Man, this song has been a running joke with me and my friends for years now. My friend was talking about this song and said he wrote it about a man that he slept with, cheating on his wife. We were talking about how obnoxious that saxophone is when the song starts.
I was stationed with a dude that got annoyed really easily so I decided to dl this song and I put it on a cd. Everytime that dude walked into the office, we would start the song over. He didn't even realize we were doing it until like the 10th time but he started getting really pissed off. We told him it was his theme song. If you ever get the chance to embarrass the hell out of someone by giving them a theme song, do it.
LAter that year, we were on base and someone was playing "Grandma got ran over by a reindeer" over the intercom system and my chief got pissed off because it's for official use only. He finally got the music turned off and one of the guys in our shop said "I know how we can respond to that chief" and pulls out the Careless Whisper cd. We had careless whispers blasting over the entire base.
I told a dude at work about these stories, and he plays that song every time a group of dudes come back from lunch and walk in the door around the same time. This song is the gift that keeps on giving
