from [[L'Historia Bandido]]: [[Stewart Copeland]] mentioned that this [[Sting (person) | Sting]] song was called [[Love Is In My Heart]] earlier. But Stewart changed it to [[Three O'Clock Shit]] for the sake of the setlist. [[The Police]] didn't have any credibility anyway...

The track listing on the CD [[Strontium 90: Police Academy]] lists this as [[Three O'Clock Shot]].

=Alternate and cover versions=
