MacArthur Park
After drinking some Tequila today, I found myself singing MacArthur Park to Jennifer.
"MacArthur 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 I could take it, `cause it took so long to bake it,
And I'll never have that recipe again, oh no!"
She thought I was making up the lyrics. I was like..."oh no...I swear to god...that's a real song."
Ten years ago, Dave Barry said Richard Harris's original version of the song was "The Worst Song Ever Recorded". When I was 12, my dad used to blast Donna Summer's version on his home stereo in the den.
"My dad used to listen to it on his turntable when I was a kid...he turned it up real loud....it's called MacArthur Park."
She was like "What's a turntable?"
"It's what people used to play records on."
"What's a record?"
"OK. That's enough. Time for bed."

Yea drinking tequila makes you remember lyrics to old songs and things that don't make sense at times and remember old times and wish for wild times
