Walk Like An Egyptian - The Bangles

"All the cops in the donut shop say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh"

One of their most famous songs, "Walk Like An Egyptian" by the 1980s girl band The Bangles just rocks. Not many people don't know this song, and a few even remember the hilarious music video with random people on the street walking like Egyptians.

Though I don't think Egyptians really walked like that - right?

"Walk Like An Egyptian" reached $3 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart in the UK, and #1 in the States. I guess that just goes to show that people in the United States like to walk funny.

With the hug success of this song, The Bangles propelled from the underground punk girl music scene to mainstream radio in the later half of the 1980s.
