Wikipedia – Darling Be Home Soon:
Darling Be Home Soon, a cover of a 1967 song by The Lovin’ Spoonful, written by John Sebastian, notably features Holder burping into the microphone. In 2000, he admitted on The Frank Skinner Show that the burp was accidental as the band had a lot to drink before performing. Holder also stated that from then on, he had to continue to do the burp whenever the song was performed otherwise the audience would be disappointed.
