They lie!

The song was released in early 1986; so, if I do the math, I have to conclude that it took me 19 whole years to figure out that Walk Like An Egyptian, by the American all-girl band The Bangles, is actually a very crappy song, with an even crappier video.

And you know why?

Because I have never.

Ever!

Seen an Egyptian walk like this.

For shame!

Cheers

You have to give them credit for at least making a video that's better than the standard today.

Naa, the Egyptians didn't smile that much.
I was there.
I know.

As for The Bangles. Many a wet dream was had then...

I don't think I've ever seen an Egyptian AT ALL, except for in the movies (where they're usually played by white people - the ONLY black Egyptian I can think of from a Hollywood movie is Aaliyah in Queen of the Damned).

Susannah Hoffs was so damn hot in the '80s, she could have walked like a crab and I would have been transfixed.
