Rock memes: the non-singing guitarist leaping into the air as a way of drawing attention to himself. I don't think Jimmy Page ever did this. Pete Townshend pioneered it, Andy Summers took it over, and handed it down to the young Peter Buck. The Edge doesn't do it, basically because The Edge is Summers with the gear but minus the musical knowledge and technique, and so he has to stand fairly still to make people take him seriously.
Stewart Copeland was one of the most brilliant drummers ever to get famous. So many Police songs are so rhythmically weird and interesting, in a way that Sting's solo stuff (however mellifluous and lovely it is) doesn't approach. A lot of the time, Summers carries the actual beat on guitar while Sting and Copeland play bass and drum stuff around him. This is no exception.
We're an independent label trying to make it in this game and the best way to do that is by being more known on youtube.One of the ways we stand out is we help unsigned artists get more fans by uploading their songs for a new fan base

@KillstealingPrick Hipsters have been around for a long time, so have Hessians, which is largely unknown to youth these days who think they're styles are unique lol Hipsters have the roots around since the 1940's. Hip-Hop also originates from the early 20th century slang word for Opium or drugs. Interesting right? I guess history does repeat itself.

@megaton666 ok 666 to be honest you probly know more than me but i do remember reading somwhere that the 1st music vid or one of the 1st offiacialy recognised music vids was by queen, do remember it as the 1st song i ever learnt all the words to, but id have laid money on being 1975, but hay ho things change with time a.
People say music videos didn't start until 1981 with "Video Killed the Radio Star." This is proof it isn't true. 1978 is when videos started, and The Police made some of the best earliest videos -- not over-produced with an elaborate storyline, just pure fun.
@24rusguy : Good and valid point. But I think early Police videos featured a lot more during the music video televising's infancy than did promotional Beatles films, that's the point I was aiming at.
@undisputed4life well, today you can listen to countless great songs on the internet for FREE, something which you wouldnt be able to do 30 years ago when this song was produced.
