I was in a restaurant the other night, and the sound system played a pleasant little pop tune that I later found out was called "Lemon Tree" by a German Band called Fool's Garden. The reason I mention this is because, with all the ambient noise in the restaurant, I thought I was hearing some weird unknown Sting / Police tune! The lead singer seemed to be doing a fair Sting impression when he sang the first line, which is almost exactly (musically -- note for note)the first line of "Wrapped Around Your Finger". It's easily findable on You Tube if you want to hear what I mean. Speaking of "I Shall Be Released", I have some fabulous boots by that name with a bunch of Sting performances that includes the title track. I think there are 5 CD's in the series -- if there are any more out there, please let me know -- I am VERY interested!! Have a great week! Holly
Wow - I see what you mean, Holly!! Interesting - thanks!

I remember several years ago this Lemon Tree song came up on the list and there being some debate as to whether or not it was Sting - who ever it is singing for Fool's Garden they really do sound a great deal like him! -----Original Message----- From: police-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:police-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Sweetmomb@cs.com Sent: Monday, April 07, 2008 11:48 AM To: police@mailman.xmission.com Subject: [Police] Lemon Tree I was in a restaurant the other night, and the sound system played a pleasant little pop tune that I later found out was called "Lemon Tree" by a German Band called Fool's Garden.

I downloaded this song from Napster years ago. It was listed as Sting and it sounded so much like him that I never questioned it. I just thought it was him covering another band's song.

Ah, the old "Lemon Tree". I did my own little investigation back when the debate ran on the Sting newsgroup (alt.fan.sting), and I discovered something interesting: I knew that it was not Sting singing, because I knew the band Fool's Garden (German, I believe), and the way I remebered the song, it was never one that I could mistake for a Sting song. So I decided to track down the original cd and compared it to the verson floating around on Napster (and Audiogalaxy - remember that one, boys and girls?), and it was undoubtedly the same song, but the Napster version was slightly faster, giving the singer a slightly higher pitch that - admittedly - made him sound very much like Sting.

Ohhhhhh yea.. Audiogalaxy !!! That's a blast from the past! I loved the way it was organized and the myriad of ways you could run searches - wow, it's been so long ago I'd almost forgotten!
