Using the word "obsession" was just an exaggeration. Yeah, he's not obsessed with it.
I do think it's odd for him to use such an offensive and despised word in two songs, but I'm pretty sure he uses no other bad words in any other songs - even not-really-that-bad-words like ass or bitch, or even whore in "Roxanne".
Maybe that word isn't as offensive across the pond? Here in the States, it's 10x worse than f*ck.

People use words for specific reasons. I am sure he has one and it was a deliberate choice.

He's not obsessed, but Sting does seem to have a certain affinity for the word....
From Rolling Stone 1993:
Of course, when you're Sting, you're used to taking your share of crap. And being Sting, you trudge through it. "I saw Denis Leary deconstruct me on television last night. He said, 'Sting singing about saving the fucking rain forest – he should save his fucking hair.' " He stops and lets out an enormous laugh. "I want to meet Denis Leary in about ten years," he says, still laughing. " 'Hey, Denis, how's it feel, ya bald c*nt?' "
From Revolver 2000:
Andy Summers: You want to hear an oxymoron? Musical drummer!
Stewart Copeland: Hey Andy. What do you throw at a drowning guitarist? His amp!
Sting: What was three legs and a c*nt? A drum stool!
Revolver: Sting, what's the difference between Jungian synchronicity and a Freudian slip?
Sting: Okay, this guy gets on a train to Pittsburgh. The ticket agent has big tits, and he blurts out, 'Give me two pickets to Tittsburgh, please'. She gets really mad at him, he's really embarrassed, and says, 'I'm so sorry!' Later he tells his friend, 'God I made a terrible Freudian slip this morning,' and tells him the story. His friend says, 'That's not a Freudian slip! I had a real Freudian slip last night. It was our anniversary, and I was having dinner with my wife. I meant to say, 'Happy anniversary, darling.' And instead I said, 'You f*ckin' c*nt, you ruined my life!' Now that's a Freudian slip.'

I was still in Okinawa during this countdown. Some songs I’d never hear until I got back to the States in Jan 1990.
Like Love Shack and Bust a Move

40: I FEEL THE EARTH MOVE - MARTIKA
Carole King should have kicked her in the shins for doing this.
33: GLAMOUR BOYS – LIVING COLOUR
32: DON’T CLOSE YOUR EYES – KIX
"Don't close your IIEEEIIIIIZZZZZZZ!" #mypooreardrums
26: HEAVEN – WARRANT
25: BACK TO LIFE – SOUL II SOUL
Feels like a 90s song.
6: DR. FEELGOOD – MOTLEY CRUE
Awesome musically - especially that guitar sound, but some of its superfluous lyrics keep me from wanting to call it a classic.
I've got one thing you'll understand
He's not what you'd call a glamorous man
Got one thing that's easily understood
He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood
Let him soothe your soul, just take his hand
Some people call him an evil man
Let him introduce himself real good
He's the only one they call "Feelgood"
Songs that won't make the top 40
#44 Soulsister "The Way to Your Heart"
#54 Moving Pictures "What About Me" <- it hit #29 in 1983, but then this??
#59 White Lion "Radar Love"
#65 Giant "I'm A Beliver"
#66 Alarm "Sold Me Down The River"
#77 Enuff Z'Nuff "New Thing"
#95 Tracy Chapman "Crossroads"
#96 Winger "Hungry"

Only thing surprising about the ones that won't chart is the alarm song. Love that one. Heard it a lot up here on rock radio. Probably not pop enough.

I liked this countdown. Most of the songs are good.
I don’t think I ever heard this song. It should have stayed in the 80s.

I’ve never seen Say Anything. If they had never said the song was part of the soundtrack, I’d have never known.
But when I sing along to it, I always change the lyrics.

@semipenguin LOL! I am definitely singing the feet thing from now on! Right up there with singing "Vagina things keep shinin' through" to "The Finer Things" and "I'm so happy to be f@#$ing you" to "Stuck With You." Love it!
