Does anyone here even know this song? I mean, you’ve heard of it, but ever heard it anywhere? This is probably the biggest hit of its era that no one who isn’t eligible for Social Security is completely unfamiliar with. Most other Boomer classics get heavy radio/TV/movie airplay!

Worth listening for the unintentionally hilarious lyric “Someone left the cake out in the rain, and I’ll never have that recipe again!” sung in completely stonefaced histrionic manner.
