There are video slot machines (you can find them in just about any casino) called “Pharaoh’s Fortune,” with a big King Tut wearing sunglasses on top. This song plays every time you spin the reels. You get longer selections during bonus rounds.
So now I associate it with gambling.
All together now:
All the old paintings on the tomb
They do the sand dance, don’cha know?
If they move too quick (oh-way-oh)
They’re falling down like a domino
And the bazaar man by the Nile
He got the money on a bet
Gold crocodiles (oh-way-oh)
They snap their teeth on a cigarette
Foreign types with their hookah pipes sing
Way-oh-way-oh-way-ooo-aaa-ooo -
Walk like an Egyptian.
