This song came out almost 10 years before I was born.
Some of the old stuff is actually pretty neat....
""Roxanne" is a hit song by the rock band The Police, first released in 1978 as a single and on their album Outlandos d'Amour." - WIKI

Better to regret something you have done than something you haven't.
Saw them perform it live at Exhibition Stadium.
Did you listen to any other Police Tunes?
Beds To Big Without You
Cant Stand Loosing You
Driven to Tears
Be My Girl
Murder By Numbers
Their later stuff got pretty schmaltzy.

Stewart rocks it.

Truly. And Coupland went on to compose soundtracks. I think Rumblefish was his first.
Then he shows up in Oysterhead with Les Claypool and Trey Anastasio.

Best drinking song ever. Get however many people are at the party, split the room in half, one side drinks to Roxanne and the other side drinks to red light. Ahhhhh, memories....
GTAM- your #1 stop for internet tough guys
BIG BIG TUNE!! Love The Police (the more poppy stuff, not the older punk/ska stuff) and Roxanne is one of my favorites. Its one of those songs that nobody can cover just right, I dont even think Gordon can sing it the same way he did that first time..lol

That kid is sick! But he is still missing the falsetto warble and righteous indignation tone of the original.

This song came out 14 years before I was born ... another fav.
""Showdown" is a song written by Jeff Lynne and recorded by the Electric Light Orchestra.
It was the band's last contemporary recording to be released on the Harvest label. In the US, the song was included on the album On The Third Day (1973)," - Wiki

Agreed. Hes singing in key however, and in the original octave without falsetto. His voice is likely either just changed, or on the way.
Either way, the kids pretty good .
I"m pretty sure Oswald Bates was based on that Eddy Murphy skit.

anybody else go to the "Police picnic" in Oakville in '78? They played a small park off Dundas down by 16 mile creek.
Can't imagine why they never got another permit to hold that event.......
More like today's music is crap.
Try and find a torrent for quadrophenia the movie, Sting had a minor role in the movie but he was fairly impressive.
Belllllbooooyyyyy.....

And yea. Music today (most of it anyway) is total garbage.

I know you're old, though. :P

Good list! "Running on Empty" playing in the background as I type ... thanks for the reminder about that one. "Doctor My Eyes" is on the suggestions page when you open that - that's another good one. There is a lot of good music from the 1970's and early 1980's. I don't listen to today's stuff ...
