Ah Da Da Da, by Trio, I remember that Dad, Mom and me used to like the song a lot back then.

Oh anyway flash forward to 1996, the last year I was employed under a company, and no usually I don't listen to anything in Spanish.
So this exception is Santa Sabina, El Angel, regrettably the singer Rita Guerrero, died of cancer a few years ago.
Breast cancer got to her, and she died Friday 11 March 2011.

How about some deep tracks from the Police before they were pop stars?

Last week I got pretty sick and missed a day of work where I did nothing but lie on the sofa with headphones on listening to music. Somehow I stumbled upon The Police Live!, which is a two-disk set released (not recorded) in 2003. The first disk was recorded in 1979 at the Orpheum in Boston and broadcast live on WBCN radio. That's where the first two recordings above are from, despite what the titles say. The second disk of Live! was recorded in Atlanta during the Synchronicity tour.

I hadn't really considered myself a fan of The Police; I first heard them on MTV when I was like 10, and got worn out on those hits from Synchronicity pretty quickly. But being an old WBCN fan, I had to give it a try. And wow, I had no idea how good these guys were live back in the day! They had punk energy + chops.

That sent me down a rabbit hole of catching up on all that I had missed. All the above songs came from their first two albums, which I hadn't heard before. I found out they were self-produced on a shoestring budget and recorded by Nigel and Chris Gray, who were hobbyists that converted the top floor of this former dairy into a makeshift studio for 1200 quid:

If interested, here's an old tour documentary from 1980:
