My kids were hovering around the thawing ice cream cake...So I sang MacArthur park

Badly-is there any other way???

Oh noooooooessss....as high as I could strain it...

It's a dang good cake after all & I believe kids should endure a little for a reward...

AND IF ANYONE IS OBLIVIOUS TO WHAT A TRULY BAD HORRIBLE MONUMETALLY SAPPY SONG THIS IS...

Oops-had cap locks on but I'm leaving it as fair warning-this will hurt your brain.

And my kids are getting what I like to call- a well rounded education.

My son, now about to go off to college, earned a couple of points of extra credit during jr. high and high school for three "old" music trivia questions to which he knew the answers. I think it has something to do with his familiarity with "old" music since he has parents the same age as many of his classmates' grand parents!

It is one of my all-time favorite songs.
Especially the instrumental part-- the quintessential late '60s sound!
