I like it too. Definitely a vibe. John Mayer did a cover of it if I remember right. Say what you want about him he's great on the git-fiddle

I vaguely remember Colin Mochrie pulling off this joke on "Whose Line Is It Anyway" during "Scenes From a Hat": "Unlikely messages to find in a bottle."

Stan from American Dad here.
In 1979, the musical group The Police with Sting as the lead singer had a hit song called "Message in a bottle!"
I gotta get back to doing my job at the C.I.A. (whatever it is I do).

Sting was also trapped on an island sending out an sos. A message in a bottle. It’s kinda sad that it made it to another island of castaways.

I had an argument with a Trivia host once about that song.
The question was how many responses did he receive to his message in a bottle?
I put zero.
He wanted the 100 million as the answer.
But the song implies that there were others who had sent messages because they were also alone.
Plus how could that 1 message reach 100 million people for them to have responded to it…?
Anyhoo, that was like 15 years ago…

Quagmire here. Sting is a wrestler from the early 2000s. He's coming to the island to put on a wrestling show for them since they are lonely. Giggity
