There are a few threads on the forum about misheard lyrics. The above is a possible rendering of the line from "Orabidoo". Other possibilities are that the piece was a nod to Frank Sinatra ("Do bee do bee do"), that it was simply a nonsense word to fit a quite appealing melody, or - finally - that it was Mike Oldfield's reaction to anticipation of its lack of radio airplay. "Orabidoo", after all, unscrambles to "Boo - radio"  :laugh:

"Don't play the game like that... I think someone else will meet you on the streets..."

That's what I always heard in that movie quote halfway through the song ;)
