Favorite song by The Police

[Bossy Monkey]

Would have sworn I'd done one of these before, but if so it escaped my searching skills.

Anyone saying "Every Breath You Take" will be required to write an essay saying why in order to prove that they are not some kind of creepy psycho stalker. I'm always worried by people who play this at weddings.

1. That Doo Doo song ~

[JimmyJazz]

7. I thought all their songs were pretty much Doo-Doo

:o

24. easy as 1,2,3...

Once that you’ve decided on a killing
First you make a stone of your heart
And if you find that your hands are still willing
Then you can turn a murder into art

There really isn’t any need for bloodshed
You just do it with a little more finesse
If you can slip a tablet into someone’s coffee
Then it avoids an awful lot of mess

It’s murder by numbers, one, two, three
It’s as easy to learn as your abc
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
It’s as easy to learn as your abc

Now if you have a taste for this experience
And you’re flushed with your very first success
Then you must try a twosome or a threesome
And you’ll find your conscience bothers you much less

Because murder is like anything you take to
It’s a habit-forming need for more and more
You can bump off every member of your family
And anybody else you find a bore

Because it’s murder by numbers, one, two, three
It’s as easy to learn as your abc
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
It’s as easy to learn as your abc

Now you can join the ranks of the illustrious
In history’s great dark hall of fame
All our greatest killers were industrious
At least the ones that we all know by name

But you can reach the top of your profession
If you become the leader of the land
For murder is the sport of the elected
And you don’t need to lift a finger of your hand

Because it’s murder by numbers, one, two, three
It’s as easy to learn as your abc
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
It’s as easy to learn as your a, b, c, d, e

[The Great Escape]

Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic

I was in love at the time.
Now it might be the Doo Doo song, since I've fallen out of love.

[wtmusic]

3. "Every Breath" is a complete rip

of the song "More Than I Can Say" by Leo Sayer

[CanuckAmok]

12. listen buddy...

...if we're going to sit here and list bands twho have ripped off Leo Sayer, we'll be here all freakin' night.

[Ladyhawk]

4. Believe it or not, "King of Pain."

It didn't even make the list. :(

[Bossy Monkey]

9. It could happen. I have until 8:10 ET to edit nt

[usedtobesick]

5. Roxanne

[Zuni]

6. So Lonely is a good one

[bicentennial_baby]

8. Don't Stand So Close To Me

'cause I'm hot for my PoliSci prof :P

[sundog]

10. walking on the moon

fo sho

[Metatron]

29. That's my fav, too.

I love the whole album.

[CanuckAmok]

11. "On Any Other Day", from Regatta de Blanc

It's an album-filler (even so far as you can hear Copeland saying "the other ones are complete bullshit...you want something corny? Check this out..." during the intro.

But it's probably one of the most bouncy, hook-ridden tracks they ever did.

[earthboundmisfit]

13. Actually "Spirits in the Material World" is my favorite.

;)

[Pool Hall Ace]

25. Mine too!

Although "Every Breath You Take" has one of my favorite misheard lyrics.

[TheDebbieDee]

14. Voices inside my head.......It's my favorite but I don't know why!

[no name no slogan]

15. "Omegaman" from "Ghost in the Machine"

Wicked Andy Summers guitar solo. Which makes sense, considering he wrote the song!

--------

The night came down, jungle sounds were in my ears
City screams are all I've heard in twenty years
The razor's edge of night it cuts into my sleep
I sit upon the edge now shall I make that leap?

I'm the Omegaman
I'm the Omegaman

The sky's alive with turned on television sets
I walk the streets and seek another vision yet
The echo makes me turn to see that last frontier
The edge of time closes down as I disappear

I'm the Omegaman
I'm the Omegaman
I'm the Omegaman
I'm the Omegaman
Always talking to myself

The time that's best is when surroundings fade away
The presence of another world comes close to me
It's time for me to throw away this paper knife
I'm not alone in reaching for a perfect life

I'm the Omegaman
I'm the Omegaman
I'm the Omegaman
I'm the Omegaman

I'm so tired
Of the Omegaman
I'm so tired
Of the Omegaman
I'm so tired
Of the Omegaman
I'm so tired
Of the Omegaman
I'm so tired
Of the Omegaman...

[Bossy Monkey]

16. Killer earworm too

Now I'll have it in my head for the rest of 2005. No worries; I like it.

[no name no slogan]

18. I think I earwormed myself, too

Now I gotta go find that disk (I'm moving house, so my stuff is everywhere) :P

[Bossy Monkey]

26. Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii'm soooooooooooooo tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiired...

Yep, still going strong after 3 hours.:P

[Bossy Monkey]

17. I couldn't pick from all the great Other suggestions, sorry

so I just added Other. Weak copout, I know. (Apologies to anybody who was going to vote for Murder by Numbers, which it replaced.)

[liberalitch]

19. Bed's too big without you

[solinvictus]

20. "Murder By Numbers"

That one's my favorite.

[Bossy Monkey]

23. It was on the poll until 40 minutes ago. Sorry.

Took it off to put on Other when it didn't get any votes. I like it a lot, too, though.

21. "Be My Girl"

Its the one!

Written by sting & andy summers

Won’t you be my girl
Won’t you be my girl
Won’t you be my, be my, be my girl

Won’t you be my girl
Won’t you be my girl
Won’t you be my, be my, be my girl

Won’t you be my girl
Won’t you be my girl
Won’t you be my, be my, be my girl

Won’t you be my girl
Won’t you be my girl
Won’t you be my, be my, be my girl

I was blue and lonely, I couldn’t sleep a wink
And I could only get unconscious if I’d had to much to drink
There was somehow, something wrong somewhere
And each day seemed grey and dead
The seeds of desperation were growing in my head
I needed inspiration, a brand new start in life
Somewhere to place affection, but I didn’t want a wife
And then by lucky chance I saw in a special magazine
An ad that was unusual, the like I’d never seen
Experience something different with our new imported toy
She’s loving, warm, inflatible and a guarantee of joy.
She came all wrapped in cardboard, all pink and shrivelled down
A breath of air was all she needed to make her lose that frown
I took her to the bedroom and pumped her with some life
And later in a moment that girl became my wife
And so I sit her in the corner and sometimes stroke her hair
And when I’m feeling naughty I blow her up with air
She’s cuddly and she’s bouncy, she’s like a rubber ball
I bounce her in the kitchen and I bounce her in the hall
And now my life is different since sally came my way
I wake up in the morning and have her on a tray
She’s everything they say she was and I wear a permanent grin
And I only have to worry in case my girl wears thin

Won’t you be my girl, won’t you be my girl
Won’t you be my, be my, be my girl
Won’t you be my girl, won’t you be my girl
Won’t you be my, be my, be my girl
Won’t you be my girl, won’t you be my girl
Won’t you be my, be my, be my girl

[Karenina]

22. I agree with you about "Every Breath You Take"

However, "Ghosts in the Machine" was the music my 2nd son was exposed to in utero. I played the disc till it was white. :evilgrin:

[Bossy Monkey]

33. His first words were: "Key-o-oh key-o-oh" nt

[dad]

27. Synchronicity II - Aaaaa -Ooooo- Aaa....da da da DA du

Come on fellas, Roxanne is a horrible song. i cannot believe it is winning!!

[Bossy Monkey]

28. Every Little Thing is running away with it-- but I agree with you

However, I almost never vote in my own polls, for reasons that are completely beyond me. Might have to make an exception this time, though.

[General Zod]

31. "We have to shout above the din of our Rice Krispies"

Best. Line. Ever.

[AAARRRGGGHHH]

30. This is such an easy question

1) Walking on the Moon
2) Message in a Bottle
3) Don't stand so close to me

In that order. It's that easy.

(the pomposity is meant in jest)

[Missy Vixen]

32. Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic

Even now, after hearing it probably 500 times over the past fifteen years or so, I still want to dance when it comes on the radio.

[Eyeball Kid]

34. Other

"Can't Stand Losing You"

Yes, it's about romantic obsession and suicide. STOP JUDGING ME!

[In_The_Wind]

35. I always liked the thought of being the teacher's pet

Young teacher the subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be
Inside her there's longing
This girl's an open page
Book marking - she's so close now
This girl is half his age

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Her friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes it's not so easy
To be the teacher's pet
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, she's waiting
His car is warm and dry

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Loose talk in the classroom
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staff room
The accusations fly
It's no use, he sees her
He starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in
That book by Nabakov

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
