Whenever I hear a reference to the song, or hear it played, it reminds me of college band days. We all hated the song, but our band leader insisted on playing it at every game. We finally decided that it was on the radio the first time he had sex, and it was a fond memory for him.
I still hate it to this day for that reason.
Now, Chuck Mangione's "Bellavia", that's a different story. A modern day version of "Bolero", if you saw the movie!
I liked “MacArthur Park” when it came out for two reasons: Douglas MacArthur was one of my greatest heroes and the song was about Los Angeles.
