Zenyatta Mondatta (stylised as Zenyattà Mondatta on the album cover artwork) is the third studio album by British rock band the Police, released on 3 October 1980.
Stewart Copeland said that the group arrived at the album’s title after deciding it should roll off the tongue. „Zenyatta” and „Mondatta” are invented words, hinting at Zen, at Jomo Kenyatta, at the French word for the world („le monde”), and at „Reggatta”, from the title of the previous Police album, Reggatta de Blanc. As Copeland explained:
It means everything. It’s the same explanation that applies to the last two. It doesn’t have a specific meaning like „Police Brutality” or „Police Arrest”, or anything predictable like that. Being vague it says a lot more. You can interpret it in a lot of different ways. It’s not an attempt to be mysterious, just syllables that sound good together, like the sound of a melody that has no words at all has a meaning. Miles (Stewart Copeland’s brother and group manager) came up with „Trimondo Blondomina”. Very subtle. Geddit? Like three blondes and the world. Then somebody thought of „Caprido Von Renislam”. That rolls off the tongue. It was the address of the studio.[8]
