Other adaptations

[These were moved from the original Wikipedia article. Since the Kismet adaptation of the dances is the most significant, these others would need strong justification to be put back into the article.]

In 1940 Artie Shaw recorded "My Fantasy" (credited to composers Whiteman-Meskitt-Edwards) which has a tune virtually identical to this dance.

This dance also appeared in the Warren G rap single "Prince Igor", where the original Russian lyrics were sung by Sissel Kyrkjebø, who also appeared in the accompanying music video. Subsequently, other rappers recorded cover versions.

British string quartet bond recorded an instrumental version of the women's dance in their album "Shine", renamed "Strange Paradise" to fit with Kismet's use of the melody.

The TV anime series RahXephon, Princess Tutu and Noir featured the same melody.

A remix of the full piece (with chorus) was included on DDR Extreme 2.
