| | | | How many versions do we need? of MP
Sign in to disble this ad
My daughter is named after one of my favorite songs of all time, and actually my wife and I were listening to it the night we met, and I joked "if I ever have a little girl, I'd love to name her __________". 11 years later we had her and we didn't even discuss girl names during her pregnancy.
I have since collected 7 versions of the song (still searching) that I plan to give her on her 18th birthday (15 years to go)
So for Father's Day, I decided to do the same with my Dad's all-time favorite song "MacArthur Park"....I found 51 versions!
Fifty One!!!!!
I made him a card that read "it's not a cake, it's a relationship" and it is now the only CD in his vehicle.
Mom is P.O.'d at me bigtime!, I love the Donna Summers version, but let me tell you there are a ton of simply crappy versions of MP. And Dad was offended when I read him the line from "How the Fender Bass changed the world" that read:
*Joe (Osborn) also has the dubious distinction of having played his Hagstrom 8 String Bass on Richard Harris's overblown version of MP.*
So...what's your fav version?....(if there even is one). I hate to admit it, but with all the research I had to do for this project, I'm almost an expert on this composition now.
ps...any guesses as to my daughter's name? |
