African Girl First Time Reaction To The Police - Walking On The Moon

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

My favorite band of ALL TIME!! Stewart Copeland is the most SKILLED drummer ever. His backstory is really interesting. ❤

[@mowgli2071]

I had the privilege to be 8 years old when this came out. So I got to experience this as a child. But it wasn't on the radio. Our neighbors had the album. The good news is we were able to borrow the album often

Great song. The Police's early stuff had such a fun kind of reggae-influenced vibe.

[@africareact]

Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed it

[@Eddie-ol9cv]

Have a fantastic weekend my beautiful friend ❤

[@trappenweisseguy27]

This was on the first album I ever bought back in the day and was instrumental in me later playing bass. The whole album, “Regatta de Blanc”, is great.

The Police were, and is, and always be a force to the world 🌍🌏🌏🌎👆✌️🎶

[@saintsataniko2116]

Yes Faye, I will never ever understand why The Police did so many videos on location but almost always Sting has his bass, Andy has his guitar, and Stewart Copeland (one of the greatest drummers in history) can't even have a little snare drum to bang on. He's always tapping a chair, or air drumming, or in this case playing a beat on the space shuttle, which admittedly is a great prop.

[@erolbulut2584]

Because it was always Stewart's band, and he was the conductor.

The Police are one of my favorite groups as a musician and a human😁Guitarist Andy Summers Bassist Sting Drummer Stewart Copeland, if you have Tubi, a free stream for movies, watch The Police Can't Stand Losing You by Andy Summers

[@lancewolf2451]

Bravo!

[@miked2445]

This, Bring On the Night, Beds too Big Without You and So lonely are all my favorites. Great reaction!

[@robertjewell9727]

Love your interpretation. This was the song that first really got me into The Police. It always gave me a feeling of the space between what grounds us and what makes us want to discover things beyond ourselves even when walking to a girlfriend's house and seeing the moon in the night sky where even the instrumentation reflects with a very earthy bass along side an echoing guitar making rocketing sounds and the drums sounding like uncertain footsteps trying to find a path. So brilliant. ❤🤚💕

"Walking back from your house \ Walking on the moon ..." -- "Walking On The Moon" was a big part of the soundtrack when I was in high school, even though the song was already several years old at that point. Many people consider the album it's from, Reggatta de Blanc, to be their best. Check out "Bring On the Night" for another taste.

[@Texturas75]

The title track is also fantastic!! As well as the killer Bed's too big without you. And you gotta check out Gustavo Cerati (RIP) and Andy Summers' version of Bring on the night from the "Outlandos D'America" tribute album!

[@rasmichael]

I was thoroughly baked the first time I heard this song. Summers' chords pierced my brain. Glorious.

[@AndreBlige-vb3ur]

You gotta check out Driven to Tears, Man in a Suitcase, Invisible Sun, Ms Gradenko & Canary in a Coalmine by The Police when u get the chance

Greatest band in the 80’s hands down! If The Police could have put their egos aside, they would have created so much more great music, instead of just leaving us with only 5 albums. With all 3 members still alive, it’s a wonder what they could of done musically, So sad! They could be on the top of Music Mount Rushmore, with The Stones, The Who, And Zeppelin!

[@mostly_insane2291]

Ah…. The 80’s ❤ My teen years

[@AgnesNicolPorteousOneill]

Good song.

[@lancewolf2451]

Each of those five F1 Rockectdyne main engines Copeland is drumming on burned 3 tons of kerosene/liquid oxygen fuel per second...

[@jarrodbinthenc6810]

Kuna wazungu wanacheza muziki nzuri sana😅

[@dorvau1991]

Would you react to Put Me In Your Mix by Barry White?

[@alexfletcher5192]

In some respects The Police were a fake band. None of its members (with the possible exception of its drummer) came from any reggae or groove background. Guitarist Andy Summers was part of a previous jazz-fusion scene and that was also a reference for lead writer Sting. It was, in effect, their appropriation of post-punk music (which, in England, included reggae and a rocksteady offshoot called Ska) that contributed to their success. Although they grew beyond it in the 1980s. This was, despite all that, a number one hit in the UK in 1979 and I remember grooving to it as a child.
