Mamula Moon - This tune sounds very familiar?


"Negaraku" (English: "My Country") is the national anthem of Malaysia. "Negaraku" was selected as a national anthem at the time of the Federation of Malaya's independence from Britain in 1957. The tune was originally used as the state anthem of Perak. The tune was also used for a popular song of that time, Terang Bulan, which was in turn borrowed from the song Mamula Moon, sung by Felix Mendelssohn and his Hawaiian Serenaders.
