Demolition Man (song)

"Demolition Man" is a song written by Sting and performed by Grace Jones as the A-side of a 1981 single.

The song was written by Sting in the Summer of 1980 while he was living in Peter O’Toole’s home in Connemara, Ireland.

"He [Sting] did have Demolition Man previously, mind you – he'd already given that to Grace Jones to put on her Nightclubbing album.

"[5]The Police recorded the song in a jazzy hard rock style, featuring a guitar solo by Andy Summers.
