The Bangles, 1980s

Bill "Will Robinson" Mumy forming a band with other bygone rock stars and calling it Action Skulls is such a Venture Bros coded thing to do.

Makes sense, tho, as he is the partial inspiration for Rusty Venture.

Excuse me while I look up their music.

Who is he? (Image Source: Here; Note: You may see an error/warning of an expired webpage certificate.)

And what has he got to do with these oddly behaving people in the photo below?

He's Liam Sternberg. The lyricist who wrote Walk Like an Egyptian, performed by The Bangles.

The text from Wikipedia explains the origin of the song:

Liam Sternberg said he was inspired to create the song while on a ferry crossing the English Channel. When the vessel hit choppy water, passengers stepped carefully and moved their arms awkwardly while struggling to maintain their balance, and that reminded Sternberg of the depiction of human figures in ancient Egyptian tomb paintings. He wrote the words "Walk like an Egyptian" in a notebook. Later, Sternberg looked back in the notebook and, composing the melody with a guitar, he put together an up-tempo song with lyrics about Egyptian hieroglyphs, the Nile River, crocodiles, desert sand, bazaars and hookah pipes and then segued into modern scenes of blonde waitresses, school children and police officers.

Tip: Do read about Susanna Hoff's eye movements in the Music Video section of that Wikipedia page. Interesting.
