Egyptian in the Dark (with cover art even!)


Click above for the DL.

Note on the download: Divshare apparently changed how links to items organized in folders work. So, the download link is on the right like usual, but to hear it in the window, you have to scroll down in the little box they give you.

On to the song!
I was listening to Born in the USA the other day and I noticed how one of the the little synth parts in the background sounds exactly like the "ohhWAYYohh" part from Walk Like an Egyptian. So, I sped up Bruce and slowed down Susanna an arbitrary amount to make them fit, but it felt sort of empty. Lo and behold, the Beastie Boys fit the tempo perfectly. I know they're sometimes overused, but I just listened to Licensed to Ill this weekend, so I'm in a nasally white boy rap mood. Deal with it.
