Walk like an Egyptian?

I remember dancing around to the song "Walk Like an Egyptian" when I was a kid. Now when I listen to it, the lyrics seem rather offensive.
Maybe I'm just hypersensitive this week after studying Orientalism.
This video version is a mash up between the Bangles hit song and a Michael Jackson's video for "Remember the Time" - how postmodern!
Funny how the song and video go together so well. Most pop songs have the same rhythm which is why Girltalk's re-mixes work so well.
Postmodernism and Post colonial theory grabbed my attention this week. I feel like I am finally starting to think a little more critically about my culture, culture industry motives, and the psychology behind media. Most importantly, I'm realizing that all that I have been taught isn't necessarily true. It is always good to question before consuming and ingesting any sort of media.
And question stereotypes. What your fifth grade teacher taught you may not be entirely true.
