MacArthur Park, the song Carrie sang is metaphorical. It was originally done in 1968 as more of a ballad and then Donna Summer did it as a disco song. It's a metaphor for a lost relationship "Someone left my cake out in the rain. I don't think that I can take it, cuz it took so long to bake it, and I'll never have that recipe again... " You youngens are pretty critical of our 60's and 70's classics (also of our hair styles and clothing). I can't wait to hear what your kids say when they hear Drops of Jupiter 20 years from now and you'll be going "But that's a classic!". MacArthur Park was written around the time of Strawberry Fields and "Up Up and Away", which, if you don't know it, goes like this:
Up, Up and Away, in my beautiful, my beautiful balloon,
Would you like to fly in my beautiful balloon?
The world's a nicer place in my beautiful balloon
It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon
We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky
For we can fly we can fly
Okay? Lyrics weren't great then. Everybody was stoned and thought they were great. Lyrics sucked then. That's the way it was. The 70's dance music included such great selections as Disco Duck, Saturday Night Fever, The Atomic Dog and You Dropped the Bomb on Me. See what we had to live through???? It wasn't pretty then, it isn't pretty now, and they shouldn't force these talented American Idolians to do songs from that era AT ALL!

That's so funny that you mention that song. I actually heard it in a Dollar Store recently and went "What the hell?" Yes... I'm a "kid."
Topic? Haven't watched yet... but I guess that spoiler was pretty reliable. Damn. More eye candy gone.
And Scott "Pat the bunnies" Savol is still flippin' there!!!!
