"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.

baseball cap
la gorra
Picture ’Gorby’ (Mikhail Gorbachev) with a baseball cap, or Gordon Gekko, Gordon Gould, Gordon Downie, Gordon Ramsay, Gordon Sumner (Sting)…
Imagine a gory baseball cap, the owner keeps wearing it because it’s his favorite.
How many caps do you have?
¿Cuántas gorras tienes?

Sunday’s Song…
I got home Saturday afternoon and needed a little nap while doing laundry. Pretty much emptied this thing out, washed my clothes, now I’m putting some clothes back inside.
“I’d invite you back to my place, it’s only mine because it holds my suitcase.”
“Bird in a flying cage you’ll never get to know me well. The world’s my oyster, a hotel room’s a prison cell.”

Sting is born Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner in Wallsend, Northumberland, England. He earns his nickname when a fellow musician says he looks like a bee in his yellow-and-black striped sweater. He is working as a schoolteacher when his band The Police hit the big time.
