“This Guy’s in Love With You” is a guilty pleasure of mine. And I’m surprised you gave “MacArthur Park” an A+. I love it too, but many hate it.
That is one of those songs people either love or hate- MacArthur Park that is for sure.
Yet you give “Tiptoe Through the Tulips” an A?!
Most of these are familiar and many beloved. What a great time for music.
