In 3.13 The Zeppo:
Jack: “You wanna be startin’ somethin’?”
Xander’s: “What? Starting something? Like that Michael Jackson song, right? That was a lot of fun. ‘Too high to get over, yeah, yeah…’ Remember that fun song?”
They’re referring to Michael Jackson’s song ‘Wanna Be Starting Something’.
Oz sings the song “Ben” by Michael Jackson in 2.16 Bewitched, Bothered And Bewildered when he’s trying to find Buffy, who has been turned into a rat. The song was used as the title song for the 1972 movie Ben about a boy who befriends a rat.

I always love little, subtle references like this, it is stuff like Oz singing “Ben” that makes the show awesome. Plus, it was very appropriate to watch this episode today!

At what point did Oz sing “Ben”? I don’t remember that part. He isn’t singing when he goes down the stairs to find Buffy.
