    Trivia
  • The Desert Song opened at the Casino Theatre on November 30, 1926 and ran for 471 performances.
  • The Desert Song and the Cold War: The original refrain for The Riff Song includes the lines: "Ho!/That`s the sound that comes to warn you/So!/In the night or early morn, you know/If you`re The Red Shadow`s foe/The Riffs will strike with a blow/That brings you woe!" In this remake, filmed in the early Fifties at the height of the Cold War and McCarthyism, the "Red Shadow" sounded uncomfortably like the Soviet and Chinese communists, so the lyrics were changed to "If you`re El Khobar`s foe". When Gordon MacRae re-recorded the songs for the record album featuring Dorothy Kirsten as Margot, the original lyrics were restored.
