the quirky piano chord in the intro to the police song "roxanne" was an unplanned

accident:

sting: i was just about to sing the first line of this celebrated song when I noticed there was an upright piano next to the microphone. I was feeling tired, I'd been up all night for some reason so I just sort of sat down. I though the piano lid was closed, but it was open, so I wound up playing this incredible chord with my arse. it was this atonal sort of cluster that went really nicely against the chords we were playing. we thought it was funny, so we left it in."
