On this day, November 20, 1980, The Police released their single “De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da” in the United States. The second single from their album Zenyatta Mondatta, the track blended infectious melodies with cryptic lyrics, showcasing the band’s knack for crafting unforgettable pop-rock anthems.

While the song’s nonsensical title sparked curiosity, Sting explained it was meant to emphasize the simplicity and universality of communication through music. The track became a chart success, reaching #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and further cementing The Police’s global popularity.

Do you remember hearing “De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da” for the first time?
