i'll be watching you...

When I was little, I thought the song Every Breath You Take by The Police was about an uptight, micromanaging scientist keeping a close eye on his new chemistry apprentice. This was due entirely to my mishearing the lyric "Every vow you break" as "Every vial you break".

Sting saw this happen.
Did You Know?: It's a little know fact that The Police were originally known as Sting and the Anal Chemists back in the 60s. They changed their name when drummer Stewart Copeland was informed by Mayo Clinic proctologist Barry Whittford that considerable confusion had arisen amongst his patients as to the use of chemical agents in treating colon infirmities.
