At the beginning of the song Roxane by The Police, during the intro, you can hear a strange piano chord, then Sting laughing. In fact, during the voice recording, Sting accidentally sat on the piano just behind him. They decided to keep this on the final mix.
@@bonniestar4707 They do make them popular again, which is good in a way, especially when people ty to cover them on youtube or something; but some kinds ruins it by doing dumb moves so-called "dances" or fortnite shit on it, and that kinda ruin the magic of the song
Joshua Dyson Learn the fucking meaning of the song, its about a guy who is in love with a prostitute and is trying to tell her he does not have to do this to herself
Yes, he wants her to stop because he's in love with her. But, he also wants her to keep going because it's the only way he can see her. Jesus, I was just saying, "I find it ironic that The Police sing this." I was just stating my opinion, not looking for what the song is about.
Joshua Dyson Holy shit what is wrong with you it is not encouraging young girls to go into prostitution, most young girls probably don't even know what turn on the red light indicates. And the main meaning of the song is about the fact that she does not have to keep doing that to herself. Stop trying to deep, your just being annoying and cringey
shopflag everytime I hear that I feel obligated to do a burpee because that’s what we listen to in my marital arts class and every time it says “Roxanne” we have to do a burpee
My science teacher thinks I listen to screamo music and I told him I didn't, so he sometimes pulls out my headphones and tries catch me listening too it, but one time I was listening to this and he looked so fucking surprised lmao This song is great though
MoonPlayz don’t put an r/thathappened on very plausible things...r/thathappened was created for people commenting outlandish claims like they won the lottery, they saved a bank from an armed robbery, they punched a 8 foot tall nazi, and don’t forget everybody clapped. This comment could be a lie,sure. but that would be really pathetic because this is such a boring everyday thing too lie about...it’s hard to believe but not every body lies about everything online..some people have life in which things semi-interesting things actually happen to them, it’s a shocker I know.
me listening to this for all my life, still jamming to it for literally no reason alone in my room at ungodly hours of the night, screaming "ROOOOXAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANE" and then "put on the red light" with a little breath. I'm hella depressed and THIS is what I choose to listen to on repeat? lets go I guess
i use to entertain co-workers and friends with my Eddie Murphy rendition of this song late 80's..from the movie 48 hours ..still makes me laugh thinking about ..
Omg i was named after this song😵. I know what your thinking, “literally dude your parents must hate you.” Yes they very much do... but my name isnt Roxanne, my name is redlight😁❤️

I had this drill in basketball practice where we would play this song on a speaker and do a burpee every time that he said Roxanne...now every time I hear this song I get the impulse to start doing burpees 😂
I saw this older gentleman friend of mine singing and playing "Roxanne" a few months ago on the stage out here in Vancouver, BC. So later on told him 'I love that song because it reminds me of my best friend Roxanne." And a few nights ago when I watched this video on youtube of a kid named Tommy Laban playing guitar and singing "Roxanne." He is also a good singer and a very talented musician, so anyway when I read a comment about him on ALL COMMENTS: I read about a lady commenting "I never knew it was about a prostitute!" And I'm like "What?" So I started thinking to myself "Why did I sing that song to Roxanne every time I saw her walking down the street?" Because every time I sang "Roxanne" to her, she would always smile back at me. So now I'm thinking, she probably doesn't even know the lyrics to this song...
+DANELDA CANADA She doesen´t know the lyrics to her OWN song?! Woulden´t most people with a somewhat unusual name look up every song starring their name in the songs name?! I thought so!
You see in one of the episodes all 7 main characters get together to celebrate Troy and Abed's new apartment, and troy and abed are 2 of the main characters. They order pizza, and when it gets there everyone is wondering who will go get the pizza, so Jeff- another main character rolls a dice to determine who goes and abed has a theory that Jeff is making 6 different timelines, and in almost every timeline Britta plays Roxanne on the speakers and tries to sing along butt Jeff stops her
The 60s-mid 90s when Autotune wasn’t created and singers can sing with their real voices This was real music not the Robotic Autotune voices we have today
we were all getting drunk last night and what u do to this song when it says roxanne u take a sip of a shot or a sip of vodka or like alcohol and then after u take a sip twirl then wait till it says roxannne again it was really fun u get so drunk
Was he telling her that she didn't have to work as a prostitute anymore, but to do it anyway? "Roxanne you don't have to put on the red light" "Roxanne put on the red light". Or was it that he didn't want her to work as a prostitute and was calling her name "Roxanne!" over the voices of others wanting her to go back to it "Put on the red light."? Or is it a metaphor for her not caring "if it's wrong or if it's right" and doing it out of habit, each night she "put on the red light", while he calls out in pain "Roxanne!"? Or is it a story about a guy trying to persuade the prostitute he loves to stop working the streets because it's a dangerous job "It's a bad way", but after her not listening to him, he gives up and bitterly tells her to do what she wants "Put on the red light!"? Something different to be heard from each play-though.
😂😂😂 no wonder you’re lonely you’re a whore who would want you 😭😭😭keep dancing by yourself 😂🤦♂️🤦♂️ you’re so lucky some men are desperate pieces of shit that will fuck anything if they were like me and didn’t want to have anything to do with a whore girls like you would have nothing no only fans no porn ahh you don’t got money get a job bitch not a damn only fans or a prostitute selling away your body for other people how low could you go🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ what a disappointment to you’re family I could never forgive myself for steeping that low

Great quality, good work mate
Was he telling her that she didn't have to work as a prostitute anymore, but to do it anyway? "Roxanne you don't have to put on the red light" "Roxanne put on the red light".
Or was it that he didn't want her to work as a prostitute and was calling her name "Roxanne!" over the voices of others wanting her to go back to it "Put on the red light."?
Or is it a metaphor for her not caring "if it's wrong or if it's right" and doing it out of habit, each night she "put on the red light", while he calls out in pain "Roxanne!"?
Or is it a story about a guy trying to persuade the prostitute he loves to stop working the streets because it's a dangerous job "It's a bad way", but after her not listening to him, he gives up and bitterly tells her to do what she wants "Put on the red light!"?

Your comment, truthfully, is the best analysis of the song I have read so far. Also, your analysis is better than my fellow colleagues. Well done.
He met her as a prostitute and see her as that, he want's her to put on the red light for him only... simple.
