This will date me, but when this song came out, my girlfriend broke up with me, for no apparent reason. She was the love of my life, and I couldn't understand why she broke up with me. I asked her, and all she could say was "Listen to Macarthur Park, that will explain everything". I must have listened to that song a hundred times, and still couldn't understand. Here it is, 40 years later, and I STILL don't know why she broke up with me. Can anyone explain why, in the context of this song, she broke up with me?? We were young, still in high school, she in a Catholic School and me in a Public School, and she went into the Air Force and I never heard from her again. I still think of her often. Chris, if you are reading this, will you FINALLY explain this to me?!?!?!
bulldog14224 - bit late and I hope you see this but I was that girl! nope now seriously … I think the song lyric says that the guy tried TOO hard. The hilariously written lines "I don't think that I can take it, cause it took so long to bake it" - I mean if you have to put that much effort in then maybe there's a problem right? And he chose GREEN for the icing for christs sake. Speaks volumes. Must be what she meant ;-)

@bulldog14224 Her taste in music sucked, and you dodged a bullet. But, I'm going to start using "Listen to XXX song" as an excuse to justify all my actions...

Listen to "Play That Funky Music, White Boy," and it will explain everything.
