My new Bar Tab column "Snooping in SoHo" is basically about me eavesdropping. People frown on the practice, but most of us do it. I have no qualms about listening to what the loud mouth is saying at the table or bar stool next to me. From my latest column:

If I'm at a bar and overhear a gal blabbering to her girlfriend about the act she performed last night in bed, I'm gonna make damn sure I do my best to absorb every detail. It's my right. Likewise, if my buddies and I are swapping tales in public, I welcome any and all to lean in and listen -- especially if I'm out with Buck and he has a nice buzz kicking. It'll be worth your while. Although I'm talking shit about Puffy Lips and Square Jaw's dialogue, I'm sure Buck and I often engage in chats that are also inanely humorous.

Top 10: Songs about snooping, eavesdropping, etc.

1. "I Heard it Through the Grapevine," Marvin Gaye

2. "The Window Up Above," George Jones

3. "Every Breath You Take," Police

4. "The Dangling Conversation," Simon and Garfunkel

Have to include "Somebody's Watching Me" by Rockwell - 80's classic 1 hit wonder w/ Michael & Jermaine Jackson providing guest vocals on the chorus. They were all, evidently, childhood friends.
