A long hated by freepers tune.
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!
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
Oh after all the loves in my life
I’ll be thinking of you
And wondering why
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!
“I Did It My Way” comes in second.
What about this version?

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!
Is he the one who sings like he’s having a valsalva maneuver?
Summertime Blues?
Memories of dancing in bikinis at the beach snack shacks to that and all the beach boys tunes...
Good times

Which just goes to show how bad taste can be an international phenomenon.
“You forgot ‘Generation Jones’ (1954-1965)”
Great, another generation to be added to the list. Thanks.
I love the story to that song.
It wasn’t that snappy a tune
Song by Brian Hyland, 1960.
Badly.
Got a porn letter from a local engineer who most my friends knew.
Who is that?
Pina Colata Song
Hungry Heart
Any one of them will result in a small sonic boom as my fingers fly for the dial.
I know six of these and agree with five. I kind of like Macarena and Andre Rieu had it performed on his stage.
First song that popped into my head.
Holeee crap. I served under Reagan too... great time to be uniform, eh?
What kinda unit required a daily 10K run with a heavy-ass M14 and helmet? Rangers?
