Fly on the wall
Today I was listening a podcast when I heard the expression "fly on the wall". I think this expression means the desire for someone to listening a conversation between two or more people. I researched about this prhase on internet and find some songs with this theme, such as Miley Cyrus and Thousand Foot Krutch. Here in Brazil there was a important singer called Raul Seixas that made a song that told the history of a fly that landed in a soup.
