“Mostly they just play the short version. Recently I heard it without the faggot section at all! Talk about short! (I think satellite radio.)
A shame, being the rock song with the greatest whole intro ever”
IIRC, 80’s on 8 only plays the short version. Classic Rewind, Rock Bar, and Red White aBooze has played both depending on the DJ on duty.
Sting provided the falsetto introduction and the backing chorus of “I want my MTV” in the song.
Correct.
