"Walking on the Moon" is a reggae song by British rock band the Police, released as the second single from their second studio album, Reggatta de Blanc (1979). The song was written by lead vocalist / bassist Sting. It went on to become the band's second No. 1 hit in the UK.
The video was shot at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida in 1979. It features the band playing their respective instruments near a Saturn V moon rocket (although Sting is seen with an electric guitar, not bass) intercut with some NASA footage. It was directed by Derek Burbidge.
