Anyone for a chorus of “MacArthur Park”? Or how about “Muskrat Love”?

The bear went over the mountain, the bear went over the mountain, the bear went over the mountain, to see what he could see!

Oh what a tangled web we weave when we practice to decieve!  
Nice try Handy, but I got rid of that one. Thank you  
Delta-9!

Damn it, caircair!

Yes, I’ll take Muskrat love for a thousand Alex.  
And the answer is…What is the song that is now stuck in Krickets’ head.

“Sitting on a park bench  
Eyeing little girls…”

with bad intent  
Snot is running down his nose  
greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes  
Hey Aqualung  
Sun streaking cold  
An old man wandering lonely  
Taking time the only way he knows  
Leg hurting bad  
He bends to pick a dog-end  
He goes down to the bog and warms his feet.  
Feeling alone  
The army’s up the road  
Salvation a la mode  
And a cup of tea  
Aqualung my friend  
Don’t you start away uneasy  
You poor old sod  
You see it’s only me…  
Do you still remember  
December’s foggy freeze  
With the ice that clings onto your beard  
Your screaming agony  
And you snatch your rattling last breaths  
With deep sea-di’er sounds  
And the flowers bloom like madness in the spring…

I’ll keep this one, thanks.
