Me too - I was on the Stairmaster the other day and it came on my Ipod - I was singing and dancing while climbing. Donna Summer is brilliant.

On edit - at least six sites say it is MacArthur's Park - I must have transcribed it wrong. Oh well, blame it on the hangover

No worries. As much **** as this song gets for worst song ever. I love it. Donna tears it up and I also have it my iPod and always on one of my workout playlists.

Here's the full lyrics from popculturemadness.com:

MacArthur Park

Written by: Jimmy Webb
Sung by: Richard Harris or Donna Summer, equally silly.

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 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 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!

[break]

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
After all the loves of my life
I'll be thinking of you
And wondering why

[break]

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!
Oh, no
No, no
Oh no!!

OMG. That is totally what I thought when I read the first line. God knows, when you go out you need another John Wayne type with you for security.

LOL that whole cake out in the rain lyric left people wondering. There is actually a discussion group on it on the web

Here it is http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=1875&

and here is the site where I got Mac Arthur's Park http://www.lyriczz.com/lyriczz.php?songid=8287 which says the actual and complete lyrics from that site are:

Donna Summer
MacArthur Park

Spring was never waiting for us till
it ran one step ahead
as we followed in the dance.

Between the parted pages
we were pressed,
in love's hot, fevered iron
like a striped pair of pants.

Mac Arthur'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, nooo!

I recall the yellow cotton dress
foaming like a wave
on the ground beneath your knees
birds like tender babies in your hands
and the old men playing
Chinese checkers
by the trees

Mac Arthur Park's 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, nooo!

There'll be another song for me
and I will sing it
there'll be another dream for me
someone will bring it
I will drink the wine while it is warn
and never let you catch me
looking at the sun, oh yeah
and after all the loves of my life
after all loves in my life
you'll 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
oh and after all the loves in my life
after all the loves in my life
you'll still be the one
and I'll ask myself why.

Mac Arthur'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, nooo!

No worries...I love silliness. The plural for park is park. And when I hear the song I don't hear the MacArthur Parks, I hear MacArthur Park.

But whatever makes you happy, ya know! We can sing however we want, damn it. Actually until I posted the song lyrics, I never knew what the hell she was singing in most of the verses.

Oh I know - the original Park's was my error - it should have been Park.

But, now there is discrepancy in the one you posted "MacArthur" and mine, the possessive, "MacArthur's" -- she sings the latter possessive in the song.

Then one site takes it further and separates "Mac Arthur's" instead of "MacArthur's."

It is all just so confusing, yet beguiling

Also, she sing the FU*K out of that song.

Guilty-as-charged blogger. I've got like 4 of them now - as I get bored with one, I move onto the other. The one I had on http://www.diaryland.com was mainly because it was "trendy" among my friends, and I ended up writing in that one for just over 2 years before I moved onto LiveJournal. Now I have a couple more that I never write in, like the blog that came with my Myspace.

I am John Wayne with a 95% tough standing

I love that song.

I blog. Not as frequently as I should, but I do keep it fairly updated. I actually care not one wit who reads it, but I am happy when people do. I use it to keep my writing sharp. I write book reviews twice a month, and I just need to stay in shape. I hope to branch out someday.
Most people would just write without publishing it on the web, but like Stevie The Mad Songwriter Nicks, I have to give it to the world, even if few people actually respond...
