    Lyrics:
    Giant steps are what you take
    Walking on the moon
    I hope my legs don't break
    Walking on the moon
    We could walk forever
    Walking on the moon
    We could live together
    Walking on, walking on the moon
    Walking back from your house
    Walking on the moon
    Walking back from your house
    Walking on the moon
    Feet they hardly touch the ground
    Walking on the moon
    My feet don't hardly make no sound
    Walking on, walking on the moon
    Some may say
    I'm wishing my days away
    No way
    And if it's the price I pay
    Some say
    Tomorrow's another day
    You stay
    I may as well play
    Giant steps are what you take
    Walking on the moon
    I hope my legs don't break
    Walking on the moon
    We could walk forever
    Walking on the moon
    We could be together
    Walking on, walking on the moon
    Some may say
    I'm wishing my days away
    No way
    And if it's the price I pay
    Some say
    Tomorrow's another day
    You stay
    I may as well play
    Keep it up, keep it up
    Yo yo yo yo

      In most interviews, Stewart humbly claims that he's just a guy "who bangs on shit". He says he's random, and maybe that's true, but we all know that he always found beats that nobody knew even existed in time, which makes his drumming...well, timeless.

    1981, 20 yrs old, in the military, early afternoon walked into a lounge barely opening for the day and a song was playing kinda low but I got hooked on the beat. Asked the bartender the name of the song, says, "Walking On The Moon, the Police"..... never forgot, love this song to this day in 2024!

      It was! I was a starting goaltender on my hockey team, a beautiful girlfriend, Reagan in office--not a senile, pedophile who can't draw a crowd of 20 yet he "won" 81 million votes? Bullshit. Reagan made us proud to be Americans. The music was awesome: The Police, Elvis, Joe Jackson, Genesis, Dylan's "Infidels", tom Petty, etc. MTV was exciting and we waited for new videos. People were alert and not zombies walking with their iphones. People were nicer and the US society was more polite and crime was punished.

      No, they wouldn't be a huge band and let me explain you the reason why: The three of them are great musicians but the formula that made them popular back them was good for awhile but then they became repetitive so that wouldn't last that long, same would have happened with Nirvana if Cobain still would be alive. I think the only band that could succeed using the same formula over and over again is AC/DC, they have a unique voice, a unique guitar sound and even though they've copied themselves many times people still love their music.

    This track is the fondest memory I have of my Uncle... he died in 1986, but this is the last bit of music I heard him play before we went off to do some crazy stuff. He had a turntable with chrome legs and (as he bragged) a ruby stylus, felt he was the king of the world - I play this track every so often, just so that I can think of him. Even now in 2022 I miss him... It might be a small side effect of doing good music "at the time" - but it does truly echo, and it has brought me comfort. Thank you.
