"Walk Like an Egyptian" is a 1986 single by American pop rock band The Bangles from their album Different Light. It is used as the ending theme for the first half of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders.

Ending Animation

The ending animation begins with Star Platinum clapping its hands before reopening them. A clock appears, wrapped in green flames and the vines of Jonathan's Stand. The clock's hands swiftly tick away before morphing into an arrow that rapidly moves along a sandy background, switching directions several times. It then fades on to a slideshow of the Joestar Group starting with Jotaro Kujo who has Star Platinum facing the opposite direction behind him. They are surrounded by various strings with the same triangle pattern as his belt and some Tarot Cards, with Jotaro holding the one representing the Star.

Several more cards fly in front of them as Noriaki Kakyoin catches the Hierophant one, his torso twists into Hierophant Green as the camera pans down, mirroring him vertically. As fire sweeps in front of them Magician's Red catches the Magician card in its mouth with Muhammad Avdol behind him. The flames circle rapidly as an Ankh symbol appears that fades into Hermit Purple with the Hermit card at its center. Joseph Joestar grabs it as he holds onto his hat. It zooms in on another Tarot card, but it flies away revealing Jean Pierre Polnareff and Silver Chariot standing back-to-back. The Chariot card flies in front of them before ending with a shot of the silhouettes of the Crusaders walking around in Cairo, Egypt inside an eye-like formation. The eye closes, fading out the animation.

English Lyrics

All the old paintings on the tombs,
They do the sand dance, don't you know?
If they move too quick (Oh whey oh)
They're falling down like a domino.

All the bazaar men by the Nile,
They got the money on a bet.
Gold crocodiles (Oh whey oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette.

Foreign types with their hookah pipes say
(Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh)
Walk like an Egyptian.

The blond waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They got the moves. (Oh whey oh)
You drop your drink then they bring you more.

All the school kids so sick of books,
They like the punk and the metal band.
When the buzzer rings, (Oh whey oh)
They're walking like an Egyptian.

All the kids in the marketplace say
(Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh)
Walk like an Egyptian.

Slide your feet up the street, bend your back
Shift your arm and then you pull it back.
Life is hard you know (Oh whey oh)
So strike a pose on a Cadillac.

If you want to find all the cops
They're hanging out in the donut shop.
They sing and dance (Oh whey oh)
Spin the clubs cruise down the block.

All the Japanese with their yen
The party boys call the Kremlin
And the Chinese know (Oh whey oh)
They walk the line like Egyptian.

All the cops in the donut shop say
(Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh)
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian.
