Story behind the song
For years, Jimmy Webb has been coy when asked to explain “the cake left out in the rain” and the rest of the lyrics to his classic "MacArthur Park." Turns out it is just a song about an old girlfriend and a place where they used to have lunch, called MacArthur Park. The cake that was left out in the rain and all of the things that are talked about in the song are things he saw.
