" MacArthur 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!"
Considering the prevalence of the internet today and how a quick Google search would most likely turn up this recipe in seconds, the source of angst has been eliminated, so I doubt that this song would be written today.
This, and others like it, is an example of a question that wakes me at night and keeps me from falling back to sleep.
