Someone left the cake out in the rain

:music:Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, nooooo:music:

:laugh:

I love this song. it's so funny 🙂

Donna Summer - 1978

MacArthur Park

Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed
In love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground around your knees
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing checkers by the trees

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

[break]

There will be another song for me
For I will sing it
There will be another dream for me
Someone will bring it
I will drink the wine while it is warm
And never let you catch me looking at the sun
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
You'll still be the one

I will take my life into my hands and I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
And my passion flow like rivers through the sky
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
I'll be thinking of you
And wondering why

[extended break]

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
Oh, no
No, no
Oh no!!

Someone left a cake out in the rain
OH NO!
I was gonna eat that cake, but now it's all wet and I don't want any.

The Weird Al parody is pretty good... has an interesting claymation video that goes with it.

Donna Summer did not sing MacArthur Park. At least not as the original singer. Actor Richard Harris made the odd song famous.

Gotta love Jimmy Webb - one of the best pop songwriters of the Sixties, and the stupidest song he ever wrote made more money than all the rest of them put together. If you're going to fail, that's the way to do it.

True but most folks are familar with the re-visit ten years later. Getting back to 1978 is quite a strain for ATOT as it is! 😉
