Notes:
Bing Crosby's connection to Middle Eastern themes in music was likely limited to occasional novelty songs or film soundtracks that incorporated stereotypical "exotic" elements popular in Western entertainment of his era. These representations were often superficial and based on Western perceptions of Middle Eastern culture rather than authentic musical traditions. Any use of Middle Eastern themes in Crosby's work would have been incidental to his main repertoire of popular American songs.
