    Slight thing, Campbell didn't write Withita Lineman, but it was written for him.

    Fun fact, Jimmy Webb, who wrote it, hated the "And I need you more than want you / And I want you for all time" line and begged the producers to change it when that plus the ambiguity of the key its in are arguably what make the song.
