Not Since Nineveh

Not Since Nineveh

"Not Since Nineveh" is a popular song.

It was from the 1953 musical "Kismet" and is credited to Robert Wright and George Forrest. Like all the music in that show, the melody was in fact based on music composed by Alexander Borodin, in this case, Borodin's "Polovtsian Dances."
