This is a series of posts that will talk about some of my favorite songs that contain whistling. See if you agree with any of these!
“Walk Like an Egyptian” is a 1986 pop hit by the Bangles, written by songwriter Liam Sternberg, whose quirky inspiration came from observing people awkwardly balancing themselves on a ferry during rough seas, which he likened to the stylized poses seen in ancient Egyptian art; recorded for the album Different Light,

My second favorite album, by The Bangles, is their January 2, 1986 “Different Light”. It came about 1 1/2 years after their debut studio album “All Over The Place“. “Different Light”, on Columbia Records, would be their most successful album reaching number 2 on the Billboard 200. Five singles were released from this album.
