It’s not that strange a pairing. Lots of Sting’s early songs with the Police had the reggae influence, so it’s not as though it’s the first time Sting’s ever used musical ideas from the Caribbean.

I think it’s a rather dull song, though, whether by Sting’s standards or by Shaggy’s standards.

Some wrestler fella I believe.

I was going to make some elaborate joke based on the song It Wasn’t Me and Sting’s love of tantric sex but I cba

I feel sorry for Jimmy Nail.

But she caught me on the counter (he’s lying)
Saw me bangin’ on the sofa (he’s lying)
I even had her in the shower (he’s lying)
She even caught me on camera (he’s lying)

She saw the marks on my shoulder (he’s lying)
Heard the words that I told her (he’s lying)
Heard the scream get louder (he’s lying)
WHY DOES HE PRETEND?

Remember when Sting made his mandolin album?

He was on BBC Breakfast plugging it one morning, and one of the presenters asked him what he was going to do next, and he replied “Well, mandolin albums don’t pay the bills, you know”, with a knowing wink, as if Sting has any issues at this point paying any bills.

I really, really, really hate Sting.

Poor Pato Banton. Surely must have felt he should have had first refusal?

Time for a Sting playlist in that other thread, methinks.

I remember having a listen to the Best of The Police a few years back. I mean when I was 6 or 7 they were EVERYWHERE but no one really rates them much now. I seem to recall the first half of the album interspersed overplayed singles with interesting tracks I liked.

And then it all just got bad.

“No one rates them much now”? I’d say it depends who you talk to.

I think the gauntlet has been thrown down.

In my experience of speaking to what I would call ‘the DiS demographic’ The Police and maybe moreso Sting are not considered to be a band anyone cares much for.

Did you read the thread title? I’m pretty sure all the bands mentioned here sell loads of albums so…
