what about "The Pina Colada Song"
I was tired of my lady
We'd been together too long
Like a worn-out recording
Of a favorite song
So while she lay there sleeping
I read the paper in bed
And in the personal columns
There was this letter I read
"If you like Pina Coladas
And getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga
If you have half a brain
If you'd like making love at midnight
In the dunes on the Cape
Then I'm the love that you've looked for
Write to me and escape."
I didn't think about my lady
I know that sounds kind of mean
But me and my old lady
Have fallen into the same dull routine
So I wrote to the paper
Took out a personal ad
And though I'm nobody's poet
I thought it wasn't half bad
"Yes I like Pina Coladas
And getting caught in the rain
I'm not much into health food
I am into champagne
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon
And cut through all this red-tape
At a bar called O'Malley's
Where we'll plan our escape."
,
So I waited with high hopes
And she walked in the place
I knew her smile in an instant
I knew the curve of her face
It was my own lovely lady
And she said, "Oh it's you."
Then we laughed for a moment
And I said, "I never knew."
That you like Pina Coladas
Getting caught in the rain
And the feel of the ocean
And the taste of champagne
If you'd like making love at midnight
In the dunes of the Cape
You're the lady I've looked for
Come with me and escape
(repeat chorus twice and fade out)

MacArthur Park by Richard Harris. Achingly, laughably bad.
As we follow in the dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed
In love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants
MacArthur Park is melting in the rain
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
And I don't think I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipie agaaain
Oh, nooo!
Oh, no
No, no
Oh, Noooooo!!!
Kinda brings tears to your eyes doesn't it. From laughing so hard. Absolutely criminal stuff. How the man didn't do time for this I'll never know.

Red light, green light
Speedin' trough the dark night
Drivin' trough the poundin' rain
I gotta see Jane
Windshield, wiper splashin', splashin'
Callin' out her name
Just gotta see Jane.
"Gotta See Jane" - R. Dean Tayor & others...
...and...
"She met him on a night so rare
when her friends were there
and the band was groovin."
"Go Go Round" - Gord Lightfoot.

Still, wiping away tears, Astrix!! What's with that cake reference anyway?Asterix said:
While we're on food . . . there's that famous canabal song, and also Lola about the guy who picked up the girl who was really a guy . . .
. . . shudder to think about them!!

Metallica- Enter Sandman
Besides the goofiness of Metallica using references to Peter Pan and boogiemen, when it's playing on the radio I always like to add in the obvious finish to the chorus:
"We're off to Never-never land
With Tinker-bell and Peter Pan "
Say your prayers little one
Don’t forget, my son
To include everyone
Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land
Something’s wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren’t of snow white
Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon’s fire
And of things that will bite
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land
Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Pray the lord my soul to take
Hush little baby, don’t say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It’s just the beast under your bed,
In your closet, in your head
Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We’re off to never never land

Presidents of The Usa
I’m movin’ to the country I’m gonna eat a lot of peaches
Movin’ to the country I’m gonna eat a lot of peaches
Peaches come from a can they were put there by a man
In a factory downtown
If I had my little way I’d eat peaches everyday
Sun soakin bulges in the shade
Movin’ to the country I’m gonna eat a lot of peaches
Movin’ to the country I’m gonna eat a lot of peaches
I’m movin to the country gonna eat a lot of peaches
Movin’ to the country gonna eat a lot of peaches
I took a little nap where the roots all twist
Squished a rotten peach in my fist
And dreamed about you woman
I poked my finger down inside makin’ a little room for a ant to hide
Nature’s candy in my hand or can or a pie
Millions of peaches peaches for me
Millions of peaches peaches for free
Millions of peaches peaches for me
Millions of peaches peaches for free
Look out

Lola is a G R E A T song. Catchy as hell and the lyrics have a wonderful twist.
There was an interesting article in Sunday's Toronto Sun where the columunist skewered the lyrics for Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas" and castigated those that participated in the remake as nothing more than a photo op.

That new Snoop Dog song. Farking pathetic. Really, I can't believe people are buying that crap. He's just living on the fumes of his chronic album...
Hall & Oates - Family Man
[K. Cross/R. Fenn/M. Frye/M. Oldfield/M. Pert/M. Reilly]
She had sulky smile
She took her standard pose as she presented herself
She had sultry eyes, she made it perfectly plain that she was his
For a price
But he said leave me alone, I’m a family man
And my bark is much worse than my bite
He said leave me alone, I’m a family man
But if you push me too far I just might
She wore hurt surprise as she rechecked her make-up to protect herself
Dropped her price and pride she made it totally clear that she was his
For a night
She gave him her look, it would have worked on any other man around
He looked her up and down, she knew he couldn’t decide if he should
Hold his ground
She turned, tossed her head unlike her opening move, her final exit line
He waited much too long but by the time he got his courage up she was gone
Then he screamed leave me alone, I’m a family man
And my bark is much worse than my bite
He said leave me alone, I’m a family man
But if you push me too far, I just might

The cake in MacArthur Park is a metaphor for love or something you hold dear to your heart. The whole analogy of the paragraph is that you lost something dear through carelessness and things cannot be the same again.
Bad metaphor nonetheless.
