Anyone know if this is the origin of Rolf Harris's "Jake the Peg / With my extra Leg" ? --/Mat 04:39, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)

  • After looking at the lyrics, I would think not, unless it inspired him to choose the name, and that seems unlikely. The incident was not well known, even in the US, where it happened. Then again, since it's Rolf Harris, anything might be possible. Brian Rock 11:46, Apr 8, 2004 (UTC)
  • Heh, you have a point. Seemed a bit of a coincidence to me (Jake isn't the commonest single-syllable name) but then again coincidences happen. --/Mat 11:08, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)
