is perhaps one of the most misunderstood and misused songs ever; it's a song about nuclear war and yet people used it to celebrate graduations, etc. just like they used Every Breath You Take (a song about a stalker) as the first song at weddings, etc.

I can't remember though, did Hobbs say that the Police were a jazz band or was it something else. I find it funny even though I can't remember which it was. What a goofy prick that guy is.

Edit: I remember now, it was blues band. Because when I think of blues music, I immediately picture Sting and Stu.

Don't forget "Born in the USA" *

Even fooled Ronald Reagan, which isn't easy to do

In fact, it's impossible to do now.

I would add "Fortunate Son" but I'm not sure people misunderstand that as much as they just misuse it. Like 10,000 forks when all you need is a knife.

I was at a wedding where “One” by U2 was the first song

Clearly the only lyric they heard was “We’re one but not the same.”
