I came into the studio, and Ian was messing around at the pianoforte. He had a melody, and I just started singing: "Been around the globe and I, I, I…" Everyone laughed just Ian said, "Wait, it'south really expert, that." It simply came into my head – it was nonsense, but had a really skilful experience to it. "I, I, I" became the principal hook. Nosotros'd no idea how massive information technology would become.
