Correct Answer: People balancing on a boat
The answer is: Balancing on a boat. 1986's “Walk Like an Egyptian” was written by Liam Sternberg, a music producer who was a fan of the Bangles. While on a ferry crossing the choppy English Channel, he noticed that passengers made funny-looking moves to stay balanced.Sternberg made the note “Walk like an Egyptian” and soon wrote the song. When the Bangles received a demo, they liked how it gave each band member a vocal role. The song became a hit along with their second studio album, “Different Light.”Source
