"Walk Like an Egyptian" is a song made famous by American band the Bangles. It was released in September 1986 as the third single from the album ''Different Light''. It was a million-selling single and became Billboard's number-one song of 1987. ==Origin== Liam Sternberg wrote the song after seeing people on a ferry walking awkwardly to keep their balance, which reminded him of figures in Ancient Egyptian reliefs. The opening lyrics state, "All the old paintings on the tombs/They do the sand dance don't you know". The reference to the sand dance possibly refers to a music hall routine performed by Wilson, Keppel and Betty where Wilson and Keppel danced around in the postures portrayed on the reliefs wearing the fez while Betty watched.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher= BBC Online )〕
