"Bridge Over Troubled Water" Trivia

It’s a little known fact that, while recording of “El Condor Pasa,” Art Garfunkel lobbied long and hard to have the lyrics:

“I’d rather be a hammer than a nail
Yes, I would.”

Changed to:

“I’d rather be a hammer than a nail
No sh*t, Sherlock.”

Paul Simon nixed the suggestion following one of the duo’s many heated arguments.
