Flanders and Swann connection?

The phrase "I found my horn" seems likely to be taken from a version of Flanders and Swann's Ill Wind, a song about playing the French Horn (until it is stolen), set to the tune of the third movement of Mozart's 4th Horn Concerto. The following lines appear in the song:

I've lost that horn. I know I was using it yesterday.

I've lost that horn, lost that horn, found that horn gone!

This can sometimes be found with the variant "I've lost my horn... found my horn gone." Koro Neil (talk) 12:14, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, undoubtedly. Note that the American title is "A Devil to Play", a phrase which is likewise found in "Ill Wind". DS (talk) 18:19, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
