The Bangles were a band that came on the US scene in the mid-80s. They had several great songs but honestly, this is the one that always makes me get up and walk!

Just bend your back – push your arm out and pull it back!
The video montage of various people walking like Egyptians always makes me laugh!
All the old paintings on the tombThey do the sand dance, don’t you knowIf they move too quick (oh way oh)They’re falling down like a domino
All the bazaar men by the NileThey got the money on a betGold crocodiles (oh way oh)They snap their teeth on your cigarette
Foreign types with the hookah pipes sayWay oh way oh, way oh way ohWalk like an Egyptian
The blonde waitresses take their traysThey spin around and they cross the floorThey’ve got the moves (oh way oh)
You drop your drinkThen they bring you moreAll the school kids so sick of booksThey like the punk and the metal band
When the buzzer rings (oh way oh)They’re walking like an EgyptianAll the kids in the marketplace sayWay oh way oh, way oh way ohWalk like an EgyptianSlide your feet up the streetBend your backShift your arm, then you pull it back
Life is hard you know (oh way oh)So strike a pose on a CadillacIf you want to find all the cops
They’re hanging out in the donut shopThey sing and dance (oh way oh)They spin the clubs cruise down the block
All the Japanese with their yenThe party boys call the KremlinAnd the Chinese know (oh way oh)They walk the line like EgyptianAll the cops in the donut shop sayWay oh way oh, way oh way ohWalk like an EgyptianWalk like an Egyptian

i loved the Bangles, Manic Monday, Walk like an Egyptian they were a group I listened to a lot in the 80s!
Woow, I haven’t heard this song in a long time. If I knew how to whistle, I would definitely whistle.
i love that song – always makes me move!
Our current society still acts like the Egyptian culture in regards to the class system. They disliked animal herders just like how this society belittles farmers.
it does feel that way sometimes
Such a fun song. Have not heard it in awhile. I cannot walk like an Egyptian. 🙂
when my knee and should hurt I walk like the mummy!
