Not Everyone Walks Like an Egyptian Quiz

Answer: Walk the line like Egyptian

Only the schoolkids (who are "walking like an Egyptian" when the buzzer rings) and the Chinese (who specifically walk the line) are actually said to be walking like an Egyptian.

Sadly, the Chinese weren't listening to "Walk Like an Egyptian." Only the digital age has brought pop music to China.

Answer: Got the money on a bet

Yes, it's men from the bazaars, not bizarre men! Since there's actually no archeological evidence of bazaars in ancient Egypt, the bazaar men must be modern.

Answer: Do the sand dance

The oldest tomb paintings in Egypt go back about 5,000 years. The elaborate hidden tombs in the Valley of the Kings were created around 3,500 years ago. So yes, the paintings on the tomb are indeed old. And if they move too quick, they're falling down like a domino!

They're so sick of books. And when the buzzer rings, they're walking like an Egyptian.

The cops were the most active characters in "Walk Like an Egyptian." Not only do they hang out in the donut shop, they sing, dance, spin their clubs, cruise down the block, and say "Way-oh-way-oh."

Answer: Call the Kremlin

"All the Japanese with their yen/The party boys call the Kremlin." This leaves me to wonder if the party boys are Japanese or if they're just the next batch of people swept up in the Egyptomania craze.

Egyptomania tends to run in phases. The ancient Greeks and Romans were, of course, contemporaries of the ancient Egyptians. There was a huge surge of interest in Egypt among westerners when Napoleon brought his army through from 1798 to 180s.

Answer: Spin around and cross the floor

The waitresses in "Walk Like an Egyptian" are almost as active as the cops. They take their trays, spin around, cross the floor, and bring you more when you drop your drink. They've also got the moves.

Ancient Egyptians would most likely have been drinking beer as their alcoholic beverage of choice.

Answer: Say "Way-oh-say-oh."

Hookahs (elaborate water pipes for smoking) were actually developed in India and spread into Persia before finally making their way into Egypt.

Answer: Say "Way-oh-say-oh."

I'm assuming that these are the same kids that are sick of books and like the punk and the metal bands.
