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 that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh, no!

While certainly not a classic, I don't have the problem with MacArthur park others appear to have. Perhaps I can relate to story that might help.

There was a class (I don't recall if it was philosophy or psychology) that decided to analyze the lyrics and came up with a big long explanation of all of the deep meanings of the song. They wrote the songwriter and asked how close they were and he mocked them because there WAS no meaning to the lyrics. He wrote that the words just fit together. Anytime self important professors get put in their place in front of their classes it's a good day.

Stop mocking me. (you read my profile, didn't you?)

I have always suspected that song lyrics and books were usually just stories meant to make money.
