Perhaps ironically, this thread has actually become relevant to its
subject heading...

In response to Phil's quoting of some lyrics from "the police" song
"Don't Stand So Close to Me"

I'm reminded of a concert recording of Frank Zappa (1988 -- captured
on his "Broadway the Hardway" album)

Franky introduces Sting thusly:

This afternoon on my way down the elevator we stopped at the lobby,
and I was introduced to a man named Sting who I'd never met before.
And, he's a very nice man, and he came to the show tonight and I just
talked to him in the dressing room a little while ago and I said: "How
would you, Mr. Sting, like to come up on stage and perform with us?"
Now . . .

Sting:  It's not in my nature to kick a man when he's down. When I saw
the first part of the show I realised I had to come up here and tell
you something. Well, four years ago Jimmy Swaggart said this about me:
He said this here song by The Police, "Murder By Numbers," was written
by SATAN! Performed by the sons of SATAN! BEELZEBUB! LUCIFER! THE
HORNED ONE! I wrote the fuckin' song, alright?

Don't stand so... don't stand so... please...  don't... stand...
sooooo.... close to me.
