Oh My God! That Is The Most Terrible Song I've Ever Had The Misfortune Of Hearing!

Walter Egan
"Magnet & Steel"



Seriously folks, it's pretty damn bad.

So check it: speaking of crazy songs -- there's this song called MacArthur Park, awesome melody but the lyrics... It's about cake; it's supposed to be a metaphor but all I'm getting is cake so, metaphor-fail. Cake which is melting in a park with a little love mixed in. So yeah, I'm listening to it right now because I wanted to and well, I needed a little mind rinse after the Walter Egan's OMGWTF. And so as I listen it occurs to me that everyone, and I mean everyone from the songwriter to the producer on down, must have been seriously stoned during the making and recording of this song. A cake recipe... yeah, really stoned. Sh*t like this only makes sense when you're stoned.
