Midway through Jon Amiel's Copycat (1995), the copycat killer transcribes the lyrics to Sting's “Murder by Numbers” on the back of a note he has left for police. Listeners familiar with the song will know that the composition he has chosen to appropriate is one in which Sting playfully addresses Western society's growing obsession with homicide, offering, among other things, advice on how “to turn a murder into art.” Additional informationNotes on contributorsTodd F.
