That's 'cause you've never heard it played on theremin and accordion.
That's true. Just on Richard Harris' & Donna Summer's pipes.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I think you're supposed to use the words "the execrable" before mentioning "MacArthur Park".
Heh. I was just thinking that here they had the guy responsible for a good percentage of the most annoying earworms of all time trapped in a small booth, and nobody beat him to death with a shovel.

Still, I'd bet he'd be a lot more coherent of a conversationalist than Glen Campbell.

Yeah. Even his conversations are probably earworms.

Not so! Clem Snide were at Sundance a few weeks ago. I was just talking to Pete's wife (and Pee Wee Fist bass player) Anna who told me that they met Glen Campbell and he was regaling them with stories. I don't know what the stories were, but I'm told they were very entertaining. Really.

Which reminds me: I want to download something by them from EMusic. Where should I start?

Really? The last I heard of him was a story on his drug-addled insanity when he was arrested a couple of months ago. Maybe the brush with the law set ol' Glen on the straight & narrow.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Well, he's had quite a life. Including quite a career. I'm sure Pet Sounds alone could generate an hour or two.

FWIW my fave is Ghost of Fashion - but I've only heard one other.
I just got copies of the new Stereolab and the Cold Mountain soundtrack at the same time. I dunno which to listen to first. I can't tell what I'm in the mood for....dilemmas, dilemmas.
