Lyrics:
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 staffroom
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 Nabokov
Don't stand so close to me
Please don't stand so close to me

Stewart Copeland’s drumming just stands out so much in this song. I honestly don’t think they would’ve been as good as they were without him. One of my top five drummers.
Question: who are your other 4 favorite drummers, and to what group do they belong? I played this over and over listening to the drums 1st then the other instruments. Man, where did the time go?
YES!!! All my favs on this album are about the drums.
Absolutely. Rock solid, innovative.
@@rickeyb8812 First and foremost I’d have to mention Tim “Herb” Alexander, the drummer for Primus. I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but we’re talking about very specialized musicians that would rather play Jazz but Jazz doesn’t pay the bills. I know Primus albums are like adolescence but the playing is phenomenal!
Other drummers… I hate to be that guy but I absolutely love Keith Moon. I’m not a drummer but if I was….
Who else, I love what Mitch Mitchell brought to the table with Jimi.
I know there are more technical players, just naming what I like.
As a matter of fact, Stewart Copeland played in a band with Lee Claypool. Oysterhead!!!
Anthem of 2020.
Listen to the lyrics! This song could not be recorded today...
The song is actually about something VERY different from COVID, yet it still fits.
haha yes
Vinyl Eyezz, great song. Best listen to on vinyl.
Yes!!!!!!........ 😷
The answer to Every Breath Your Take
BOTH ARE AMAZING SONGS
Clever comment, eh.
Every Breath You Take is even worse.
Mysterious especially if lm high oh well 🍾🧡🖤❤️🤎🤍💙💜💖👠🍀🍒💌❤️🔥❣️
Dee doo do do Dee dah da da!😂
Sting had been employed as a school teacher and this song is about that time. You know Stuart loved throwing those paperballs at Sting
Sting has on numerous occasions stated that this song has no basis in fact. It was purely fictional writing on Sting's part.
@@RiversEagle_ yeah, him not acting out on this, but he was employed as a teacher at a girl's school - he stated this
@@MadMetsFan It was a mixed school, boys and girls. The main inspiration for the song was the novel Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. Sting mentions it in the lyric.
@@thewomble1509 Ha. Yeah, right...
@@thewomble1509this is correct
My uncle Nigel Gray, who passed in 2016, produced and won a Grammy for this absolute masterpiece, couldn't be a prouder nephew
?
Oh, My condolences.
Jesus i'm Proud of you in relation about these song and my condolences for him.
No shit??? Sorry to hear that but I hope you're for real
Are you serious?😭😭😭😭🤘🤘🤘🤘
I love how to the Police music videos where nothing more than them moving around randomly and semi-playing their instruments
JoroJojoro The better to let those lyrics sink in.
I agree
And let Sting sink in. Woof!
JoroJojoro They should have fired the choreographer, if that's how u spell it, anyway !!!
No, a chore-ographer is a person who coordinates chores.
I'm shocked that there hasn't been a comedy skit or a gag where someone finds out about a teacher-student relationship, and shouts "CALL THE POLICE!", prompting *The Police* to show up and sing this song.
Enjoy the freaking song bud
@@FendiGarcon1 I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t!
Enjoy life man it's a freaking joke.
in glee that kinda does happen! lol
Not only that! Sting was a teacher before he was in the band
That book by nabikov,what a great line
I thought the same thing. Like, huh that was pretty clever.
"Lolita" by Nabakov
its Nabukov
lol three variations of his name in this comment thread, and not one is correct.
@@cooleslaw then which is correct?
You got to hand it to the Police. They really brought on the next decade. Such unique sound and sensibilities, such great songwriting and aesthetic. Not just Sting and Stewart, gotta give credit to Andy Summers and his way of sort of washing sound over the track. Nobody sounded like them, before or since.
Great songwriting...? This song is describing statutory rape
@@tanner5706 I’m guessing you’re no fan of Nabokov then.
What a great song, I love it! I put it into my "Shellshocked Radio - Recommendations" List: th-cam.com/video/wU9MWDKTjfg/w-d-xo.html Very well done!
I absolutely dig Summers guitar sound.
I see and ideal guitar sound as a combo of his and Antymos Apostolis (Polish band SBB on their 70's stuff, especially the Welcome and Follow My Dream albums.
Everything about Police music and sound was and still is unique.
I agree. The Police had their own unique sound. I loved Sting, he was the best frontman the band could have had, but at the end of the day, the were great as a whole.
Always loved the Reggae infused beats in their music. Hooked me since I was a kid. :)
You can tell by videos they were making music for themselves to listen to.
It’s Ska your so uncultured 🤦♂️
@@swaythegod5812 Are you trying to be a wise ass? WTF do you know about my culture?? No joke. I have more culture than you could ever hope to dream of,clown.
@@carlosmacmartin4205 joke ...joke... fun...remember that!!
👀
Sting: Worried about student coming on to him.
Also Sting: Takes off shirt in classroom.
I WAS READING THIS AS HE TOOK HIS SHIRT OFF HAHA SO WEIRD
@@loveiskind23izamar Perfect timing. Nice!
The nerve of him
@@ThePercussionRealm Ha oh Brother
@Andy Barrett I am a lover since I was 3 years old so how are you going to deal with it. Who can be a bigger hypocrite than certain Men. There are Men that have had harems your upset because I am a female full of romance which is almost a thing of the past.
I dont think people realize how unique The Police were for their time and how many bands they inspired. Stings vocals and bass lines were incredible, the production was masterful. I consider them one of the greatest 3 pieces, and to top that one of the greatest bands ever.
i agree ... their impact on music industry was HUGE !!
This is the Best music I've ever had in my life 💗 so easy going and My Dad 92 can Dance with you too love The comments section & The Gentleman Police Band2024 & walking around the Moon when lm high💙🤍🤎❤️🖤🧡💜💖
Seeing how the police are critically acclaimed and still have a massive fan base id say that plenty of people realize those things about the band.
Stewart’s dance moves are the best part of every Police music video
In this video, Stewart Copeland kind of reminds me of 'Kurgan' from the movie Highlander (actor Clancy Brown). I mean that in a good way. Stewart is a beast and that movie is a classic. ;o)
They always seemed to have been having a great time filming their videos.
p
@@danielhogan7749best movie of all time
For a drummer he has no rhythm in his dance moves.
I want my MTV...
Summoning Salt YES ME TO :-D M.K & STING
Well, I want my SUV.
Summoning Salt I want your MTV too
Sting did write that song too :D
Dire Straits/
Imagine Sting as your teacher... daaamn
Ohh yess 😏
😂
delicious
He is 64.....
Omg 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😏
That intro...sends shivers of vivid emotions & uncertainty.
Absolutely brilliant
This needs to be played everywhere as a Corona precaution.
Could become song of the year.....LoL...
Literally i see a meme of a playlist and came to watch the videoclip
it was heard in a supermarket in the Netherlands by a friend of mine :D
yes
Exactly!
The Cure: Close to me
The Police: We don't do that here.
😂😂😂😂
Ellie Goulding: Close To Me
The Police: *_NO_*
De doo doo doo
Well i guess true loves kiss won't happen😁
Laugh. Out. LOUD!! 💪😆
Professor Indiana Jones had the same problem too in his classes. That's why he took off half the semester and went on adventures all the time.
I always wondered who taught his classes when he just decided to take off?
@@bigtechisbigbrother8690 It was Milo Thatch from the Disney Atlantis movies lmao
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@mrsfahrenheit they had a deal, "you get this half and i get the other half"
So, basically if a woman’s husband dies, and she marries his brothers who also dies, leaving her a widow ultimately, she’s still the wife of her original husband. K, got it😂
these guy were all virtuoso quality. Such amazing music.
my mom would always listen to this when i was younger, and now i understand the lyrics and im like wow ok
+rachel wrenn The song is made even more strange when you learn that Sting, the lead singer, was actually a teacher before he became a musician.
crazy huh!? glad he kept with his singing..
Nice playlists.
Totally understand you!
rachel wrenn 36 years...I actually remember this song 36 years ago
1:54
Did anyone else notice that Stewart throws a paper ball at Sting? Funniest thing I’ve seen all day
We all noticed 😆
He’s a superb drummer
@@dralbertsmeinheimer5738 oh I know. He’s my second favorite drummer
@@TinyBlurryMan and ur favourite is?
@@ScopeyMopey Who else but John Bonham?
This song is making more sense every day.
Of course!
Greatest band!♥
Ha
Great song
Being alone ya get crazy when people come near ya feel the song all the time the beat guitar and bass roll hard
This song should be a comeback hit
A song that still stands out today over time. Timeless classic
Now i'm older i know what this song is about.
close your ears young lady.. haha jk
Sophia M.B haha, know how you feel :D
do you also understand Roxanne? XD
Sophia M.B It be like that sometimes when you work with younger girls. Really annoying and frustrating.
It's about proper elevator etiquette I think
I hope TH-cam never goes away. Without it I'll never see these videos again.
I miss MTV when it showed music
True that. All TV channels only want to show the latest thing.
Oh snap you're right
No you'll have TH-cam music.
I agree completely! I love hearing these older songs and seeing the videos on TH-cam. So called music television rarely shows them any more. :(
I have a buddy who stopped teaching for this exact reason. He was 26 and just hung up his football cleats. the girls were 17 and telling him how hot he was.. he shared with me some of the comments and he decided "I can't do this everyday and im not going to ruin my life" So he quit! I laughed back then but I get it now. Smart move.
@@clashdivision7796 ?
Clash Division It’s actually very normal and natural. Pretty sure any normal person has had, still has crushes on people significantly older than them.
@@emmerencecarter4484 I'm looking at you Ms.Gibbs, science was my favorite subject
@@clashdivision7796 I’m not being funny but the age difference there isn’t even that bad. But still I don’t think students should say shit like that to teachers
@@clashdivision7796 Are you retarded? All people (men and women) fantasize about dates that are at OPTIMUM sexual reproductive age. That means men of all ages will always fantasize about women who are in their early 20's, no matter what the age of the boy/man is. It doesn't matter if you're a 16 year old boy or a 40 year old man, you will fantasize about 20-25 year old women. Period. That's scientifically proven. The end.
This never gets Old. Thankyou England 🏴👌
This song always reminds me of that episode of Friends where Joey advertises for VD
Me too. :D
Just watched it today
Had to watch that episode after you wrote this lol x
Exactly why I came here haha.
Why I'm here lol
It's a timeless classic.
Your part of the problem
@@dougiemccullough4250 what?
The drummer was a soldier, even when his drums aren't there he is still drumming! They all look like they had such a good time !
Cocaine is a helluva drug.
@@beetee2089 he's still talented
He still is. One of the best drummers of all times, number 10 on the list of the rolling stone.
You wouldn't get away with making a song with those lyrics today
But singing about your ‘WAP’ and your guy’s ‘Anaconda’ is fine.
😂😂 yeah it's kind of sad
I still like to think you might…
I can’t understand most lyrics so I have no idea what they are singing other than “Don’t stand so close to me”
@MaeRose26no it’s not lol
Fun fact: before Sting was in the Police, he was a school teacher
@@Schnoz42069 Nope, he met her while he was already successful and she was also producer.
He taught English and this song was inspired by “Lolita.” He references it “...in that book by Navokob.”
So was Bryan Ferry
So was Liam Neeson.
@@pooredonna No way 😂😂
This song has such a weird contrast in verse/chorus
Not really. Same driving rhythm in both.
The verses are in a minor key and the chorus is in a major key. Thats probably what you are hearing
Ah, yes. Remember the good old times of going to school when teacher would sit at his desk and casually remove his shirt?
Those were the days...
Because it had Hebrews on it?🤔
what's going on in these replies...
@@lordofkak 🤣 I know...
Who did that? No one. Oh I get it
Just at my Catholic school🤣
Lyrics that could never be written today.
i wonder why sherlock
@@The_GreenHub Of course you completely miss the point brainiac
maybe in published music, but indie music has had a huge resurgence recently with the advent of the internet. most indie musicians today are considerably more comfortable with writing risqué lyrics than they were in the 80s as they don't have labels breathing down their necks.
obviously it's a different story when you get to more mainstream pop music with publishers like universal, but it's definitely not like artists weren't forced to completely rewrite songs when they didn't fit whatever restrictive old beliefs their publishers had
@@muff9160 I agree with pushing boundaries in writing, however indie or not Lolita type lyrics do not go over well in today's world. It doesn't matter whether it is the adult or younger person trying to do the initiating or the age of consent. Take the song Young Girl release in 1968. I have seen articles in recent years saying the man in this song is a creep even though he pushed the girl away when he discovered her age and before anything happened.
I love The Police and really like this song. To your point, they are not indie and this song as great as it is would not be released today just like Hot for Teacher also would not. Remember Sting was a teacher and there has been a lot of speculation whether this song is about a real experience. If we are being honest a lot of us had crushes on our teachers. This song is sticky because unlike Young Girl, the adult in this song is tempted by the attention, hence the title of the song is repeated over and over. It is also very ambiguous as to whether anything happened.
Edit: I was wrong, it is not ambiguous at all. Reading the lyrics can be a different interpretation from Sting himself using the R-word about what happened in the car. I am deep in the rabbit hole on this one. 😄
If Sting was my teacher, I'd never miss class
@Linda Muniz 0.0
@Rodzilla 🙄
He was a teacher
😍 yes
He WAS ! He was an English teacher. aka Gordon Summers.
k but, imagine having Sting as a teacher and then a few years later you see this. oof
imagine being the girl who wanted to fuck your teacher sting, and then this some comes out
Wouaooo !
He was a teacher?
Idk. If that's cool or creepy now
@@David-mv3zl yes
sting?
Sting could be my teacher any day of the week. So gorgeous
What a beautiful song to listen to while riding/driving in a car at night. The soothing base solos make it such a great song for this.
Considering the lyrics...
Maybe that's why they used to always play it on the radio
I love how 80s and older songs have such deep messages that really make you think about a lot of things..
what, and no songs since?
Of course! ♥★
@@philipwilliams5808
Message in a bottle: being shipwrecked
Don't stand so close to me: Lolita
Do Do Do Do: language structure, & how words are treated with importance & flippancy.
Spirits in the material world: state corruption
Every breath you take: stalking
I can't stand losing you: Suicide
So lonely: loneliness
Every little thing she does is magic: shyness in love
Walking on the moon: walking home being drunk & in love
They covered a range of topics. They used a range of instruments & changes within each of these songs.
Bands today use as few instruments as possible, and sing of either being wasted, rejecting love or having a mental health problem 😒 nobody even listens to the radio anymore because of how tiresome these tracks are
@@fingerscrossed2453 Roxanne: prostitution
@@ajaccio6268
king of pain: awkward (sometimes impossible) positions.
I love how in each trio shot of each video sting and the other guitarist are just standing there singing, but the drummer goin CRAAAAAAAZZZY
Emi Sharples yep, that's Stuart for you! In every music video he's jumping around like a wild man. The other two can be pretty bouncy as well.
That's cause he's the crazy American. 😉😄
that chorus part is addicting
0:58
jerrr Tell me about it dude it's a drug !
With only 5 LPs they wrote history. A criminally underrated mythic group.
No not under rated by a long way, the ego's got too big to contain and by the end as Sting has stated they were recording their respective parts at differing times and sometimes differing studio's to prevent friction.
How are they underrated when they are highly acclaimed, have sold hundreds of millions, and are loved all around the world?
guys stop. this is clearly a zoomer who thinks they stumbled across a gem of a band and are quirky for listening to old music
Criminaly unconvicted. This song is fucking sick
@@dougiemccullough4250, what does criminally unconvicted mean?
the coolest dorky band ever; in all their videos the drummer just jumps around like a mad man, sting tries to keep a str8 face while showing off his arms, and the bassist is the serious one providing balance. All the videos cost about 4$ to make as well, clever
cory silva Sting was lead vocals and bass. Andy Summers was the guitar and Stewart Copeland was the drummer.
@@raylampert1243 thx man
And today's videos are worth $0 cause they all suck.
This video is pretty much the antithesis of Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart”, in every way possible except theme.
Sting is the bassist, cory silva!
there is something so attractive about sting and still today he is so fit
Libra man
the other title for this is " I want you too but if I do anything I'll lose my job and go to jail"
Actually, it's "If our ages or genders were swapped, it'd be okay."
hahahaha
@@CocoaNutCakery um no, women teacher go to jail, ALL the time
Yep
@@anamarvelo Yet, you do not hear about boys moaning about being exploited.
やっぱPOLICE好きだぁー‼️
When Sting takes off his shirt and looks at the camera he knows EXACTLY what he is doing.
3:21 that mischievous grin is 🔥 🔥 🔥
He was like: I think thats too much hahaha

LOL!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😏😏😏😏😏
@@bourbon_sketcher . Guilty as charged! 😜🤤
i miss music like the CARS and the POLICE, nothing sounds like this now
the POLICE CARS do...
The Police at their best.
I agree .. think Andy Summers wrote Mother.
I agree.
It's Money for nothing!!!
In my opinion, the best Police song by miles. Sting was at his best here.
Agreed! To me this is the definitive Police song! The chorus is otherworldly!
My favourite is “Walking on the moon” because you really think they are doing it.
That mischievous smile when he takes off the jacket and shirt :-) - Hard to believe Sting was ever so playful and carefree.
Yeah, now it's all about yoga and tantric sex
He has A.D. D. He is chill.
Corona warning: "Don't Stand So Close To Me!"
The Police - 40 years ahead of time... ;-)
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
th-cam.com/video/-yGXOtJCrnw/w-d-xo.html
Eurobeat song "Don't Stand So Close" by Dr. Love
Fourty FIVE years ahead of time. : D
Hahahahaha
must be the same writers for the Simpsons ... LOL
Except its not social distancing to avoid disease its "hey little girl who is my student, don't stand so close to me because I'm a pedophile and want to touch you" I hate that this is the brain capacity people are operating on. ONE LINE!
Oh the spirit and simplicity of a three man band
I was in high school when The Police released Don't Stand So Close To Me and I liked it then as it was a big hit for them and it got a lot of airplay on the radio but now it's even better. If you got to grow up in the 50's through the 90's with all the golden classic movies & music, YOU were blessed.
It's ironic because the song is made by the police
Should be mandatory part of police training to study this shit
Lol ✌️
Exactly!! Haha
Make sure not to stand too close to the police
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
can't believe sting was a teacher
I can't imagine having a teacher that hot.
+winogirlll yeah it would be problems if i was his student 😂😂
+tomorr ow fucked up if true
+tomorr ow Bothers me less than Ron Jeremy being a special ed teacher.... Just saying. Course that kinda says alot about teachers pay scales....
Ron Jeremy was probably a great teacher. Being a porn star doesn't mean he couldn't have been a great teacher.
Sting with that kind of glasses looks like Megamind when he becomes into a human disguise.
Bernaaaard!
Best comment.
OMFG I KNEW HE LOOKED FAMILIAR😂😂😂😂
Oh shit lmfao high as shit 😂😂😂😂
Yes.
The musicality & overall production on this track top notch. I miss the 80s & 90s so so much. Good Times!
Mr Sumner, I need help with my homework after school
I like that Stewart throws things at Sting’s head.
It's ironic how I listened to this song years ago when I was in middle school and had a crush on my teacher, and I'm still listening to it because I still like men way older.... some things never change
Edit: Actually dating a middle school teacher now, as an adult 😂
Edit: we broke up 😢
If we're going biologically... scientifically women mature faster than boys, that's why most women prefure older men who have already matured rather than the little boys they end up babysitting.
want my number?? lol
Only Anonymous
same here... I LOVE older guys and I can’t control myself when I see a hot one... I’ve always been like that, I’m 18 and I only feel attracted by men in their 30s or 40s
Blaise 2067 Lol its more like daddy issues
@Blaise 2067 Bullshit. There's never been more than a couple of girls in any of my groups (Highschool and Uni) who fancied older men, maybe 10% of the total. As for myself I always ever since teenage liked guys a couple of years older and at 40 something I prefer men by a fair margin younger and I wasn't the only one. Yes there are women who like older men. But "natural"? Nope, it's not the standard and the only reason women mated with older men for eons was because they were married before they had a choice by the parents decisions.
Who else came in June 2024 to listen this masterpiece
Yep. Stuart Copelands drums always elevate a song that shouldn’t be quite as good as it ends up being.
Do you have anything actually worthwhile to say?
July now
July 9, 2024
Me. July 16
Sting looks so handsome with his jaunty tie and little round glasses. If he were my teacher............damn.
Fun fact: sting was a teacher for about 2 years 😅
Twilight Olga if sting was my teacher I'd die
Camila Pérez me too. He is amazing!
No way! Umm, that was common knowledge 30 years ago . . .
as if the lyrics could get any worse
I hope he wasn't trying to get with a little girl
This song should be always be playing at the following locations:
- Supermarket.
- Subway.
- DMV office.
- Voting precinct.
ATM
😂😂😂
Steel Here it does play at the grocery store 😂
Public bathroom
Subway, when Jared Fogle was spokesman :P
With each decade that passes their tunes get fresher and fresher! I will never ever grow tired of their singles.
Hi I recommend a Song called 'the bond villain' By Robert Nix
This song goes out to Justin Trudeau!
I haven't finished my degree to be a teacher yet. In a few years I will no longer be able to listen to this song, so let me enjoy it now.
You could enjoy a few ...other things too. ( I'm an LPN and 21 btw)
Seriously, be very careful of girls trying it on with you !
As a young student I saw what a mess a young male teacher could get into by effectively being preyed on by a pupil !!!
I trained as a teacher ( but never wanted to be one ! ) after being an ecologist and then training as an educational psychologist but eventually ending up as a Senior Tax Inspector !! Don’t ask !
But I had a friend from the PGCE course at Southampton Uni who was training to teach secondary French and apparently the boys at the Grammar school in Winchester where he did his teaching practise called him ? and eventually when he walked down the corridor would just shout ‘ Woof woof ‘ !!!
And on his first day on teaching practise when he asked for their names wrote things like S. Hit etc !!!
This brings back memories of when I was entering college in 1980, the year the song came out. It became one of the signature dance numbers at frat parties all across campus. Its creatively tight harmonies perfectly evoke the edginess the title expresses-which also expressed my feelings about girls at the time, much to my chagrin. Thanks for posting!
sure, daddy.
alright
Pissed Bob Ross your comment made me laugh
flanders 😆
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU??????????????
Farting girls.....
Back when songs were all about talent: It's in their lyrics, their singing, the thinking behind the story, the lot.
Yea bro, i'm from Brazil and we just hear shit.
You must have some classic favourites though, surely? :-)
+ReelSerious In Brazil all the teens/young just listen funk, one piece of shit that just talk about sex, drugs and this kind of stuff (and do this with a terrible songs, omg, my ear cry). We dont produce good songs anymore...just the olds keep doing the good work, like: Ultraje a Rigor and Roupa Nova. Our rock is dying very quickly.
Felipe Amorim I understand. We haven't had anything but pop over here for a long time. I don't listen to anything new any more either, just old stuff. Queen, U2, Annie Lennox, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, George Michael, The Police, Bjork, etc. ^_^
This has ALWAYS been my favourite Police tune, it's so awesome.
So Sting used to be a teacher until The Police arrived.
Pun intended.
Well he was harmful ;)
Hey that was pretty phunny
Ana, he was yes.
Very good 😁
@Alexander The Great Who cares it's all in fun
They'd burn you at the stake if you wrote a song like this today
That's not my judgement of it. I love it. I'm talking about the current climate of hysteria. If you wrote this today you'd get call all sorts.
You're telling me...
nomdefaitour
That's crazy!
Will forever make me think of Joey Tribbiani from Friends.
What season
@@samsmith5640 season 1 episode 9
Mario, right?
@Paddy Orourke that show was the best of its generation!!! You sicken me!
Ahhh, S.T.D'S😂😂😂
Never be another band like the Police ❤️
a female student has a crush on a teacher, and the teacher knows. That's what I got from this song....
There's also the guy raping her in the car but that's just a minor detail isn't it?
well, and he is tempted by it, but it does not imply that something happend between them so yes it is uncomfortable but not reprobate cause what we feel is not our choice
@@kazzymiller wtf? who's raping? you mean the lyrics -
Wet bus stop, she's waiting
His car is warm and dry
where do you see rape there?
plus
1. nowhere does it say the girl got into the car
2. we're not even sure that these lines were taken from his thoughts - they could have been taken from the girl's - she's planning what to say - "oh mr. Sumner - can I please take a ride with you? your car is warm and dry..."
Jajaja 😔
Wow! Aren't you a prodigy!
Did you also get the part about the teacher having feelings for the student too and yet knowing that it's inappropriate? Hence the song title.
You know what's so ironic. Sting plays a Teacher and before he became a Full Time Musician, he was a Teacher.
laminage I think the link may be deliberate.
Neil Cain Yeah but so Many Rock Stars were once Teachers. Chrissie Hyde of The Pretenders as well as The Lead Singer of The Thompson Twins.
Um, that's not irony
Maybe it's more Life Imitating Art.
laminage Yes, this song was based on an incident he had when he was a schoolteacher and one of his students was...getting a bit too close... ;)
"I want my,
I want my,
I want my MTV."
Perhaps this was the inspiration? 🤔
So much that Sting ended up with credits on Money for Nothing and he didn't wrote any lyrics :)
Looks like Sting got his money for nothing and his chicks for free.
Sting also sang the I want my MTV part live once
Also in the studio version
One of the best bands from 78 -85.
Andy's face when he realizes Sting has taken his shirt off. 😆

One second you're watching every step I take now you're telling me to not stand so close to you? Make up your damn mind!
it´s 2020 and this goes straight to my pandemic soundtrack playlist.
What other songs does that COVID-19 playlist consist of? 😁
Don’t Dream it’s Over - Crowded House. Infected - The The
@@classylassie85 Murder by numbers
This song is about a pedophile school teacher boinking one of his students.
@@sagejones2574 they only listen to the words "Dont stand so close to me" the rest of the song just doesn't exist to them
I relate to this so hard
“He sees her he starts to shake and cough” it’s almost as if he knew...

Ha ha ha. You win!
Seeing those young fresh faces makes me feel so old! I remember this like it was yesterday. I was 12 years old when this album came out. Blows my mind.
Same here!
The music video's of the 80s definitely captured the artist at their height and with their youth. They are forever immortalized because of the videos. They could all age and die, but they'll always be youthful to us
Stuart Copeland is one of my favorite drummers! Outstanding off time and tempo!
jaywar69 He is exceptional at drumming.
Love The Song! Had VIP TICKETS To Their Final Show...But Don't Be Delusional On The Lyrics My Friends! Enjoy In 2024 😉
My dad loved this song and always sang it to my mom. When he died back in 2016, I kept listening to it over and over, remembering his voice. I love you, Sting!
Damn...Sting was hot as f*ck back then.
chpoof Yes he was edible ..Those lips Omg ! Lol
chpoof He was (is) the hottest. I was totally jacked for him due to this very video. The power of new hormones.
I'm not gay but I would say Copeland was probably the best looking
He still is extremely good looking.
Michael Rose
Too skinny !
Sting is athletic i think.
I like the way Stuart always seems to fool around in most of their videos
According to Sting he always was
This is my favorite song of all time. Other favorites have come and gone, but this song has been in my soul for about 40 years.
This song has really gained another meaning now.
Not really
And the worst part is that the new meaning is probably a more innocent one too lol.
Who's the biggest criminal here?
1) Sting, for lusting after young girls
2) Stewart Copeland, for smoking
3) Andy Summers, for that fake guitar solo
Andy, without a doubt. Faking a guitar solo is worthy of the death penalty in some countries.
It's actually about how the girl likes the teacher ?
Well actually he was doing a guitar solo. In the song he played chords plugged into a synth effect pedal, so he actually was playing those synth noises. Look it up.
Andy was actually playing his guitar through a synthesizer (A Roland guitar synthesizer at the time) And he'd tune it to 5th's and play 'strange chords' as he once said in a documentary.
It's funny, yet we all know sting didn't actually like young ones..
Stewart Copeland, I love you!
I would go gay for I mean.. whaa?
@@TonyDeanDrums 😂😂😂
What a phenomenal group of musicians
Imagine being a teenage girl and having 25 year old Sting for your teacher!
idk if i could handle it
@Eric Rivera er yeah right,bet you did lying hound.
The classic crush of any teenager in the world: her young teacher, but 100 times better 😊
In The UK alot of folks become Teachers because it's very easy and quick to get a Teaching Certificate. However the UK Kids are sometimes as bad as their US Counterparts. No disrespect but the Kids on Riverdale are Angels next to The Kids on Waterloo Road, and Ackley Bridge. Gene Simmons of Kiss was once a Teacher as well as Chrissie Hynde The Pretenders as well as Tom Bailey The Thompson Twins.
@@imogenimeson664 - I used to book cinema tickets for him. Sincere regards, Pinocchio.
Crap. When he takes his shirt off. Bloody hell 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🥰😍
He looks magnificent, and I also love the teasing grin he gives the camera--like yeah, I know what you wanna see...
It's ironic that he's a teacher in that track, and, he truthfully used to be a teacher
Hello! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe
This song is written on his time doing teaching practice with high school students, he was in his early 20s and apparently had many 16 year old girls interested in him, he talked about how he had to restrain himself in those situations
80s music is forever iconic
