The arabesque is a form of artistic decoration consisting of "surface decorations based on rhythmic linear patterns of scrolling and interlacing foliage, tendrils" or plain lines, often combined with other elements. Another definition is "Foliate ornament, used in the Islamic world, typically using leaves, derived from stylised half-palmettes, which were combined with spiralling stems". It usually consists of a single design which can be 'tiled' or seamlessly repeated as many times as desired. Within the very wide range of Eurasian decorative art that includes motifs matching this basic definition, the term "arabesque" is used consistently as a technical term by art historians to describe only elements of the decoration found in two phases: Islamic art from about the 9th century onwards, and European decorative art from the Renaissance onwards. Interlace and scroll decoration are terms used for most other types of similar patterns.
Arabesques are a fundamental element of Islamic art but they develop what was already a long tradition by the coming of Islam. The past and current usage of the term in respect of European art can only be described as confused and inconsistent. Some Western arabesques derive from Islamic art, but others are closely based on Ancient Roman decorations. In the West they are essentially found in the decorative arts, but because of the generally non-figurative nature of Islamic art, arabesque decoration is there often a very prominent element in the most significant works, and plays a large part in the decoration of architecture.

The all-girl trio Arabesque was created by two Frankfurt-based German producers at the height of the disco era in 1977. After one album and a few singles that had found surprising success in Japan, the producers changed the lineup, keeping Michaela Rose and replacing the two other girls with Jasmin Vetter and Sandra Lauer. Vetter, a former gymnast, also became the trio's choreographer and Lauer, soon to be billed simply as Sandra, assumed the position of a lead vocalist. The first single of the updated Arabesque, Hello, Mr. Monkey went to number one in Japan. The Far East remained the band's biggest market, with numerous albums and compilations released over the years. However, Arabesque's success in their homeland was very modest, with only one single, Marigot Bay, entering the German cha...

Oh arabesque
Ever becoming which I’m not
You’re always dreaming of a stronger light
Oh arabesque
All of the patterns in your faith
All into locking, you’re invincible
Strange noises from behind your door
How I long to be inside
Speak you voices that I can’t ignore
If it weren’t for you I swear I would’ve died
Oh arabesque
I see you suffer with your sins
Loving is easy when you fall in love
Oh arabesque
My movie’s running and it’s late
So call me tomorrow and I’ll stay with you
Strange noises from behind your door
How I long to be inside
Speak voices that I can’t ignore
If you weren’t there for me I swear I would’ve died
You see tomorrow is opening
With the speaks for us and the sigh
You and I, we get stuck between
Your feelings and my pride
Oh arabesque
I didn’t mean to make you sad
All I was trying to do is sing for you
Oh arabesque
Do you remember when we met?
Do you remember all the silences?
Strange noises from behind your door
How I long to be inside
Speak voices that I can’t ignore
If you weren’t there for me I swear I would’ve died
