Hmm..now that I think about it...Johnny Rivers, I believe, originated "Secret Agent Man." But didn't The Guess Who do a cover of that song? And The Guess Who had their tribute song to Gordon Lightfoot? Could this be the connection, Gwen? Also Burton Cummings - lead singer of TGW - had a solo career and did a parody of GL singing Maggie May in which he sounded almost like a dead ringer for Gord. Again, could this be what you're thinking of? I don't know if Cummings ever did Secret Agent Man solo, or any other espionage-like song...but possible.
