Miss Gradenko - the Police

One of the sleeper tunes on Synchronicity (1983).  According to Wikipedia, it's "a song about a romance in the middle of a communist bureaucracy."  Interesting in that it is not listed as one of the singles of that album but it got airplay on rock stations in the US.  As I recall it was announced that the Police were breaking up as that album was being released.  I was very sad at that news, but given how bands tend to go stale, in retrospect it's a great thing that they stopped there.  Just about everything they every produced is superb.
