The melody in "Misirlou" comes from an old Greek folk song.
I don't think the L. McKennit song is the same melody, although it is similar in places - it just uses the same very characteristic scale - the Double Harmonic scale, which is fairly prominent in a lot of middle-eastern and Mediterranean folk music.
