"Mac Arthur Park" not sure of the artist.

Just couldn't resist! :B)

Crazy story

A friend of mine, from pre-TWI days, heard this song when it first came out on the radio and decided he had to see MacArthur Park for himself. He stuck out his thumb in Cleveland. The very first ride took him all the way to L.A.

Indeed you're correct! The artist is Richard Harris, I'm not sure who wrote it.

Jimmy Webb wrote it,though you don't need the writer or artist to participate in this thread.

Here is more about the song.

I think, in light of the story I related, it's probably only fair to relinquish my turn.

"Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show" by Neil Diamond

(Technically, in this thread you're supposed to use the FIRST line of the song, unless it contains the title.)

I've been cheated, been mistreated...

George

Sorry about the first line thing. I'll remember that from now on. This one is "When will I be Loved?" by Linda Ronstadt.

How about..."Uh-how how how how...Uh-hmm hmm hmm hmm".

Is it LaGrange-----ZZ Top?

That's it Waysider! Very good! It's a good thing you got it on the first try because I can't understand any of the lyrics. Probably because it would not have been played on the air otherwise! Your turn Waysider.

The "Barack Hussein Obama" song? :lol:

George

That took a minute to sink in, pretty funny!
