a few of my friends and i were on our way to a beach a few years back when the song came on. my buddy was like 'i heard this song is about when phil collins was out to sea on his yacht and saw a murder take place on another boat. when they both got to shore, collins invited the guy backstage to his show and when the guy got there, he was arrested.' and, just as he finished that story, the DJ prematurely faded out the song and was like 'that was 'in the air' tonight by phil collins. people think this song is about collins watching a murder on his boat and then taking matter into his own hands, but they are wrong. it is actually about his bitter divorce.'
so we all start laughing loudly in the car and pointing to the kid who told us the story in jest. and one of my buddies was like "it was almost like the DJ was listening to you and was like (waving his arms) 'whoah! whoah! whoah!' (mimics turning down the levels)"
it was pretty hysterical. i still get a kick out of that story.
