Stewart Copeland, and Andy Summers--better known as the Police--have announced plans to jump-start their career by releasing a new single, a re-recording of a track from their debut album, Outlandos d’Amour, “Be My Girl--Sally.”The original version was a randy paean to an inflatable doll. The new version will sample audio from a recently released tape of a massage therapist accusing former Vice-President Al Gore of unwanted sexual advances and be re-titled “Be My Girl--Massage Therapist.”
According to a group spokesman, the trio got the idea for the project when it realized that the original stanzas--one of which goes “I needed inspiration, / a brand new start in life, / somewhere to place affection, / but I didn’t want a wife”--needed very little re-writing.
“The whole thing seemed to fall into their lap, so to speak. We only hope it doesn’t rub fans the wrong way.”
