Pulp fiction intro song (Misirlou) = Loreena McKennitt???

Pulp fiction intro song (Misirlou) = Loreena McKennitt???
So, my husband was listening to the intro to Pulp Fiction, and he turns to me and says "That is the same song as Marco Polo, the instrumental solo, on that one Loreena McKennitt Album".  I know which song he means, we have that album on the disc changer in our car, and it is one of his favorites.

So I play both the songs, the Original Misirlou by Dick and Dale, and Marco Polo by Loreena McKennit....and indeed they are nearly the same (the upbeat part).
McKennit admits to borrowing bits of her song from Sufi's.  Think Dick and Dale did the same back in the 60's?  
This is so weird.













Is he crazy, or is these basically the same songs?
