Streets of Cairo was published in 1895 by James Thornton, adapting a traditional melody already associated with Middle Eastern street music. Over the next century it became the default snake charmer tune in American cartoons, films and vaudeville, and children turned its opening bars into the playground parody about a place in France where the naked ladies dance. That long second life keeps the riff familiar across generations. Gamers know this short version from Gex 3, where it underlines the game's cartoon parody style, and online editors still reuse it as instant shorthand for deserts and bazaars.

The Streets of Cairo sound effect is the famous snake charmer melody from Gex 3, used for desert scenes, belly dance jokes and sneaky entrances.
This short clip plays the instantly recognisable Streets of Cairo riff, a winding, flute-like melody that rises and falls in a playful, hypnotic pattern. The tune immediately signals something exotic, mysterious or slightly silly, which is why it is so often linked to snake charmers, desert markets and belly dancers in cartoons and games. In this Gex 3 version the melody is clean and punchy, lasting just a few seconds before it loops in your head. It works because the listener understands the joke instantly, even without any picture or dialogue to explain the scene being parodied on screen at all.
