THE 1000 BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.

727-The Police-Wrapped Around Your Finger.

1983-Number 7 single.

Best Bit-At 3.19.Sting uses some big words in this one, such as ‘Scylla,”Charibdes,”Mephistopheles,’ and ‘Allabaster,’ with that kind of knowledge he should have been a teacher.

The Police were formed in London, England in 1977, by Gordon Sumner (Sting,) Stewart Copeland, and Henry Padovani, Andy Summers would replace Padovani within six months.They were active until 1984, before reforming for three concerts in 1986, and again in 2007-2008, for a reunion tour, they have sold in excess of 75 million records (see also best songs 1020.)

‘Wrapped Around Your Finger’ was the second single released from the Police’s fifth studio Album ‘Synchronicity,’ written by Sting, this was a personal song, as were two of the other tracks released as singles, ‘Every Breath You Take,’ and ‘King of Pain.’ Sting has described ‘Wrapped Around Your Finger’ as a ‘spiteful song, about turning the tables on someone who had been in charge,’

Sting would often use mythological, and literary references in his songs. Here he includes Scylla, and Charybdis who are monsters of Greek mythology, you will also hear Sting sing,’Mephistopheles is not your name,’Mephistopheles is another name for the devil.

‘Devil and the deep blue sea behind me, vanish in the air, you’ll never find me.’
