some sort of cheap 80s synth, probably supposed to be a "harpsichord" sound |

Dunno if it is a synth, but you could make it on one. Sounds like maybe a sawtooth or triangle wave with a fast attack, fast decay, medium sustain, and quick release put through a filter envelope that follows a similar pattern with a low pass filter tracking the volume of the note. It would be hilarious if I'm even kind of right about that. |

I think it's the Sting.  Oh wait, you mean after that...If you've seen the original MTV video, they have a keyboard player.  But I know it's not a chazoid. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Its a harpsichord through 37 Marshall stacks turned to 11. Or maybe just a harpsichord sample through a distortion pedal, but the first answer rocks more. ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow">  https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |
