The Police - Walking on the Moon

[yooley]

Ten years from now people will be saying how great the music was back in 2012 and how it sucks in 2022. After you filter out all the junk, there are always a number of great tunes.

Finding it as it gets released is the hard part. For every good tune I come across on youtube, I just got done listenening to a few seconds of crap from a dozen other tunes.

[sanjurodog]

I listened to this cassette on my Walkman in 1986 (i was 14) until it fell apart. lol

and any time I want to go back to the beach, I can just put on a song from it and close my eyes.

[SassyTheTrucker]

Thak you dad for givig me the Police and all that good 80's music!!! Thank you for shielding me from modern music!!!!

[shaymusmus]

someee mightt sayy i dont deserve anyy payy but heyy i came up withhh 60ss dayy, last may.

[riff88m]

stupenda !

[Tonytbwtr1]

Was really glad to be around during The Police's inception. Having watched them grow into one of Rock & Roll's biggest and best groups ever has been a journey and adventure in acoustic heaven.

[spiralcrystal09]

love this song :)

[apotheases]

Anyone hear Homer Simpson singing this song on the season premiere?

[Metaldog67]

@apotheases too funny!

[falcris1000]

we are the police and 3 people are bad guys

[gatospecial1]

sem duvidas o melhor rock n roll de todos os tempos

[sonic15100]

thumbs up after you watched the moon mod you type in waking on the moon lol XD from simon and lewis

[sonic15100]

thumbs up after you watched the moon mod you type in waking on the moon lol XD

[ronaldvanderkleij]

The best of the commercial 80 songs.

[folkheroesfromspace]

Hey, our band might not be The Police but we are true to ourselves musically.

I think there are plenty of musicians around who still make music for music's sake.

[LAULGIREL]

The Police will always be unbelievably perfect...

[Hellfire5500]

great song of the 80's !!

[MrCubaismo]

love it

[migotka88]

zajebiste -> it's fuckin' good

[spudplayer]

I want to walk on the moon while listening to this !!!

Great song :)

[coltonbrandt1]

2 people got arrested by the police..

[piromaniac9999]

Sort of reggae like.

[ThatWouldBeMe101]

2 people have never been to the moon...

[mqslayer666]

I'm born in 1995 and I hate my damn generation....

[CertifiedGooner729]

@truchebeats1 Amen.

[aniangel181]

policee come backk! -.-

[raconmario]

The late 90s were a time of huge decline for music in general. There are some bands that surfaced then, and I like some of them, like Coldplay.

However, the rest of the bulk is complete shit. Nothing comes close to great bands like Pink Floyd, Metalica, Sting & The Police, Styx, Guns 'n' Roses, Red Hot Chili Peppers, to name a few. Most of the "music" today is nothing more than garbage you can grind to.

[DarkForceB]

One of the best Police songs with a touch of Reggae awsome song my favorite of all Police songs...There will never be another group like The Police awesome group thier songs will remain timeless.

[mexitec713]

@DarkForceB hell yeah, your right, there will NEVER be another group like the police lol

[DarkForceB]

2 people were stranded on the moon

[mh19448]

good song

[MrMusicofthesoul]

[fadik06]

i'm 9 months old and i like classic rock. better yet, i'm still in the womb.

[flippinSticks]

i love this song and all classic rock, im only 4 but i hate this generations music, its worthless, and has no meaning, you can hardly like a song, because they are just so dumb, talking about the same things, money, girls, clothes, "hoes", bling, whatever, its all stupid, nothings original anymore, everyone else is just waiting to copy the so called next big thing. seriously i love the music my parents made me listen to as a kid, and i still do, classic rock is the best, nothings like it.

[jameymci]

cas haley is better than sting ithink

[cnewman99]

Nobody beats Stewart Copeland's hi-hat work. It's amazing.

[pieper34]

i really love this song but i gotta admit that cas haley sings it better

[Allman247]

When I was younger and I listened to this band I prayed that they would be around for me to listen to when I got old the way Tony Bennett was around for my parents. Little did I know that this internet thingamabob would preserve those tunes and make them so readily accessible. God is good.

[stapestheman7]

this song is good legit

[44eelz]

reminds me of a tropical island

[666ferno]

i love this song <333

[vlovesrafa]

I just love The Police.I always liked the way they combined elements of reggae and jazz.I have alot of Sting's solo stuff too.

[mrrolle0]

Lass mal Stimmen tauschen.

[theritualking]

every band is shitty we are in one of the worst music droughts in the history of american music.

nickelback

theory of a deadman

saving abel

three days grace

WTF?FACE

[Zepoch1]

@theritualking hey its not all bad, we have Jack White.

[neeeeeeener]

@theritualking Haha those are Canadian bands :P

[icantthinkofaname292]

i love this song

[gforce4all]

police rock!!! thank's for the post.

[hendrixphish420]

@bygodthatsenough todays music is not worthless trash. just the mainstream shit.

you just gotta look a lil bit to find the actual good stuff, as opposed to being able to turn on any radio station and hear the same chart song 50 times in a row.

[bbaseballboy1234]

@hendrixphish420 this, there is actually some music out there thats worth checkin out, it may not be mainstream, but it rocks.

I havent listened to the police in forever

[willydominiak]

@bbaseballboy1234 i wouldn`t dare to say all mainstream is worthless,sometimes even the majority shows some good taste in musik

[bbaseballboy1234]

@willydominiak yes, yet rarely ;)

[MaxClarkso]

To all the people saying today's music sucks.

I hope you're talking about pop because that is the biggest pile of trash ever made.

But you don't have to dig to deep to find amazing alternative and indie rock songs.

[closerange88]

Love this track!

[vansbrand]

Gotta love this old analog sound..

[tjbaker856]

im high as fuck... and this songs trippy as fuck hahahahah :D

[Nostalgicaccount]

@tjbaker856 I'm not even high and this song is making me trippy.

[luki89]

awesome sound .. thanx uploader.. this is a great song

[dkmattkey]

@bygodthatsenough Fuck yeah you're right

[FJCorboMusic]

love the bass!

[Usaboy20]

lol i am a teenager and i looove this song

carry on the police

[ruler1978]

this is real music . new music sucks cock.

[dukez]

Smoke a Bowl and go walking on the Moon ! (;

[IndicaEuphora]

@bygodthatsenough Your just an overload of irony

[SuperiorBadBoy]

Had this song way....Back in the day...It's still resonates with me even if it does not to this "lost" generation...

[IronOscar]

shut up stupid teenagers, be proud to know this kind of music, nobody will be better than The Police and Sting, no tokio hotel or green day, no jonas brother or high school musical, they have to say thanks to the people like them. FOREVER POLICE

[Usaboy20]

@IronOscar lol i am 14 and love this song

[angiebrad1]

not all of "todays" music is "trash" - that is what "they" said .... and look where it got 'em....are you one of "they"??

[toolfreak666carey]

This song introduced me to the police xD

[fortifymypoo]

this is the first song i heard by the police and i always will love the police for it and i am not that old only 13

[cmts11]

I love The Police and this is just another example of how good they are, im only 14 but i seriously think i was born in the wrong era for music. i would have loved to see them play live back then with my own eyes.

[fortifymypoo]

@cmts11 ditto

[SpaceCowGal09]

@cmts11 Hey the police were touring a while ago. And I saw just 'sting' live a few years back and he played all the classic Police tracks. Check it out. Maybe your parents would take you.

[INFINITeGAMe83]

such a chill song

[markmor09]

light up sumthing green and cozy to this and enjoy!

[bbaseballboy1234]

@bygodthatsenough cool story bro

[DrKooBot]

@bygodthatsenough Todays music is not trash you old timers are not open minded enough to enjoy the hip hop and music of the new age and young folks are too stupid to enjoy the classics,real music connoisseurs have plenty of both in the library.And as for trechbeats comment what he means by i dont not own the right is that if you post a music video on youtube and state that you do not own the rights such as bbaseballboy1234 did in the bottom of this video than he cant get into trouble4copyright

[Dajuro]

@DrKooBot  . . hip hop: people that can't sing or play an instrument, pretending to be musicians.

[GalvestonSucksBalls]

@DrKooBot Hip hop isn't music. It's an excuse for people with no talent to feel like they are making music.

[nbardoutsos]

@GalvestonSucksBalls pretty closed minded of you to say..



[SuperiorSwagon1]

@DrKooBot Listen to what YOU like and mind your own buisness as to what others enjoy.

[BOAFEY]

@DrKooBot Very well said man. I love hip-hop and classic rock. It's pure expression. Good music comes from the heart and soul.

[MrFunkymonks]

cas haley sang an awsome cover of this song!!!

[cubsfan702]

bbaseballboy1234: You dont not own the rights?!

I dont not like this song!!!!?

[bbaseballboy1234]

lol, i just nenver feel like updating

[2356727]

@cubsfan702 you retarded

[elmascrack]

@cubsfan702 -_- I Know, This is weird bro

[ChillOholic]

the cover of "Cashma hoody" is much better

[KevinGreene299]

Some of the best bands that made the music from the 60s to 80s The police is a good band and can cover more then one form of music as this song shows. The last really oringanl group was Living colour in the 90s

[truchebeats1]

i love this song and all classic rock, im only 18 but i hate this generations music, its worthless, and has no meaning, you can hardly like a song, because they are just so dumb, talking about the same things, money, girls, clothes, "hoes", bling, whatever, its all stupid, nothings original anymore, everyone else is just waiting to copy the so called next big thing. seriously i love the music my parents made me listen to as a kid, and i still do, classic rock is the best, nothings like it.

[logom0]

exactly how i am, i am 18 too

[pierreGful]

same here tbh, I call for a revolution =D

[LadyZuZaNNa]

you are so right... I'm a tad older than you - 26, but I totally feel the same way, and am really glad there are more young people out there that aren't fascinated into robot-dom by the ridiculous Lady Gaga and her ilk. Yippee!

[truchebeats1]

hahah omg i hate her! shes so stupid and annoying!!! lolll

[ovavoo]

im 6 and love this..beat that lol

[fortifymypoo]

@ovavoo lol i gotta connection i was 7 when i first heard this i guess u got me beat :P

[davidrobert2007]

@ovavoo I'm a fetus and I love this. LOL

[Sarcophagus76]

@davidrobert2007 This in on my sperm's iPod on repeat...beat that :p

[retsaot]

@ovavoo

Nobody cares, fuck off

[killerkirbydude]

@ovavoo

Ha! I'm negative OVER 9000 and I love this song!

...

[beatlessexy]

@ovavoo 6, huh?

[idunnoabc]

I completely agree with you.

However, dont be too quick to write off all music today, if you look around enough, theres plenty of amazing stuff too.

Amazing tune this, always been one of my fave's :)

[BOMBheadDOM]

I'm 18 too buddy, but have faith. You've gotta listen to more of the underground stuff, cos underground music, in my opinion has a lot more originality in its music and meaning in it's lyrics etc. Mainstream mostly sucks, i know. Most of mainstream 'hip hop' isn't even hip hop; it's like some R&B-tinged shit. If i listen to one more mainstream hip hop record about a girl, then i have lost faith in humanity.

[LilRabidMutt]

Im 13 and agree with you

Other than the technology, this generation completly sucks.

[Karl775]

life is what you make it, rememer that!! if your generation sucks then its up to you to make the most of it =)

[abstrus]

i like it when young people can share my opinion.

sound intelligence is not music.

[torontoboy45]

@truchebeats1 good call. and a smart one, too. but take some of the advice about listening to some underground - well worth a punt.

cheers,

torontoboy (age 47 1/2).

[TakamineEF340]

@truchebeats1 FUCKIN RIGHT BRO... im a bit older and its a releif that someone your age is loving the music from the past. your job now is to keep it alive with all your friends and educate them about the music youve shown. keep it alive man!

Holler at me on facebook man..... - search the band - SIKLID.

peace!!!!

[LordRumpusaurus]

@truchebeats1

Yeah dude, 90's death/black metal was where it was at, though I can still find some quality material in this day and age (Amorphis, for example). I'm aware you're not talking about metal, and I usually hate classic rock (except everything on this greatest hits album, it's all godly), but at least we can share a hatred for modern atrocities?

[dkmattkey]

@truchebeats1 yes unfortunately there is too much reverence for nostalgia at the expense of creativity.

[MacRaisen]

@truchebeats1 Well, you know, I love the old stuff too. It's where you draw your inspiration from. But you have to accept generations music. You just have to make a difference between good stuff and bad stuff (mostly mainstream, what you hear on radio). I mean, hey, I'm listening too "Walking on the Moon", 5 minutes ago I was listening to Radiohead "Karma Police" and before that Talking Heads "Psycho Killer". But I also could listen to keisha "Tik Tok" or Beyonce "Single Ladies". So, whatever!

[MacRaisen]

[FJCorboMusic]

@truchebeats1 me too and im only 17 im younger than you and my parents grew up listening to classic rock i love bands like led zeppelin and pink floyd not this rap and hip-hop dog shit of today it disgusts me how greedy record companies have become that they just go for "looks" these days to make the most money, and not talent and all they ever sing about is girls money hoes bitches bling etc. like you said

[SChique00]

@FJCorboMusic

Well I'm fourteen and grew up listening to classics like Springsteen and The Beatles, and the epic music of the 80's, and from this I developed my own personal tastes (The Police, of course, playing a major role). I even bought a record player, and my friends think I'm extremely weird, but who are they to judge? They either listen to horrible heavy metal emo bands, or Disney rejects, or supposedly 'trail-blazing' artists. The trails were blazed YEARS ago, I tell them!

[sk8erexpo]

@SChique00 lol im 14 and grew up listening to classics like those too :)

[SChique00]

@truchebeats1

If you'll read my reply to FJCorboMusic below, you'll see that I support your point, but the main thing is that we're all on the right track in terms of musical appreciation. I know it's annoying when adults give out about the so-called 'music' of today, and don't think to ask the intelligent teenagers (i.e. us), but does it really matter what age you are, so long as you can appreciate (which you obviously can) that the 90's and 00's weren't a patch on the 60's - 80's?

[kblopp]

@truchebeats1 I guess there is hope for todays youth afterall

[diztanguy]

@truchebeats1,dam right kid...if you re still a kid...i have all the police album.my number 3 favorite band after the beatles,pink floyd,supertramp being my number 4.

[knockerqk]

@truchebeats1 i feel u me brother...!

[CaptainRockNRoll]

@truchebeats1 Look harder. There is plenty of good music being done today. Of course, you won't hear it unless you look for it.

[death2innocent]

@truchebeats1 then do something , im making a metal band with my mate to bring back the 70s, 80s and 90s and we will be the first non gay metal band of our generation

[justin9211]

@truchebeats1 im in the same boat as you dude but our generations good music is in the underground.

[chagy93204]

@truchebeats1 Everything you said on your comment is totally true....I'm 30 years old I love classic rock and bands like "The Police" that was music...

[TheCrisco68]

@truchebeats1 Yes I agree, today's music is pretty fukin lame, Best things out there are like korn, papa roach, shit like that still rocks, and has some meaning, as far as rap... KISS MY ASS!!!

[pongauer]

@TheCrisco68 korn and meaning? LOLZ they are the same like lady gaga. and rap is just as good as any other genre....but your view on music has been indoctrinated by the big bosses in the world of music just as much as justin bieber or black eyed peas fans have been. wake up and stop bashing genres you dont like just because of what you see on tv....every genre has talent....but you refuse to see those talented individuals just because they dont show them to you.

[TheSpazzarro]

@truchebeats1 Same here dude. I see no creativity anymore and all the good bands that are still around, suck now. It's sad but at least good stuff survives through masterpieces like this.

[indyfan22k]

@truchebeats1

You hit a homerun !!! I was born in 1984. I believe good music died around 1998.

[t8mer]

@indyfan22k Wrong. Go back 8 years.

[Scourgeandmephiles93]

@indyfan22k I believe it lasted until 2000. I still see some songs even now that is majorly inspired by 80s music. they're usually just as good.

I recommend watching the movie "Cop Out". I turned on the TV once and there I had a blast with 80s inspired tunes and jingles all over. I think it's an underrated movie. Not jsut because of the music. I guess the music is there thanks to Bruce Wills being the main character. XD

[JustABitchyCancer]

@Scourgeandmephiles93 oh no...those songs "inspired" by the 80s are never as good. 

[JustABitchyCancer]

@indyfan22k that's about exactly when it died.

[RazrHack]

@indyfan22k OK Computer came out in '97, and that was the last true genius album, so I think you might be spot on.

[dreekd80]

@RazrHack Mutations by Beck can't be overlooked. That was '98.

[zosothedestroyer]

@indyfan22k there's always good music.....its a cycle of bands influencing the next generation, who then make it there own. Music can never die, no idea why youtube is full of people like yourself who want to constantly complain about there being "no good music," or it being dead. Your looking in the wrong places for it homie, like on a police video

[Theclassiccarnut]

@zosothedestroyer you are correct, a good example of this, is the the band Goyte

[zosothedestroyer]

@Theclassiccarnut no idea why its so difficult for people to get haha

[MrBlukron1k]

@zosothedestroyer you cant imitate legends homie, and it is inevitable for people to become degenerated from the lack of culture

[zosothedestroyer]

@MrBlukron1k You can't imitate legends? Eric burdon from the animals tried to imitate old black blues arists from the south, and the animals made amazing music because of it. Led zeppelin did the same thing as well. Yes you can imitate legends, and there is never going to be a lack of culture and there hasn't been a lack of culture yet in the how many thousands of years that modern people have been around? And you think it's going to start with a single generation of music?

[MrBlukron1k]

@zosothedestroyer its hard to find culture nowadays when everyday life consists of taking peoples shit and fitting into a programmed society, Either way some people have horrible taste in Music. Theres never gonna be another aerosmith theres never gonna be another Doors, America, the Eagles, Edgar Winters group, Carlos Santana, Kansas, Jefferson Airplane or any bands like Metallica it just wont happen. Whats the last Band that sounded like Classic Rock

[zosothedestroyer]

@MrBlukron1k haha its called "classic rock" for a reason bud. There's never gonna be another ramones, sex pistols, damned or any original punk band, you wanna know why? Because it was a result of the world in 1979. 2012 isn't 1979, so obviously the music isn't going to be the same. Why do you want bands that all sound the same? And it's funny too that people in the 60's said that about the doors, and Santana, that a lack of culture was bringing down american society

[pongauer]

@truchebeats1 thats not entirely true....thats just mtv and stuff.....try your local bar for some real music. there are plenty of musicians out there who make music with the hearth instead of the head

[hollywoodya1]

By saying "I dont not own the rights", you're actually saying you do.

[iFellout3]

Haha very nice spotting the double negative.

[bbaseballboy1234]

idc, what do i put there? these videos have ads, because a channel on here actually owns the music

[ammar91994]

Rock band dlc next week :)

[Will1Ryan1was1here]

this could own alot of the average modern songs

[XavierB0126]

AWESOME TUNE +1

[jarbydnjksd]

Let them say what they want about The Police and the rest of our classic rock bands that we love, let them listen to what they want that comes out nowadays, if it wasn't for classic rock lovers like us, Glee wouldn't have done their version of Journey's Don't Stop Believing. And I laughed hard at their efforts to try and make a classic song sound like a modern one, they're the kind of people I like to call ripper-offers...

[JamesBonged]

awesome tune

[lifeinahand]

thanks so much for posting up the studio recording!

[misterGummihuhn]

great, one of my favorite-youth-song. long before 'dub'....

[HighlyBrave]

Thanks for posting! UMG/WMG keeps on copy-wrightening this song
