Under the advisement of author Dave Barry, it's "MacArthur Park"...without a doubt!!

I remember they were on Midnight Special quite a lot. They always had them or the Carpenters or Paul Williams or some kind act for the older crowd. I was in my 20's when that show ran for about ten years, had everbody from Uriah Heep to Fleetwood Mac to Wishbone Ash, it was great. That was before Letterman after Carson, they would be on Friday nights. I didn't mind them because we didn't have to hear the co-host Helen Reddy sing, she was the worse "I Am Woman, Hear me Roar". Wolfman Jack was the other host, he was cool.

BTW, the original MacArthur Park was released by the actor Richard Harris. I remember him doing that on Ed Sullivan about 1963, I still love that song. If you haven't listened to the lyrics, you owe to yourself to do that.

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…

I was introduced to MP in a much cooler way, completely devoid of those odious lyrics.

My Old Man bought this album. Never listened to it but always had it sitting at the front of his collection....

Been listening to Yacht Rock all day in my office since I saw he had passed away. Sirius 311. Rupert Holmes, Christopher Cross et.al. RIP Captain.

Here's some weird shit about Daryl Dragon. Its already said he was a sideman in the Beach Boys. His father Carmen was an orchestra conductor in LA. This is the one that kills me: His younger brother Dennis Dragon was the lead in an 80s band called "The Surf Punks." Tenille was only hot if you were into that short hair, Mormon vibe, Dorothy Hammil ice skater look. She looks like she'd just lay there for missionary sex, but not much more. She had nice gams though.

Oh, and "Muskrat Love" makes me violent. Keep it far away from me.

**Rain Man** · 01-03-2019, 08:30 PM

It's good that he died peacefully, but in a way it's kind of a waste of a headline opportunity that he wasn't slain.

The surf punks, I got their album on vinyl somewhere

I was 13 when Muskrat Love came out. I hate to say it but the song kind of gives me a endorphin boost. I was making out with a this 16 year old chick and got my first blowjob to that song. That was a great summer.

Rat love ain’t to awful bad.

Compared to getting shot in the face with a flare pistol.

I had owned about a dozen 45's, mostly things like Thunderclap Newman Something in the Air. The ones I didn't want to buy the whole album for one song. This was the last 45 I ever bought, I have no idea why that song stuck in my head.
