Girl Friend of the Whirling Dervish Girl Friend of the Whirling Dervish "(The) Girl Friend of the Whirling Dervish" was a novelty song written by Harry Warren, Al Dubin, and Johnny Mercer. In an Orientalist jazz musical style and with a Turquesque confusion of Islamic, Indian, and Western cultural motifs, it recounts the amorous adventures of the eponymous unfaithful sweetheart of an oblivious Whirling Dervish amid a number of musicians who compete for her affections. The song first appeared in the 1938 Warner Brothers film "Garden of the Moon", where it was performed by John Payne, Johnnie Davis, Jerry Colonna, and Joe Venuti and His Swing
