"Walk Like an Egyptian" (1986) The Bangles

This was a big hit. We didn't buy it but enjoyed its charm.

Walk Like an Egyptian - Wikipedia

Liam Sternberg said he was inspired to create the song while on a ferry crossing the English Channel. When the vessel hit choppy water, passengers stepped carefully and moved their arms awkwardly while struggling to maintain their balance, and that reminded Sternberg of the depiction of human figures in ancient Egyptian tomb paintings. He wrote the words "Walk like an Egyptian" in a notebook. Later, Sternberg looked back in the notebook and, composing the melody with a guitar, he put together an up-tempo song with lyrics about Egyptian hieroglyphs, the Nile River, crocodiles, desert sand, bazaars and hookah pipes and then segued into modern scenes of blonde waitresses, school children and police officers.^[5]

Sternberg referring to "the sand dance" in the song's lyrics has made some see Sternberg inspired by earlier pop culture dances associated with Ancient Egypt, such as the 1930s sand dance of Wilson, Keppel and Betty and even earlier performances.^[6]
