Yeah, it's a great party mix. Great dance tune in either version. I actually tried to get my band to cover it back when it was huge hit, just because I thought throwing in a few crowdpleasers would be fun. It was just too obvious for our style, I guess, since we played almost all our own original tunes.

I was the bass player and I'd often start off band practice with that chugging baseline and shout out "C'mon boys, join in with me!" They never did. :(

I've been listening to the auto of "Flashboys" and like all his other work it is first-rate. I've been away copies of his book of youth sports to coaches I've met - including David Shaw at Stanford. Got a nice, hand-written thank you note from him for that one.

My daughter just pointed out that maybe he thought that 'Walk Like An Egyptian' was their national anthem. Yeah, that apple did not fall very far from the tree.

Here is the extended version which is a hell of a lot better than the pop hit. Bit more emphasis on the drumming and keyboards, not just repeating the chorus. And the guitar-work is pretty damn good. https://www.youtube.com/wat...
