jbunniii Aug 12, 2012 - 09:45	The lyrics for this one are actually pretty embarrassing. Still, it's better than the average multimillion-selling pop record. [ Reply ]

lemmoth May 09, 2012 - 12:16	Another example of a big hit, played often on the radio and MTV in my day, which still deserves to be heard on RP. Why - BECAUSE ITS A GREAT FREAKING SONG [ Reply ]

I saw them during the same tour, too. But it was obvious who's the boss this time, for real. Whole concert sounded more Sting then Police oriented. They were missing... an edge. [ Reply ]

There's a huge selection of interesting, beautiful, NOT-overexposed music out there... like the wonderful piece by Ray LaMontagne that followed this one today. Okay, rant over, except to plead with you (the programmers) to just skip the well-worn in favor of roads less traveled.... Second, with caveat. There is a great song on this CD never played. The title track of the CD (# II) is wonderful (as is the rest of this great CD). [ Reply ]

Carl Nov 01, 2011 - 05:46	Went to a Philharmonic concert last weekend with a group called "Jeans n' Classics" from Toronto that were terrific. Did a show of Sting and Police music (including this, obviously). Besides "impersonating" the originals so well, I was amazed at how well they transferred the music to an orchestra fronted my guitars and drum kit. Based on that experience, I'm probably upping my Police ratings, henceforth. [ Reply ]
Propayne Jun 28, 2011 - 07:25	I got married in '83 when this song was "overplayed". Still married so this song has good connotations for me. [ Reply ]
katiediddler Jun 28, 2011 - 07:25	Made sense that they hung it up after this album, It's an almost perfect nuanced pop album. [ Reply ]

Johnny_Wave wrote: I'd agree with this point in general, but occasionally queuing up a classic track seems OK to me. Songs should stand on their own merits, and just because a given song may have been wildly popular in the past, that should not disqualify it from being part of the RP roster. Besides, what happens if that "wonderful piece by Ray LaMontagne" caught on with the mainstream somewhere down the road and ended up getting massive airplay over and over and over again — if it appeared on RP a couple of years later, would it suddenly be any less interesting and beautiful? Perfect response - should be reposted everywhere somewhere complains about a song that was "overplayed on commercial radio" getting played on RP. [ Reply ]

Which just goes to show you that Blender sucks, and I guess they'd rather everyone just sing about gettin' chicks and not being able to drive 55. Thank goodness RP is better than that. I love Rush.

ziggytrix Mar 25, 2011 - 12:26	I had that line "You consider me the young apprentice / caught between the Scylla and Charibdis" rattlin around in my head just the other day. Some of Sting's best lyrics ever in this one! [ Reply ]
