Since I wasn't here in the late '80s and a basic Internet search isn't turning anything up, I'm turning to you, Cream Readers—he and she of vast music trivia, hometown pride and late '80s Bangles parodies—to help solve this local music conundrum.
From a reader:
WHAT RADIO STATION DID A SONG "DRIVE LIKE A NASHVILLIAN" IN THE MID 80'S. MUSIC WAS TO WALK LIKE AN EGYPTIAN. I AM TRYING TO FIND A COPY OF THE LYRICS. ANY SUGGESTION? THANKS!

Our pick of the week: Bobby Rush. (But we're going to remind you about the Moustache May celebration and Le Tigre DJ set later.)
