SummersRadio™ New Remix + Free Download! The Bangles - 'Walk Like An Egyptian' (Bassnectar's 2003 Remix) Lorin Ashton is from Santa Cruz California and is better known as Bassnectar and he has an interesting story behind this song... "A few hours after hearing the news that Egypt was becoming a democracy I was sitting on a plane next to my buddy Tamer, who is Egyptian, and the joy in his face was electrifying. He was beaming, and I thought maybe it would be fun to dust off this old tune and huck it out into vapor space".
"This was a song I loved as a child, and something I started working on back in 2002. I called it the 2003 remix because I think that is when I actually finished it, but of course I never released it; just kept it as a secret weapon and bootleg. (I love the whistling part in the middle.)"
The Bangles are an all female band from Los Angeles - and 'Walk Like An Egyptian' was a world wide number one hit from their 'Different Light' album which was released in 1986. The band is currently preparing for a summer concert tour (dates are still to be announced) and will be playing the 25th anniversary of the SXSW Music Festival in Austin Texas in March!
