How Sting Used a Unique Word in 'Wrapped Around Your Finger' and Made History

from Professor of Rock

Coming up next an interview with one of the greatest, most legendary singer-songwriters of the rock era... Sting! We discuss a few of his biggest hits ever and he’s had a lot of them with both The Police and his solo career. We separate fact from fiction on some of the stories that have circulated about them... including one of the first songs he wrote about a girl he was in love with, but didn’t know he existed... the song would take many years to finally get a release and it went to the top of the charts and then many years after that Sting actually married the song’s muse! We also get the story of the massive hit Wrapped Around Your Finger, a song that used several words that have never been used before or after in a hit song... Plus If You Love Somebody Set Them Free, the song he wrote as an antidote to his earlier #1 hit Every Breath You Take. It’s a great interview and it’s next on Professor of Rock.
