Sting - If You Love Somebody Set Them Free

[TenshihanQuinn]

Everytime Sting sings "If you wanna keep somethin' precious..." I scream out in unison using Buffalo Bill's voice; "PRECIOUS!"

UN PEU RINGARD CETTE VIDEO

Sting is definitely still the man. He is a true musician.

I wish I had the power to randomly switch from being translucent and opaque like Branford Marsalis does.

[Poliakovable]

C'est cloclo avec des lunettes.



[SimonDolan]

Yes WAS first with womens fashions, 25 years ahead of his time.

[MrGolllum]

I've got the moves like...STING!

[mcrhythm2]

What a band. Lock it up! Tight!

[sheshula]

jebo ti fefo mater .

[phade2blaq]

The 3 coolest White dudes in music ever were/are: David Bowie, Robert Palmer and Sting !

[Syllerud]

this song is AWESOME

[JVialpando]

They be throwin' it down on this one!

yeaah this is dope! Sting!

[BaneOfXistence4]

Traditional mid-80's MTV graphics. Classic.

[1carol39]

Love the way they were playing those instruments.

[Paula120906]

This is probably my favorite Sting song of all time.

[inialny]

Kenny Kirkland was there too, on keyboards.... [']

[foxyroxstar]

..en take a moving motion pictures song of our Love to Share!...One Love/U-2...but we're not the same...Greater is he that is in me then he who is in the world blah blah blah!..

[HitchHikersBlues]

@AquaBlue010 ...Cool ; )

[SuperTechnirama]

Darryl Jones on bass, Omar Hakim on drums... Dolette and Janice dancin' and doing back-up... fun and impressive solo debut for Sting... and while I love this song, this album, too, I was never a fan of this video -- at the time -- couldn't understand what they were doing... now nearly 30 years later, it's a dope concept... pre-digital so there are tech issues/artifacts (consider the time though)!

[hevyonez97]

myman sting rocking that black fender strat....that was a great time back in 1985!

[MsBarryman]

Holy shit Vevo very bad LOL

[HitchHikersBlues]

Oh i forgot, FUCK YOU VEVO.

[HitchHikersBlues]

This is a good song !

But Sting is not cool.

The coolest guy in the Police was Stewart Copeland.

He's also a great Drummer ; )

[LtEggSalad86]

"If you love someone, set them free. If they return to you, put several 8 inch blades into their head. If they return again, then RUN... JUST RUN"

[HitchHikersBlues]

@LtEggSalad86 ...lol

[DaveWollenberg]

Gordon Sumner hit #3 in Billboard, 8-3-85. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[hedenamusic]

UAUUUUUUUUUUU

[Terramax]

Great song, bad special effects.

[BricktownBubba]

@Terramax It looked good on the crappy 1980s era televisions back then, not so good on a 1080p display.

[rogerio800mil]

If it's a mirror you want

Just look into my eyes

[1blessedbrotha]

nothin brings the hotness like sexy black girls dancin to this beat!!!

[prinilen]

In my opinion Sting is better alone without the police, he released so many great songs since they separated.......

[SexxxyyDonJuan]

STING HAD ALREADY INVENTED 3D ANAGLYPH VIDEOS AT THAT TIME THUMBS UP !! XD

[mosquito103]

The women are Dolette Mcdonald and Janice Pendarvis. I believe Janice Pendarvis teaches voice at the Berklee School of Music in Boston MA.

[Bella91007]

I love this video!

The women on this video clip own this song in dance! They just groove to the beat to the max! This is my fave Sting song and video! BTW... does anyone know the names of the women in this clip?? Thanks!

[Smigson125]

Is that Darryl Jones on bass?

[breakingthisdown]

Ahhh, this video is sooo bad. Muah ha. =}

[Retrofanatic10]

@breakingthisdown Really ? I like it. It gives it character , unlike videos today where money can buy any effect you want. Sometimes less is more , it's simple , it's crude , it's imperfect , it rocks! Especially the women are dancing , they don't give a shit if they look like graphics from Windows 95 , they're like ``F$% yea! I'm dancing bitches.'' lol.

[breakingthisdown]

@Retrofanatic10 =) Well said. Def gives it character. =P

[BobbySaysDIEE]

Grammar check

[puson164523]

sting doesnt play th bass?? he uses it like a guitar xD .... i suppose he learnt the guitar xD

[DutchEvilEvi]

@puson164523 he plays the bass, and he later learnt to play the guitar (and sax and other instruments)

[danewson]

Fucking commercials

[pothenot01]

@danewson Ya se!!! Criticos rajaré! Pa queee? Pa verte por dentro! A ver, si puedo comprender... que coño es el talento!

[MrThePlug]

@danewson get adblock

[dennyshonda]

This is my fav. version, 

[jayno1cutler]

haha epic, i love this song

[krierp8]

This song kinda sounds more dance pop but still a GREAT Sting song. I like this as well as the Seventh Wave song. He makes excellent music!!!

[DJRoksor]

I guess Sting didn't really like the saxophonist.

[OKandNOWwhat]

@DJRoksor

That's Brandford Marsalis on sax, and it seems that whenever he is playing, he is opaque, but when he stops, he becomes transparent. Cheers

[DutchKalhoun]

Wondering if that was him or not. Thanx!

[bucky468]

If I didn't know better it looks like Sting's playing the 6 string insteaad of his trademark 4 string. Am I hallucinating?

[fedetube]

@bucky468

That's not a bass, but a guitar, so yes, 6 strings..

[brothamandap]

He made this song as a counterpoint to Every Breath You Take.

[therealraybaby]

If u LOVE someone or something, such as a husband, wife, mother, child, pet or even a country. SET THEM FREE!

[DeusExMachina92]

@therealraybaby This song was made in response to Every Breath You Take by The Police, the popularity of the song creeped him out

[raydarammer]

Sting fuckin rules!!!

[TheSnerggly]

wow poor quality streaming... way to go "VEVO"

[TheBlackSheepism]

Theres 1 person that dont love sombody to set free :]

[stefkovskibojan]

Type PRIZE before youtube and hit enter

[kja427]

How did they shoot this video? I'd like to know. Moreover, I agree with the message that Sting is, per lack of a better word, preaching, in this tune. If only the greedy anuses on Wall Street would learn this lesson. They will get theirs, Believeth thou it!

[heartnsoul67]

How can anyone dislike this song or video???

[bunburyz89]

I love this song, and I love sting, I went to a concert on 2007 I listen the police, ( live ) and all my body feels like shacking XD I was so excited aww love them

[PhilWithCoffee]

No one cares who thinks they're first. Everyone already knows Sting is always first.
