Unless you've only got the original 7" radio edit, in which case the song started with the famous guitar riff. The 12" and LP versions have got Sting plastered all over them in all his tantric glory. He also sings harmony vocals in the choruses, and I think I'm right in saying he also gets one of the "We've got to install microwave ovens" all to himself. The joke loses a lot in the translation. :) Well, Mr. Monkey, to be pedantic, Sting features prominently in the introduction to Money For Nothing as guest vocalist (the snivelling whiney voice singing “I want my MTV” – that’s him, that is).

That would have been proper poetic justice. Although it does at least mean he's been spared the "Ho ho, the crocodiles got you in the end" type headlines, I suppose.
