Listen to the famous song and answer some questions / fill in some gaps in the lyrics.

In 1987, Sting told Musician about musical styles in the song, "It started as a reggae kind of lilt, then I added a bridge that felt classical, so I put the violins and harpsichords on, then we went into a jazz section. I wanted to give the impression of somebody walking down the street, passing different musical events. To sum up what it's like on the street in New York. You pass a shop window and hear different kinds of music in each one."
