The song "Egypt, Egypt" by The Egyptian Lover (https://youtu.be/qjFs9CPGhts?si=ZolRFeKKIJByhvum) (I discovered this playing GTA: Vice City Stories 20 years ago), released in 1984, has an interesting part around the 2:45 mark that you guys may want to check out.

The Streets of Cairo has been used so often to the point where nobody is even sure what the original is called anymore! True shit...

What Shaun said. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabian_riff

I knew the riff appeared in Istanbul (Not Constantinople) and Steve Martin's King Tut, and I knew there were many more, but I didn't realize how many more until I read the Wikipedia article. Oh Mummy even gets a mention :D

Whoa, I didn't know it was such an old song! Thanks, guys.

What I do think it's very likely about the Egyptian Lover version is Oh Mummy programmers getting their inspiration from it. It's the same year, it's too much of a coincidence.

Its obvious Oh Mummy was the original  ;D  its amazing how many times the music has been used commercially.

Hmm I wonder how hard it is to make lambda speak play the mp3 as an option in oh mummy (keeping the original oh mummy music as an option)
