Who does this sound like?

I've heard this a couple of times on students' phones at school and wondered why they were listening to an 80s band until one of them mentioned who it was

I sound very much like 'The Police' factor.

[ChuckFickens]

Sounds like the police at the beginning.

[ChuckFickens]

Do you, tilly? :)

[yogi-bear]

Agree....If you play Roxanne by the Police, at slightly faster bpm's ...they mix pretty well. :0)

[Tilly2]

Well spotted, chuck!

It sounds like the Police all the way through, I think.

[ChuckFickens]

It's kinda a cross between Roxanne and message in a bottle in places.

[Tilly2]

The drumming's not as good as Stuart's though.

[yogi-bear]

Even "Dont Stand So Close To Me" works. :0)

[yogi-bear]

and Message in a Bottle lol

[factor-fiction]

Yes, I normally surprise students by knowing almost any piece of music but I slipped up on this and I thought it was Sting or maybe a remix/sample of an old Police song.
I was also caught out by an Olly Murs song recently which I thought was Maroon 5.
I'm losing my touch.

[ChuckFickens]

You'd have to slow it down a fair bit to mix with don't stand so close to me :)

[yogi-bear]

I can slow anything down, chuckers lol...but yes, you are quite right :0)
