Watch: CEO Caught Singing 'We're In The Money' Amid News Of Mega Deal

Beware the hot microphone.

That's the lesson for Mike Coupe after the chief executive officer of British grocer J Sainsbury was caught singing "We're in the Money," on camera as he prepared for a television interview.

The gaffe, covered widely in the British media, came after the news that Sainsbury will acquire Walmart's Asda in a $10 billion deal.

Coupe apologized and said it was an "unguarded moment trying to compose myself before a TV interview," according to British press reports.

"It was an unfortunate choice of song from the musical '42nd Street,' which I saw last year, and I apologize if I have offended anyone," Coupe said in the statement.
