Mikealan, you've seen at "The Museum of Television and Radio" Sherlock
Hemlock singing, "X Marks the Spot", right?! Well do you know what actually happened during that song?

All I know is that at the end when Sherlock sings:"X stands for xylophone too", he stopped at some brick building that was labeled XYLOPHONE!! :zany:

Egad! Sherlock Hemlock here, the worlds greatest detective.
And I believe the letter following "W" is...

"X" marks the spot.
"X" marks the crossroads.
Two straight lines crossing
Over in the middle.
That's the letter you must see to
Find the treasure or the clue,
Or the X-ray machine that's
Looking right inside of you.
"X" is the letter without which
One could not do.

"X" marks the spot.
"X" stands for danger.
Two straight lines crossing
Over in the middle
Saying "Here's the railroad crossing"
And sometimes it means there's pirates
Or at worse, it means there's poison
And in case these thoughts of "X"
Are vexing you
"X" stands for "xylophone," too

Thanks, JaniceFerSure. :flirt:

But I wanted to know what happened during the song.

You know the scenery and stuff, and as Sherlock was singing what was he passing by.

I think at the begining of the song he was standing behind a tall lampost or so.

I haven't seen it in 20 something years, but I believe he was walking around in what I remember as a dark alley. The lamp post sounds familiar as well.
