Sabre Dance

So last week my hubs loses one of his two sets of car keys.  

He has this bizarre obsession that he must have both sets on him at all times, even though a) they're identical in every way, and b) he only needs one set to run his car. 

Then one evening after supper, while I'm at the computer selling stuff on Etsy and listening to Dave Edmunds' version of Sabre Dance, hubs comes downstairs proudly displaying both sets of keys, and commences to dance to the music while waving the keys around.

Here's the song from YouTube.  Now close your eyes and imagine a grey-bearded gent in a grubby t-shirt and Dockers shorts dancing to it while waving car keys.

A million pardons

but I'm not sure where this glittering personage is from.

He's probably supposed to be North African, or maybe Middle Eastern, but I think there's a remote possibility he's an East Indian nabob.

OR maybe here's a European in costume.  That actually makes more sense since the late 19th/early 20th century was a big time for exploration and the explorers liked to go native now and again.
