The Bitter Pill is the title of the fifth power ballad by American hard rock band Warrant.

[2] "The Bitter Pill" features an operatic interlude, performed in German by the "Moron Fish & Tackle Choir".

The makeshift "Choir" consisted of security guards, engineers, janitors, and others who had been available at or near the recording studio.

[3] The song charted in Australia[4] and also appears on the Warrant compilation "Rocking Tall" released in 1996.

The video for the acoustic version was shot solely outside St Vincent de Paul Church located at 621 West Adams Blvd in South Los Angeles (intersection of West Adams and Figueroa).
