Richard Harris' version of Macarthur Park is the worst song in the world. Sammy Davis Jnr's version is the best song in the world! Unbeleivable orchestration, and most beautiful lament...

Thgank you for sharing this great version of MacArthur Park, Sammy Davis was superlative performer and this is a nice cover. I must beg to differ in your opinion that Richard Harris' version is the worst song ever. (or even version, if that's what you meant)

@mythtree :) well its only a joke really about Richard Harris, I think it was voted on a British TV program to be the worst single ever lol thats just what I've heard.

Richard Harris Original version is the best underrated on the late 60's it became famous on the 70's still can be heared on the 80's 90's 2000 and now 2011 today it was rated as one of the super best undisputed so you young people whom your parents was not yet born on that years when i was already on the band shut your mouth, all others singer who sung this song are most well established famous singers, but still Richard Harris is the best no doubt about that buy all the records and compare

Both versions are superb...Obviously the analogy of cake and baking is meant to refer to a relationship with a woman, a love that is unequaled , i.e. A cake whose recipe is unique (never be forgotten). The quote of 'there will be another song for me'..refers to lessons learned for future loves. For Sammy his ties/marriages with May Britt and Kim Novak (both white),,,were shutdown by the Industry Moguls from enduring..& for Richard..his Drinking, cheating, & wildness caused his '69 divorce.

Richard's version is hard to beat imo. Sammy does a terrific job as well.

[jmghondo]

how do you call an original a version? isn't richard harris the original so he is not the " version" as you would like to call it. it would have been better if you said "interpretation". of the song.

I like AL Yankovic's version the best
