Police, The - On Any Other Day Lyrics

i had a dream about a pet frog called stewart running away last night

Un tema de 35 años que se mantiene vigente.

Me gusta la escalera musical.

WHEN MY FAMILY PISS ME OFF... THANX FOR ONE OF YOUR GREAT SONGS!!!

How many of us have had that on any other day, it would be ok, feeling?

Brilliant.

This is so Klark Kent, quirky Stewart, love it

“The other ones are complete bullshit”

When the wombat comes...haha, how many people, other than Australians, know what a wombat is without looking it up?

i just used google translate but i am afraid that i missed the punch line on the verse

Such a great & fantastic song. I listen to it on my own birthday every year! " When the wombat comes"...LMAO!

0:41 Best part hands down

I wish copeland sang lead vocals in more police songs

Chicken in a corn!!

Favorite police song

#2020 🍸🌐🌐🌐🌐

La insociable sociabilidad Kant/Kent 👏👏👏👏👏 and it would be ok on any other day!!!

The other ones are complete bullshit.

I was blue and lonely.............

Does that conniving description trick actually work?

Gizmodrome!

Ladies and Gentlerman. Mr. Stewart Copeland !! @ the Drums ...

Poor guy. It's his birthday
:/

Is that why? That's still a lot to go wrong on one day.

I lived this song..well at least some parts of it. I had no clue back in 1979 when I bought this album just how much of this song I would actually experience. Although most of the experiences have come and gone...I still think the cups and plates are in a conspiracy.

@Anthem 2112 Does your wife burn the scrambled eggs? Is your son GAYYYYYY? Does your wife tell you about her love affairs?. Did your dog bite your leg?.

Why is this my favorite Police song? Can you tell me please, Miss Gradenko?

The other ones are complete bullshit

"my 10-years old son has turned gay" - no major-label band could let this on record now.

backslash68 “My fine young son has turned out gay.” Not sure where you heard “10 years old”...?

I'm surprised assholes haven't called Stewart Copeland "homophobic" for being chagrined that his son is gay. But then again this song never received any radio airplay.

This song is a bit odd. Kinda like it though.

Great singin in an American accent from Sting

Joe Ritchie That’s Stewart singing lead, Sting singing the chorus

But, it's his birthday...

Brilliantly sardonic song from Stew, but check out the bass on this song. Sting was ON IT on this album.

yes fuck yes

This sounds like a Weird Al parody.

DragonSlayer5279 you mean weird AL sounds like them. 1979 AL was nobody

His son turned out gay.

The other one's are complete bullshit

Always loved this song

Sounds like Klark Kent.

Klark Kent is Stewart Copeland

This sounds like a Weird Al song

I thought I was the only person who thought that.

I got my head shaved to this album, drunk off my ass, by my friends who by a wild coincidence were also drunk off their asses. 1981 was a fine summer.

i know it was different at the time but the gay joke doesn't really roll with me. But apart from that a amazing song form a even better album. Would be a really good song for the film american beauty, anyone agree?

Love This lol

This song is sad.

The Wombat comes,he'll find me gone..........

What is that supposed to mean, eh!

I've wondered about that bloody wombat ever since I first heard this, aged 10!

Find me gorrrrrn.

Stewart Copand's song, he always wrote the quirkiest Police songs.

Rusty Kuntz He was the freer of the three I think. Sting turned out to be such an egomaniac...too bad, loved them together.

Marisa Almor big city bright lights.

sang this one too...

For a moment, the voices dominate.

Darn barn yard son

The best part of the whole song, tying it all together, "On any other day?" ... "Happy Birthday...Dear Daddy....Happy Birthday, to you!" .. it's enough to make me laugh so hard that I black out. :)

tschak909 ... Where is that?

tschak909 always thought that was ' Andy' (Summers)

The cups and plates are in uh kun spear a sea.

killer track. love the whole thing. it is a lot like a personal message to the listener. this is my fav record they released. it is a classic.

The man that composed the music for the Spyro the Dragon games!!!

OK so I don't know that music but it just can't beat the Equalizer (TV series, not movie) theme :)

Stewart's sense of humor... love it.

BoingTarash1960s It was his anarchist nature, that's why he was so creative, he felt free!

@Gup Blain even better!

+Gup Blain Screw political correctness. I am so sick of everyone worrying about offending someone. What a waste of time and brain cells.

@Gup Blain Why because he said "I find your son has turned out GAYYYYYY"? This is 1979 before stupid political correctness.

@Willie Gordon I think it's "My fine young son has turned out gay". I agree with you though, the political correctness has gotten way out of hand and needs to go.

he does more stuff like this as Klark Kent....from the late 70's....stuff that Stewart says Sting the Magnificent would never sing

+Jim Coveney Got an EP on green vinyl!

reminds me of a B-52's song

sdrydrhdrhty

"The other ones are complete bullshit"

He said a no no word

@Jasper Yraeg I'm telling on him!

Mike Soluna Hahaha, he was the most daring of the three, loved him for it. He was such an innovator!

"Go, Wombats! Go!" - Kevin Costner in ehmm....which movie was thát?

There's a tree on the side-walk
And a carrr by the door

Two, three, four

only the rich could be 30yrs ahead

Reminds me of a reggae-tinged version of an early Pink Floyd song with Syd Barrett, anyone agree out of interest?

yes i know what you mean. But musically Barrett wasn't impressive at all like Gilmour or Police.

ArseneWenger wtf

Donald Summers Lucifer Sam

it totally reminds me of bike, holy cow

Not enough whimsy or tolkienesque whitterings to be anything near Barretts Floyd. Poor comparison.

Stewart Copeland... Need I say more?

@GaryBlue Fox Sting STINKS. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@Willie Gordon Wow ! .Let me know when you have your 5th birthday , I will send you some sweeties.

@GaryBlue Fox I'll be 62 on November 17th.

@Willie Gordon Act it.

GaryBlue Fox hahaha duuude

The guitar riff reminds me of the B52's!

+David Deadman  they would have copied it from The Police..

"The other ones are complete bullshit..."

+kompilesoft Yes, that's Stewart. He's lead vocal on this too.

+kompilesoft He is American.

Jake Haze Yes. Although he WAS born in Egypt.

He was actually born in Alexandria, Virginia, before moving to Egypt when he was a few months old.

I hate Sting. Without Stewart Copeland he wouldn't be as famous as now.

this man is having a very very bad birthday.

Im having this kind of a birthday today.
The plates and cups are in a conspiracy..

Say what?

Ok, The Police actually are watching me.

Debonaire Nerd hahahaha

Thats me, but on a good day!

Great tune. Comedic existential angst never got any better than this....well, John Cooper Clarke perhaps.

For about 20 years, I have thought the chorus was "My mind has turned to scrambled eggs." I just looked it up now, and that's #MisheardLyrics 

THAT made me LOL!  :D

+thekingoffunnyfaces Yeah, when I was much younger, I used to think Aerosmith's "Dude looks like a lady" was "Do the funky lady" And my good buddy, who does know the real lyrics still loves to sing "Do me like you hate me". But that's something different altogether...

johnpaavo I always thought he was singing "Girl! Girl! Do this like a lady."

The doctor bit my leg

‘The girl with colitis goes by...’

Love this.  Not heard this before.  :D

Best track on this whole album - maybe 'cause Sting didn't write it?????

this is a decent song - but to say this is better than the Sting classics 'message in a bottle' or 'Bed's too big without you' is a bit of a reach 

bullshit it's alright for you!!!

Sting also didn't write other tracks, what're they called... Contacts and Does Everyone Stare. Stewart declares this to be the best Police disc.

Yes sir...my favorite for sure!

you want something for anything?

Really? "On Any other Day" has a f**king advertisement? Seriously? THIS SONG?? God I hate advertising.

You're not alone. It's very annoying.

AdBlock, you're welcome.

me too! haha

I have lots of ideas, sheep. ;)

I know every lyric

Hell Ya, I've loved this song since I was 6. My uncle is a musician and is inspired by police. He even did a remix on it. Thats how I know and love this song I'm only 12 xD THUMBS UP

"There's a house on my street.

I'm the cap who lives in it."

One of the best bands in History

Federica Gardenghi 🤪

I'm 16, and I love this. No, wait, I'm 9. Come to think of it, I'm 11. No, that's not right--I'm only 6. Or 3, I can't remember which. In any event, thumbs up, please!

Staple of my drumming in many ways .

I 'membaz my friend in '86 or so telling me Stewart wrote this one - almost as good as *bring on the night*!

I love The Police and this song as well! I have this album on vinyl, it's crazy genius. And I'm 13 years old as well.

Stewart Copeland seems to be an interesting guy... the more I listen to the Police the more I love them. Man, I love this band.

Not only is Stewart Copeland one of the greatest drummers to ever sit behind a drum set, he can sing really well too.

13 yeas old and a HUGE police fan

Happy Birthday Daddy!

I'm 42 and I still like the Police.

Absolutly true. im 14 years old and the police are my favorite band

A few songs are good, but mostly its just noise ....
