You know - "someone left the cake out in the rain...etc". Well, the lyrics in the chorus are supposed to allude to something too rude to explain on TV. Does anyone know what? I can't figure it out.

I watched something on TV with people talking about it, and nobody would explain what it meant - someone said that they couldn't on TV. I assumed this meant it was filthy??!!

Just sheer nonsense which is the delight of the song sounding so dramatic. Just a piss-take, I'm afaraid!

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
Oh, no
No, no
Despite the rather poetic homage paid to it, the real MacArthur Park became known for being a violent place after 1985 when drug deals, shoot-outs and occasional drownings became somewhat common there. Before the decline of the neighborhood, the park featured the traditional paddle-boats and a large fountain in the center of the lake; the park was a popular middle-class destination for over fifty years. The park has been cleaned up and gentrification is occurring all around the surrounding area of Downtown Los Angeles.

I always wondered what the song was about then someone told me a while ago that he read that the song was to do with a lost relationship.
The cake left in the rain meaning neglecting the loved one.
Taking so long to bake it meaning working so hard to build up the realtionship to begin with.
Never finding that receipe again meaning they'll never find someone like that again.

The cake is a metaphor for a relationship.
