Oy, kids today.

Sting was the lead singer for the Police, notable for his absurdly high vocals. He went on to have his own non-falsetto, rather boring solo career. The high point was when he guest-starred on the Simpsons during the Well episode.

The shoe-banging and the "We will bury you" might not be the same event (I don't recall right now and it's nearly midnight). To the best of my recollection, the Soviet representative to the UN (or possibly Brezhnev, who happened to be visiting), took off his shoe and banged it on his desk to make a point, that point being that the Communist governments would bury the western capitalist democracies.

So...um...nice fiver, eh?
