Ya Mustafa

"Ya Mustafa" also spelled "Ya Mustapha" (in Arabic يا مصطفى), is a well-known multilingual song from Egypt, composed by famous Egyptian Musician Mohamed Fawzi to feature in the Egyptian movie That's What Love Is (1961), in which Azzam appeared in cameo appearance as a singer while singing the song alongside leading actors Salah Zulfikar and Sabah, and which has then been recorded in many different languages for its unique and catchy tunes.

The song first became popular in Europe with the help of singer Bob Azzam, who released it in 1960 in France.

[1] The song has been performed in many different versions by many different singers worldwide, including in Greek ("Μουσταφά"), Turkish and Serbian ("Mustafa") languages, where they are very popular in the respective countries.

The comedy troupe Warkop made a parody of this song in their 1979 film debut, Mana Tahan.

"[14] This revision more directly insults Bassil, rather than his mother, and includes the President of Lebanon Michel Aoun.
