STING STUNG BY REWORKING PROPOSAL

What, we wonder, is so great about the Police legacy that Sting is fighting to protect? Stuart Copeland asked Sting if he could do some remixing of the Police back catalogue. Sting said no.

Presumably, the thought of anyone making a laughing stock out of De Do Do Do De Da Da Da would be too much for Sting to bear; and Copeland daring to remix Don't Stand So Close To Me would be too much for him; ruining the cherished memories people have of the time Sting flogged it to be used in a deodorant advert.

For the best "Police" remix, check out the Season 3 Sopranos episode where "Every Move You Make" is mashed up with the Peter Gunn theme while the FBI are trying to sneak into Tony's house. Shame that mix never made it onto anything slim, shiny and round...
