Walk like an Egyptian è il terzo singolo del gruppo musicale femminile The Bangles estratto dal loro secondo album Different Light, pubblicato nel 1986 dalla Columbia.

Il brano

Il singolo fu un notevole successo in tutto il mondo, ed è a tutt'oggi uno dei brani più rappresentativi della carriera del gruppo.

Il titolo del brano fa riferimento all'immagine stereotipata degli antichi egizi nella cultura popolare, visti sempre di profilo e con le braccia piegate ad angolo retto (così come sono dipinti nelle rappresentazioni pittoriche e scolpiti nei bassorilievi dell'epoca).

Le tre strofe della canzone sono cantate in sequenza prima dalla leader del gruppo e chitarra solista Vicki Peterson, poi dalla bassista Michael Steele e, dopo l'assolo di chitarra di Vicki, dalla cantante del gruppo e chitarrista ritmica Susanna Hoffs. La batterista Debbi Peterson si unisce ai cori.

Video

Nel video, diretto da Gary Weis, gli abitanti di una moderna metropoli camminano "all'egizia": dai pulitori di finestre ai pompieri fino agli yuppie e, grazie a delle animazioni, Lady Diana, Muʿammar Gheddafi e addirittura la Statua della Libertà.
