Sting joined The Roots and Jimmy Fallon for a social distancing version of The Police classic “Don’t Stand So Close To Me.” Most performers used At-Home instruments while in quarantine in a similar fashion as the beloved Tonight Show segment Classroom Instruments.
“Don’t Stand So Close To Me” originally appears on The Police’s 1980 album Zenyatta Mondatta. A smash hit in 1980, 40 years later the timeless song is one of those serendipitous examples of a tune carrying a useful message in the coronavirus era.
Watch Sting, The Roots and Fallon perform “Don’t Stand So Close To Me” from their respective homes below:
!function ($) {
window.jb_populate_livestreams_promo = function( $element ) {
let args = $element.attr( ‘data-args’ );
// set up the AJAX post data
var data = {
‘action’: ‘jb_get_livestreams_promo’,
‘args’: args,
};
// make the AJAX $_POSTcall
$.ajax({
type: “POST”,
url: ajaxurl,
data: data,
success: function( response ){
if ( true == response.success ){
$element.html(response.data).slideDown(420);
// trigger Cloudinary
var evt = window.document.createEvent(‘UIEvents’);
evt.initUIEvent(‘resize’, true, false, window, 0);
window.dispatchEvent(evt);
return;
}
},
error: function( response ){
alert( response.responseText );
}
});
};
$(function(){
$(‘#livestreams-promo-container’).each( function(){
jb_populate_livestreams_promo( $(this) );
});
});
}(window.jQuery);
