A phenomenon

Something happened to me this week. I did a bit of work for an agency called Buzzman here in Paris a month or so ago - checking some scripts, making a few changes, improving the English and working out hundreds of words that could be entered by visitors to a YouTube site they were working on. So far, so normal.

Then on Thursday I was working at another agency when all of a sudden some familiar words came out of the speakers on the guy next door's desk. And for the rest of the day, everywhere I went I could hear this. People started talking about it on Twitter and posting it on their Facebook pages.

If you haven't guessed yet, it was this:
