“Miss Gradenko” by The Police

"Miss Gradenko" is a Stewart Copeland song on Synchronicity, the Police's fifth and final studio album, released by A&M in June 1983. Copeland wrote both the music and the words, and he plays drums on it, while Sting sings and plays bass and Andy Summers takes the electric guitar: the classic trio, with the drummer holding the pen.

Hugh Padgham engineered and co-produced it with the band. The album it lives on drew its title and much of its material from Arthur Koestler's book The Roots of Coincidence, and critics praised the way the whole record ranged across styles, one cut after another sounding like its own small soundtrack. It became the band's most successful release, with the Police arguably the biggest band in the world by the time the tour was done.
