Worst Record Ever
(A bit of a love/hate song really)
MacArthur Park.
Richard Harris.
(One for the old folks)
So, we have the combination of Jimmy Webb, a fine songwriter, with Richard Harris,possibly the finest actor of his generation.
And what do we get?
A pretentious, overblown, up its own rectum monstrosity of a love song.
"MacArthur Park is melting in the dark, all the sweet green icing melting down!"...eh?
"Someone left the cake out in the rain"...you what?
"I don't think that I can take it, 'cos it took so long to make it, and I'll never have that recipe again! Oh Noooooooo!"...oh get a grip man.
Its bollox. Utter, utter bollox.
