#16. I nominate MacArthur Park by Richard Harris as the worst rock/pop song of all time.

If he sang that song in a real park, all the birds and squirrels would have died, esp. by suicide. The grass would have turned brown and burnt up, and the trees would have become tooth-picks just to get away from that song.

Can’t Live Without You, Harry Nilsson. <—This one is the national suicide anthem.

But what about The Cake?
Would someone really have left it out, and in the rain?

Yep!

I hate that song! Sounds horrible, never mind the stupidity in the “story”! I mean, he really sounds like he’s making fun of a song with the poor singing dramatics - but it’s serious!

I didn’t remember Donna Summer doing a version - I was devastated to find that out! But at least in disco arrangement it’s much more palatable, and she sings better.
