I'll be the xylophone...

.

The lyrics, in part, of the Foundation's song "Build me up Buttercup" go:

(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time and I'll make you mine
(Hey, hey, hey!) I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo

But, no matter how often I listen to it, I am sure they are saying:

I'll be the xylophone waiting for you


Ooo-oo-ooo-dear.

  5. I spent years thinking there was a group called Steel Ice Band, as my radio had clearly and repeatedly told me. When I saw them on TV, they had changed their name to Steeleye Span.
