few lyrics in the Moroccan dialect of Arabic[2] that are continuously repeated, often with increasing speed or as a round.

The Liverpool folk group The Spinners presented their version of the song, which they learned from an Israeli singer, with the mistaken claim that the words were in Aramaic[1] and meant "Get up on your horse and gallop away".

[3] The Spinners included their version titled "Aram Sa-sa" on their 1964 album Folk at the Phil.

[4] Rolf Harris recorded the song in 1971 for Columbia Records with The Mike Sammes Singers,[5] including additional lyrics and a distinctive arrangement with backing vocals.

][citation needed] In 2011, Gracey released a Dutch version[clarification needed] that reached #75 on the singles charts in the Netherlands[6] and Lorenz Büffel recorded his French version "Aramsamsam" for his album Après Ski Hits 2011.
