    "comment": "Sting was visiting the German avant-garde composer Eberhard Schoener in early 1979. One night they went out on a schnapps drinking session. Sting returned to his Munich hotel room drunk, slumped on his bed when this song's riff came into his head. He got up and starting walking around the room to try to clear his head muttering to himself, \"Walking round the room, walking round the room.\" \n\nThe next morning he wrote down the riff and decided that \"Walking round the room\" was a stupid title so he changed it to an even more stupid one, which was \"Walking On The Moon.\" The song is set in space, but it's an allegory for how Sting felt when he was on the road, confined to hotel rooms and stages as the world kept turning.\n\nThe song's video was shot at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on October 23, 1979. Stewart Copeland took the opportunity to drum on a Saturn V rocket that served as backdrop. It was directed by Derek Burbidge, who did all of their early videos.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPwMdZOlPo8",
