\ufffdAnyone who covers MacArthur Park is OK in my book. It takes real chutzpah to do that song!
Aside from the weird lyrics, it's a great piece of music.
Story has it when Jimmy Webb wrote MacArthur Park no one would record it (The Association turned it down). So they found Richard Harris (a non-singing actor) to record it. The rest is history...
RH cannot remember a thing about recording it. Hardly a surprise.
