Fakin' It

BH672 · 02-14-2007, 09:43 PM

This may be perhaps the oddest request for help with a song ever made!

On Simon and Garfunkel's Bookends album is a song named Fakin' It. At one point in the song, a door opens, a bell rings, and a woman asks, with a delightful British accent, "Good morning, Mr. Leitch, have you had a busy day?" Does anybody know anything about this? I've spent years wondering who spoke these words, and where this line came from.

Thanks, BH

Okay left field effort here. Leitch. I wonder if it was a shot at Donovan (Leitch)? Or maybe just a friendly nod or something.

Time for some wild thinking here people!
