#13 - 1980's Sounds - The Bangles I first heard "Walk like an Egyptian" at the nightclub in Munster, Germany. The nightclub is on the tip of my tongue. Like if you said it, I'd know it. I'd heard "Manic Monday" before, but the Bangles hit it out of the park with this song. Who were they? I managed to find out who they were - Susanna, Michael, Debbie and Vicki and Debbie and Vicki were sisters. They were just 4 girls from SoCal who liked to jam. One thing that really impressed me were the vocal harmonies of the girls. These girls could harmonize like the Beatles. I picked up the "Different Light" CD and it went into the playlist. Now Michael wasn't the original bassist, it was Annette, but Annette left and Michael joined them just in time for All Over the Place. The Bangles did release an EP with Annette on it in 1982. I have that. On cassette. Michael left the band in 2005 and Annette joined back in 2018. In 1989, when I was stationed in Romulus NY, I went and saw the Bangles play at the NY State Fair in Syracuse NY. It was general admission and I was right up front by Michael. Some guy rushed Susanna Hoffs but security got him. I got all their albums: All Over the Place, Different Light, Everything, Doll Revolution, and Sweetheart of the Sun. Over the years, the Bangles have been a little bit of everything to me - relaxing, jamming, fun, and a balm on a wounded soul. Mostly, they've been a good jam when I needed one. I've got a lot of favorite Bangle songs but the ultimate Bangle tune is "Walk Like an Egyptian." In 2000, The Bangles were entered into the Vocal Hall of Fame. They deserved it! Even today, if I just want to let go and enjoy some music, I turn on the Bangles. WALK LIKE AN EGYPTIAN The Bangles |
