There is a unique brand of wolf or jackal native to the deserts of north africa..... I believe this is it.

Mind you, could be a street mutt! Cairo has a lot of those

I haven't listened to this in years. I'll have to dig this one out of my cd collection and give it a listen.

I would buy this album just for the photo on the cover!

Too bad it's listed on Amazon at $45??? HUH? {#Eek}

It's incredible that this little gem doesn't reach at least an 8 average rating ...

Damn.  Love the lyrics to this song. 

Now I don't want to bring up a delicate matter
No I'd much rather bribe or flatter you
'Cause flattery gets me everywhere

But you've punctured my tires, you've crossed all my wires
I brand your acolytes as a pack of liars
And the fire's singing everywhere

I leant you some collateral to buy new clothes
It went out the window and up your nose
And that's the end of the honeymoon

Steve Kilbey's the only guy who could write this stuff......

Driver8, would that temple be considered a ziggurat? Cute dog.

isn't that (ziggurat) a candy bar? i keed!
I guess it could be considered a ziggurat. Wiki reports about ziggurats in mesopatamia while this one is in Egypt. Something of note:

Joseph Campbell in his Masks of God books says that there is archaelogical evidence supporting a direct link between Mesopotamian ziggurats and the pyramids of Egypt. Campbell also states that from Egypt, the Mesopotamian culture was passed on almost simultaneously on two separate fronts to Crete and India. From India it reached China and from there it crossed the ocean to the pre-columbian societies of Central and South America, which could explain the similarities between ziggurats and Mayan pyramids.

Shades of The The in this number, the singer sounding more than a little like Holly Johnson. IMO naturally :)

Definitely not a cover of the Grateful Dead's Ripple. Now that would be something to hear, wouldn't it?

High lights from research by Joseph Burns :
1) It is the Step Pyramid of King Zoser of the Third Dynasty - who reigned from c2780 to 2720 BC.
2) The Step Pyramid is found at the site of Saqqara in Egypt and pre-dates what we commonly know as the pyramids and is built differently.
3) Historians say it is the 'first' pyramid built with 'steps', while later pyramids are big triangular mountains of rock.
4) Its creator, Imhotep, came to be deified in later Egyptian tradition. He is the first artist whose name has been recorded in history, and deservedly so, since his acheivement is standing still today."
5) Under King Zoser, a set calendar in egypt of 365 days started in 2772. Also this period has the first reports of domesticated dogs in Egypt.
6) The dog that graces the album cover is in fact called Spot, and not Fido as many scholars have suggested.
