Macarthur Park - Classic or Superstar?

Since my above post I've gotten Donna Summer's "On the Radio" best-of in the bargain bin, and my memory was correct. Real good voice. Silly song, but I enjoy it just the same.

awesome

"Dreamy Days" by Roots Manuva. Also referenced (if indirectly) on Wu-Tang's "Second Coming."

I am a hard-working college-educated Mexican American male, and you didn't mention MY category. You only see the bad, lazy people because that's all you want to see. Your racism feeds itself. I know many Latinos who live in YOUR area and surrounding ares who work hard, put the kids through college, and are an asset (see I can talk intelligently too-but you ignore it when we do that) to their community. Some of the "few" people you see going to work, who you also smeared, are just starting out , or students, and they can only afford to live in that area. YOU live in that area-does that mean that you are a lazy, fat, hotel worker? Are YOU too lazy to stay off the sidewalk? Your post slams LEGAL Mexicans-we have EVERY right to be here-I was born here, as were my parents, who started out in the Macarthur Park area.
It would be wrong if I said that all Native Americans were drunks who push gambling and avoid taxes-what you said is just as wrong. How dare you call your fellow human beings AN INFECTION. Do you know what a sociopath is?!? This Mexican does, and thinks YOU are one-look it up, you superior bitch! BTW if you take an illegal cab service, it's YOUR fault for not calling a real cab.
Your boyfriend probably looked at some Mexican girl because he's sick of your fat angry ass-THAT'S why you hate Mexicans.

early anti-Murdoch tirade obviously

The consequence of drinking warm wine being that you imagine that rivers flow through the sky.

Obviously, by my previous posts, I think it's one of the funniest songs recorded, and I love Jimmy Webb AND Donna Summer.

My girlfriend always thought it was a parody of something she knew nothing about. 'nuff said...

harris version, obviously.

Back in the acid daze, there was an unsubstantiated rumour/scare tactic (spread by some anti-drug MD or scientist or something) that a bunch of hippies had dropped some Yellow Sunshine and stared at the sun for hours, eventually blinding themselves! Maybe that was what Webb was referring to?

Elvis Costello's an obvious place to go for some London parks: Regent's Park ("London's Brilliant Parade" and Holland Park ("Hoover Factory") come to mind, though the latter is really talking about the tube station.

The song "In Gunnersbury Park" by the band The Hit Parade.

I wonder if there is a famous park in New York City, mentioned in any popular songs, ever.

how can i get my grubby paws on the World of Twists version of this??

just heard the donna summer version for the first time (as i was getting my hair cut)

wau awesome

Donna Summers rules and i just made a bar of rednecks listen to it

Did they actually show this, all 7 and half minutes, on Top of the Pops?!?? July 18th, 1968, apparently.
