* [[https://rockcelebrities.net/when-the-police-started-a-feud-with-rush-but-neil-peart-shut-them-down/ According to Stewart Copeland]], The Police tried to get a feud going with [[Music/RushBand Rush]]...[[EpicFail only for Rush to not respond at all to their attempts to start a feud]].

* Stewart Copeland's film ''Everyone Stares: The Police Inside Out'' is littered with hilarity:
** Sting and Andy's conversation while filming "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da"'s video, which is an exercise in lip-reading during the video proper, but is helpfully subtitled here.
** Andy's CloudCuckoolander antics, including singing "i'll sing you a song about my cat / my dog" repeatedly during a soundcheck; improvising a spy-on-the-run narrative during a train ride; and playing a difficult jazz guitar solo in a dressing room while trying to hide from the camera under a table.
** Stewart's brother Miles reciting "Every Breath You Take" over the studio backing track like a preacher from the Southern United States.
** Stewart filming himself drumming one-handed and talking to the camera during a live show.
