And surely no-one can have forgotten the best waiting song ever, Lou Reed's Waiting for the Man:
 
Waiting For The Man 
 
I'm waiting for my man, 26 Dollars in my handUp to Lexington 125Feel sick and dirty, more dead than aliveI'm waiting for my manHey white boy, what you doing uptown
Hey white boy, you chasing our women around ?

Oh, pardon me, Sir, it's furthest from my mindI'm just lookin' for a dear, dear friend of mineI'm waiting for my manHere he comes, he's all dressed in blackP.R. shoes and and big straw hatHe's never early, he's always lateFirst thing you learn is that you always gotta waitI'm waiting for my manUp to a Brownstone, up three flights of stairsEverybody's pinned you, but nobody caresHe's got the works, gives you sweet tasteThen you gotta splitBecause you've got no time to waste, ahI'm waiting for my manBaby, don't you hollerDarling don't you bawl and shoutI'm feeling so goodI'm gonna work it all outI'm feeling good, I'm feeling oh so fineUntil tomorrow, but that's just some other timeI'm waiting for my man
