The use of 'walk like an Egyptian'

The use of this song shows how brilliant this show is.... they took an upbeat pop song that can be compared to "rock lobster" , and turned it into a song that seemed so dark. by far one of my favorite use of a soundtrack ever.
anyone else feel that with this (or other) song uses?

I knew of the song before and it just solidified this show as having all the best ass music.

I agree. The way they used it reminded me a lot of how 'Stuck in the Middle' was used in Reservoir Dogs and how 'Hip to be Square' was used in American Psycho.

Extremely effective and bordering on surreal.
