 Remember when The Police were a damn great band? This is a portion of their performance in Urgh! a Music War.

 Remember a film called Urgh! A Music War? This movie gave me a strange new perspective on music and performance when I first saw it during my teenage years. If by chance there are any fans of Urgh, drop me a PM as I have come across a pretty damn good copy and it is very hard to come by. More info on the film here:

The Police performing Roxanne from the film:
