Best Gene Pitney song not by Gene Pitney. I think I've seen the film, not sure.

Pittsburgh musician B.E. Taylor, best known for regional 1983 hit Vitamin L
I always thought maybe I imagined this song, since nobody else ever remembered it. The lyric, "If you could buy, I'm sure they'd sell Vitamin L" always drove me bonkers.

Fucking phenomenal use of passive voice by the cops there.
"West Mercia Police can confirm that officers responded to a report for the concern for the safety of an individual at approximately 1.30am this morning at an address in Telford," the force said in a statement.
"Upon arrival Taser was deployed and a 48-year-old man, who subsequently received medical attention, was pronounced dead at approximately 3am.
I mean, PV to the point where it's suggesting he received medical attention after he was pronounced dead.
