I was driving along one day with my son and a few other people and the Bee Gees song "Tragedy" came on. I started singing along and when the chorus came on sang very loudly "Hercules" which I always thought it was. Imagine my embarassment when my son told me to shut up - it was Tragedy. A tragedy in itself as I have never lived it down.
