Sting has shot three different videos for the three different versions of his new single "Stolen Car (Take Me Dancing)." The former Police man wanted to create a "suite" of videos for the track, and he enlisted Twista and the Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am to appear in one each. Centered around a warehouse party, the three videos were shot by director Nick Quested in Brooklyn, New York.

"When I heard the song, I was like, 'Man, this is really hot!" Twista says. Their video features a stone-faced Sting dancing stiffly with a group of tricked-out honeys, followed by a shot of him and his new rapper buddy driving off in a 745 Beemer. A confused Sting looks like he was just along for the ride. "I think his wife was on the set," says Twista. "So he didn't want to get too loose with it."

The song, from Sting's 2003 release Sacred Love, will be released as a CD single on May 18th and will include all three videos. Prior to that, the videos can been seen on AOL's First View program for four days, starting today.
