2. Not only this Smooth Jazz band shares same band name, they have a song called "Millenium"(2006) that is exactly same title (intentionally misspelled) as the other Incognito's (Jazz Funk) song on their album "100° and Rising"(1995), plus the logo resembles in font. The title "Every Day"(2006) on the album Street Smarts exactly alike in titles (when read) with the other Incognito's famous tune "Everyday"(1995). They are often tagged totec radio. Also mis-tagged by fans as bluey where there's no link to Jean-Paul "Bluey" Maunick himself. r00ts & t4lk1n l0ud tags also used, that could mislead fans to the Bluey's famous tunes like "Roots" & "Talkin' Loud".

Nights Over Egypt
Incognito Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Over pyramids at Giza
Where there once lived a girl
She ruled the world
Then down the nile
He came with a smile
He was the king
She was the queen
Your eyes won`t believe
What your mind can`t concieve
Oooh
Nights over Egypt
Nights over Egypt
Nights over Egypt
Incense & myrrh
And girls that swirl
To the music
Nights over Egypt
Women fellahin
Wear veils to been seen
By no one
Take a caravan across
The sudan
Saharan fagade
Is just a mirage
Oasis in the sand
Where life once began
Under the moonlight
Your eyes won`t believe
What your mind can`t concieve
Nights over Egypt
Nights over Egypt
Nights over Egypt
Nights over Egypt
The lyrics in Nights Over Egypt by Incognito paint a picture of a mystical and exotic land of Egypt, where a girl once ruled the world. The song begins by describing the sky over pyramids at Giza, and introduces the listener to a girl who once had immense power and control. As the song progresses, it is revealed that there was a king who came to the land of Egypt, and this girl became the queen. The two of them lived in the land where the nights in Egypt are unlike anything else in the world.
The song's chorus provides a vivid contrast between the peaceful and gentle sensations conjured by incense, myrrh, and swirling girls with the hard and vibrant vibe of music. The song then switches to describe the women in Egypt wearing veils to be seen by no one, separating themselves from the rest. The song suggests taking a caravan across the desert of Sudan and admiring the deceptive beauty of the Sahara."During the hazy night, the moon casts shadows on the sand dunes, appearing like an oasis which is interpreted as a symbol of the commencement of life in Egypt.
Line by Line Meaning
There`s a sky in the east
The eastern sky has a captivating beauty
Over pyramids at Giza
The pyramids located in Giza add to the beauty of the sky in the east
Where there once lived a girl
Once, there lived a girl in Egypt, in Giza and under the eastern sky
She ruled the world
The girl was in control of everything around her
Then down the nile
Down the Nile river, where the water flows, life is different
He came with a smile
A man came with a big, happy expression on his face
He was the king
The man was very powerful, like a king
She was the queen
The girl was also very powerful, like a queen
Under the moonlight
The things that appear beneath the moon's light are magical
Your eyes won`t believe
One's eyes cannot help but be enchanted by such sights
What your mind can`t concieve
It's impossible to imagine how incredible this experience is until you have it yourself
Oooh
A sound of amazement and wonder
Nights over Egypt
The stunning and captivating nights in Egypt
Incense & myrrh
The air is filled with the sweetly scented smoke of incense and myrrh
And girls that swirl
Women gracefully dancing in colorful clothing add to the beauty of the night
To the music
These women are dancing in time to the enchanting music
Women fellahin
Peasant women
Wear veils to been seen
The only way they can be seen is by wearing veils
By no one
The women wear the veils so they will not be seen by anyone
Take a caravan across
Traveling via caravan
The sudan
The Sudan desert
Saharan fagade
The illusion of something that appears to be real but isn't actually there, much like a mirage in the desert
Is just a mirage
This illusion disappears when approached
Oasis in the sand
A small area of lush vegetation in the midst of a desert
Where life once began
It is believed that the world was created in this spot
Nights over Egypt
The enduring, spectacular nights in Egypt

"Nights Over Egypt" is a perfect example of the reason I am a fan of Incognito.
Their music selection.
Incognito records or performs a list of songs I could have given them from my phone playlist.

Hard to believe 1999 was 22 years ago. I remember it like it was yesterday. An exciting time, as the new millennium approached, and this was among my favourite tunes of that year.
@furious3383
