Some of the people at work are having a competition - we have to submit self-appraisals to our head of department, who will read them and give his own comments.
The challenge is for us all to include a well known lyric from an 80s song in our appraisal comments - but without our head of dept realising what we are doing!
Any suggestions?

Might seem crazy but I don't know how far you guys are going with it.....but here is one that caught my goofy eye:
How To Be A Millionaire (By ABC)
(released 1985)
I've seen the future, I can't afford it
Tell me
the truth sir, someone just bought it
Say mr. whispers!
Here come the click of dice
Roulette and blackjacks - gonna
build us a paradise
Larger than life and twice as ugly
If we have to live there, you'll have to drug me
Maybe these luxuries can only compensate
For all the
cards you were dealt at the hands of fate
So tell
me
Tell me! tell me! How to be a millionaire
Tell me!
tell me! How to be a millionaire!
Millionaire! Billionaire!
Trillionaire!
Hardly surprising if you might
consider
Loyalties go to the highest of bidders
What's my opinion? I'd give you ten to one
Give
me a million, a franchise on fun
But there are millions who
often get nowhere
And there's just one secret I think
you should share
Maybe these luxuries can only
compensate
For all the cards you were dealt at the hands of
fate
So tell me
Tell me! tell me! How to be a
millionaire
Tell me! tell me! How to be a millionaire!
Who wants to be millionaire?
I do! - I don't!
- I do!
Who wants to be millionaire?
I do! - I
don't!
I've seen the future and I
can't afford it
Good luck!

Hmmm... I think your best strategy is to use song lyrics that are common phrases...
"might as well jump"?
Every rose has its thorn...
I'd do anything for you (Gloria estefan)
I ran, I ran so far away...
Love is a battlefield...
As an employee, are you "hungry like the wolf"?
Do you seem to have an "invisible touch"?
Is your phone number 867-5309? That would be easy!
What a fun idea... I hope you do well!!!

If you're feeling sarcastic you could say something like "Dizzy, I'm so dizzy my head is spinning, can I go home please?" I know this is an old song but it was covered by Vic Reeves in the 80's. Good luck!!!!
