Lie about Bacharach's intro produced for Arthur (5)
I believe the answer is:
table
'for arthur' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'lie about bacharach's intro' is the wordplay.
'lie' becomes 'tale' (I've seen this before).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'intro' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'bacharach' is 'b'.
'tale' placed around 'b' is 'TABLE'.
'produced' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for table that I've seen before include "Index" , "Submit for consideration" , "Board; data list" , "Set of figures in columns" , "Slab" .)
