MacArthurs Park - The Mystery Of A Swan Song
I would encourage everyone to do their own research.Here are some key takeaways:
- Richard Harris just finished a role in Camelot and approached Webb to record the song MacArthurs Park.
- Glen Campbell did a cover too, among many, many others.
- The title of Harris album which include MacArthur Park is “A Tramp Shining”.
And finally, I couldn’t get the song out of my head, which lead me to look further. Actually it started with “Could it be Magic”.
What I noticed in all the versions sung (except for Summer’s) they all sound sad, desperate and final.
Chorus:
“MacArthur’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, no!
Oh, no!”
However, when Summer sings the chorus she’s giddy, laughing, excited. And thus I became excited TOO!

The recipe they forgot, “So Dear To My Heart”.
On amazon.com site for Richard Harris release called, The Webb Sessions: 1968-1969. One (customer) review for the album states:”… I wanted to share with everyone the meaning of the imagery behind the lyric about “someone left a cake out in the rain”. There is a Disney movie called “So Dear To My Heart”, which was kind of a period-piece of the early 1900′s, and was about a little boy and his pet, a black lamb who always gets into trouble. In the opening musical montage for this film, animated scenes are shown of old-timey things from that era, and a picnic scene is shown, with no people around, because it has started to rain. The cake that is set out with the picnic food has begun to melt in the rain, and it is kind of sad when you think about it, how long it took somebody to make that cake and now there it goes, all ruined, and that must have been what Jimmy Webb was thinking of in his subconscious mind at least, when he wrote that famous line in his masterpiece song, MacArthur’s Park. So thanks for letting me share that bit of trivia with all of you, rent the movie if you must see it to believe it yourselves.“
