On this day, February 16, 1923, English Egyptologist Howard Carter unsealed Tutankhamun's tomb.

I have no shame. Any excuse will work.

A nice tune from Boardwalk Empire season 3, ep. 1. No copyright infringement intended, all credit goes to HBO. The link to the original song:



Lyrics:

Three thousand years ago, King Tutty reigned you know,
He must have travelled greatly in his time.
For in his tomb out there, was gold and silver ware,
From big hotels of every land and clime.
While going through his royal robes they found up in his sleeve,
The first fig leaf that Adam gave to Eve.

In old King Tut-Tut-Tut-enkhamen's day,
Beneath the tropic skies King Tut-Tut-Tut was very wise,
Now old King Tut-Tut-Tut was always gay,
Cleopatra she sat upon his knee, Pat! that's where she sat.

The girls would dance for him and every move a treat,
They'd move and move and move but never move their feet.
A thousand girls would dance each day,
With lots of hip-hip-hip-hooray,
In old King Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut, King Tutty's Day.

(2x)

Three thousand years ago, In history we know,
King Tutenkhamen ruled a mighty land.
He ruled for many years, 'Mid laughter, song and tears,
He made a record that will always stand.

They opened up his tomb the other day and jumped with glee,
They learned a lot of ancient history.

Someone a few months back posted a video of a live performance of "Walk Like an Egyptian." I'm looking for that video.

{A bit later:} Here's the video I was looking for:

Fri Oct 14, 2022: 10 Days - 10 Great Live Performances The Bangles

1975-1985

Finally, after enduring the bleak Disco craze that utterly killed folk rock and anything interesting musically, a new sound emerges that wasn’t based on synthesized drum machines and laser lights: New Wave.

The Bangles, whom some might WRONGLY see as merely pop, started as a rocking guitar jam band and along with The Clash, Elvis Costello, The Ramones, and Devo took us back to a raw, defiant sound.

Here’s a high energy performance in Pittsburgh, PA, in which they perform their big hit at the time, “Walk Like an Egyptian.” Each member of the group gets a solo vocal part. Also, the promotion was apparently that some audience members got tee shirts, and one of those shirts gets tossed on stage and lands on a mike stand . . . Did not seem to phase Michael Steele, the bassist.
