Well I didn't know that Santo and Johnny were the original composers of this old classic, I thought it was the Shadows lol but anyway, I love the tune and I love it even more when it was redone by Joe Satriani.

With the famous "Cake out in the rain," this is one of the more lyrically intriguing songs ever recorded. Jimmy Webb, who wrote the song, explained in Q magazine: "It's clearly about a love affair ending and the person singing it is using the cake in the rain as a metaphor for that. Ok, it may be far out there and a bit incomprehensible, but I wrote the song at a time in the 1960s when surrealistic lyrics were the order of the day." The love affair Webb speaks of was with Susan Ronstadt, Linda Ronstadt's cousin. Said Webb (in the Los Angeles Times), "MacArthur Park was where we met for lunch and paddleboat rides and feeding the ducks. She worked across the street at a life insurance company. Those Lyrics were all very real to me: there was nothing psychedelic about it to me. The cake was an available object. It was what I saw in the park at the birthday parties, but people have very strong reactions to the song. There's been a lot of intellectual venom."
