abstract
  • %22MacArthur Park%22 is a song which Jimmy Webb originally wrote and composed as part of an intended cantata. Webb initially brought the entire cantata to The Association, but the group rejected it. Richard Harris was the first to record the song, in 1968; it was subsequently covered and spoofed by numerous artists. Among the best-known covers are Donna Summer's disco arrangement from 1978 and Four Tops (1971).Although it was a commercially successful song multiple times after it was released, %22MacArthur Park%22 used flowery lyrics and metaphors (most famously, lost love being likened to a cake left out in the rain) that were considered by media such as the Los Angeles Times to be %22polarizing%22 and %22loopy.%22
