The constabulary feature in the early partÌýof the show, with drummer Stewart Copeland's solo run getting him on Top of The Pops months before he appeared with The Police. Sting and Andy Summers were there as well, cavorting behind him in animal masks, demonstrating that they were either ashamed of 'Don't Care' or were saving their beautiful blond haircuts for the real stardom.ÌýFollow that withÌýthe Equals song that the Clash coveredÌýon Sandinista!ÌýIt actually sounds like a Strummer/Jones composition, inspired by the 1976 riots in London, rather than an Eddy Grant song inspired by the situation in LondonÌýin 1968.ÌýThat's a compliment , by the way, although Eddy may not see it like that.
