- Rebecca Came Back From Mecca
"Rebecca Came Back from Mecca" is a popular song with words and music by the great songwriting team of Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby- the song was published in 1921.
"Rebecca Came Back from Mecca" had considerable popularity in its day. The song falls into the category "Oriental Fox-Trot," and about the far east, which was still somewhat mysterious to the average American. The song even contains a reference to Theda Bara-
"She's as bold as Theda Bara, Theda's bare but Becky's bare-er..."
The song has been recorded by The New Leviathan Oriental Foxtrot Orchestra, and more recently by Janet Klein.
