Bangles - Walk Like an Egyptian (3 different mixes)

The version I knew best...

Die Ã„rzte - Gehn wie ein Ã„gypter
! No longer available

and this...

Die Ã„rzte-Zu SpÃ¤t
! No longer available

they couldn't do this live version these days without a lawsuit from International Red Cross:
! No longer available

The lyrics translation (I just did a quick look and they look pretty good, direct translation):

https://lyricstranslate.com/en/zu-spaet-too-late.html

Too late
Why did you do that to me?
I got the news from a friend
Youâ€™ve got a new boyfriend now
Iâ€™ve been crying for two weeks!

Now you look away, donâ€™t say hi anymore
And I still love you so much
I know what you like about him:
Iâ€™m poor, and heâ€™s rich!

You only love him because he has a car,
not like me, who only has a rickety ladiesâ€™ bike!

But one day I will take revenge
I will break every girlâ€™s heart
I will be a star then, who makes the news
And then youâ€™ll be sorry, but itâ€™ll be too late then!

Too late (too late), too late (too late), too late (too late)
Itâ€™ll be too late then, too late (too late), too late (too late),
Too late (too late), everything will be too late then

You went to the theater with him
I only read â€œFix & Foxiâ€ to you
He took you out for dinner â€“ to the Ritz, of course
I only served you currywurst (curry sausage) with french fries!

The thought kills me!
He gets what I donâ€™t have anymore
I hate him (if thatâ€™s even possible)
Just like I loved you before!

I wanted to beat up your superman
I didnâ€™t know that he also took karate lessons

But one day I will take revenge
I will break every girlâ€™s heart
I will be a star then, who makes the news
And then youâ€™ll be sorry, but itâ€™ll be too late then!

But one day I will take revenge.
I will break every girlâ€™s heart
I will be a star then, and you will run after me
But itâ€™ll be too late then, I wonâ€™t know you anymore then!

Too late (too late), too late (too late), too late (too late)
Itâ€™ll be too late then, too late (too late), too late (too late),
Too late (too late), everything will be way too late then

The Cure was an 80s icon in Dark Wave. But few know of the other group that sounded just like them, from instruments to vocals.

Uncanny!

Awesome selections gang... I had never heard of Die Ã„rzte @Suppressed ... thanks ...

I think Pete and Big Country (bass and drummer) did a few collaborations over the years @dfwgator. I just wish the group would of done a few things with RunRig (my other fave Scottish group), it almost was a thing at one time.

80s were known for some of the stupidest musicians when they stuck their noses in political matters. Especially dealing with South Africa. Today, these same musicians are nowhere to be found when South African white farmers are being killed.

I didn't know about that remix @RoosGirl , thanks. I loved a lot of Abba songs (more than I care to admit)... I think I have 4 remixes of the song by Abba, (our secret).

Speaking of which, I managed to watch that new film featuring a lot of Abba songs (Mamma Mia 2) the other day. It was ok, but nothing to write home about, I enjoyed the first one far more (even with the liberal crap in it).

This is a band from Poland, called "Lady Pank", they were huge in Poland, and this was still when Poland was behind the Iron Curtain.

They did record an English album in the mid-80s, and I remember seeing this video on MTV.

Anyway, of course it didn't go anywhere. But they are still legends in Poland, and still touring and making albums. I have a few myself, as I prefer their native Polish versions. They are a really good band, if you don't mind the language difference.

Thanks Dfwgator, I had never heard of them, reminded me of The Skids (punk late 70s early 80s). Good fun and something new which I am always on the lookout for. You seem to have quite a few surprises. Thanks again...

I wanted to post a couple of Skids songs here, but seems I must have it on the other computer at the moment in the shop.

Good band. I can really here the rhythm of "Welcome To The Jungle" by Guns 'n' Roses (vocal part of course). Of course, the above video predates this. Good group. I guess they were popular in Australia. Of course a different intro, music is very derivative.
