Unsure if this is what the title of the song refers to, but in the Bible, Salome was the name of the dancer whose stepfather, Herod, asked to dance for him and his guests at a gathering. In return, Salome was promised anything she wanted, and she asked for John the Baptist's head on a platter. Nowadays, Salome is a name that is commonly associated with belly dancers. Oscar Wilde also wrote a one-act play about Salome that was later turned into an opera by Richard Strauss. The scene in which Salome was presented with John the Baptist's head is also portrayed in several famous paintings.
