and his arm had an ice-pack round my shoulder

The story:

Hmmm... luckily for me I always felt too embarrassed to sing Tracy Chapman out too loudly (seeing that her voice is slightly better than mine), and one day I was listening to the song and realised what the words really were. I was alone, but felt incredibly stupid none the less. I braved telling some friends about my mistake once... They still find me hilarious.
