The Dixie Dregs on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno January 7, 1993. They throw in some Eddie Cochran, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Knack, in the middle of the song. The quality is VHS but it is certainly entertaining.

My Favorite Albums – All Over The Place – The Bangles
One of my favorite albums is “All Over The Place” by the Bangles. I had just gotten a job at MSA in the mailroom, thanks to my friend Thomas F Jones, (I would later become a computer technician there). Their radio was tuned to WZGC (Z-93) and daily I would hear Walk Like An Egyptian and Manic Monday.
