The Burning Alchemist

A recent conversation triggered a memory of a lyric from a song that dove me a bit crazy because I could manage to remember most of that single line of the song, and I was pretty sure of who sang it, what movie it was in and part of the character's name, but not the song title or the rest of the lyrics.  It was a memory that I knew was there but was tantalizingly out of reach.  So like any good geek, I Googled it and resolve the problem.

It was "Fixing a Hole" sung by George Burns as Mr. Kite in the 1978 movie production of Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.  Critically panned and a financial flop, it's still a good cult classic, and one that I thought that I'd share.
