What's The Connection? Walking In 1

This connection is a follow up to previous Walking Connections. There are some duplicates, but this comp is different because each title has Walking In within the title. Inside this are a few versions of the Shangri-Las hit, even though the Go-Go's put the parentheses around the wrong part. Flash and the Pan does a version of another hit that I know most from Grace Jones (who is on one of the other Connections). My favorites are the Blackbyrds and probably Missing Persons. But all are pretty good.

    A very obscure Dutch band had a song called Walking In The Woods, by Four One & Onlies.
    Horizon 222 had a beautiful song, unfortunately it is Walkin ON the Air. Beautiful song with Lee Perry Sample (if I remember correctly). Another one for the Walk selection

    and an iconic Dutch version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sU7qbfrPQCw&t=6s
    When it is just plain walking there is the Walking Club Anthem
    by Toon Hermans, here in a version by Jasperina De Jong

    Police are walking on the moon, Neil Young, Roy Orbison, John Hiatt, Boston, Sonny Terry & Browny McGee, they all Walk On, Eddy Money, Milk Inc, Blodwyn Pig Walk On Water, CCR Walk On The Water, Katrina & The Waves are Walking On Sunshine, Just like Eddy Grant, (Rockers Revenge took it to the Charts), Kenny Neal, Archie Campbell both Walking on Fire. Dr John - I walk on guilded splinters, Funny Guys Gefilte Joe & The Fish - Walk On The Kosher Side, talking about, check out Jimmy Smith -1962- Walk On The Wild Side, Annie Lennox - Walking On Broken Glass, Jimmy Dean - Walk On, Boy
    More than enough I guess. But mind the speed, Peter Jacques band - Walking On Music. finally this spoilsport UB 40- Don't walk on the grass
    and one of my favorite Walk On songs doesn't have it in the title, Buggles - Lenny
