On October 23, 1977 the Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers instrumental 'Egyptian Reggae' entered the U.K. charts at #49. The charming tune, based on Earl Zero's 'None Shall Escape the Judgement', would be Richman's biggest hit, peaking at U.K. #5. That's despite the fact the song is neither Egyptian nor reggae. The video is a delight thanks to Richman's short-lived 'Vote For Pedro' mustache and the drummer's inability to bang a gong. The tune has regained some of its notoriety thanks to its inclusion on the Baby Driver soundtrack.
