AI music video: MacArthur Park by Richard Harris 

This version sung by Richard Harris is the best.

Immortal song ❤️

This has been probably my most favorite version of McArthur's Park, and the original version as well as far as I know. Actors were always mad that they could not make a hit song while musicians could make hit movies. Richard Harris broke that mold with this song. The other version I like is by Donna Summer, I remember it being released while I was in High School. Recently I found out that Jimmy Webb the songs writer wrote about things he had seen while with his girlfriend in McArthur's Park, yes, it is a real place located in Los Angeles, California.

Jimmy Webb was only 22 when he composed all the songs in that A Tramp Shinning album, made the arrangements and supervised the instruments recording in L.A. before sending the tapes to Richard Harris, who was in the U.K., to provide his vocals. That's comparable to Orson Welles creating his Citizen Kane masterpiece at age 25. Incredible !!!

One of the best arrangements and songs of all-time.

This song belongs to Richard Harris! No one else should be allowed to sing it.

Jimmy Webb wrote this song about a woman he was in love with, and would take her to MacArthur Park in L.A.

So wonderful - things don't have to make sense

always listening to this

A sumptuous recipe for body mind and soul....

Great song

The pictures were a lot of fun to see even if they didn't match the "theme" of the song. Took a lot of work and creativity. Thanks so much for doing this! 😆

A young kid when this was a hit on the radio back in the day. AM only, no FM yet.lol

please, don't let this song stop. there is no equal.

I experienced this song. Only then you can understand it.

Jimmy Webb also wrote another musical masterpiece, ‘Wichita Lineman’. His songs have such a timeless quality and appeal that move the soul to depths that very few songwriters can reach.

Flip the 45 and enjoy Didn't We? Beautiful too

5:27 absolute classic ,the arrangement of the music ,a great voice , one of a kind , simply awesome , love it ❤❤❤❤

To fully understand the idioms on this song you must understand the early 1970s idioms. What is a striped pair of pants? A cotton dress the flows like waves. MacArthur park is a real place, it had some tables by the trees where people played chess. AI doesn't get it.

we used to play this in the 70’s even watched his movie a man called horse!

Brought this song when l was 15 played it and played it

great job, glad you are aware of LLM and doing these things man, respect

Jimmy Webb might be be the greatest song writer of all time.

I loved this mysterious song when I was young but as experienced love and life I realized I lived it.

Clássico inesquecível!!!! Ganhou uma versão da divina e saudosa Donna Summer no final dos anos 70.

Awesome lyrics❤

Pretty cool. The AI has some wild imagination but I supposed it's only envisioning just what each line means to it. This song is about the songwriter breaking up with his girlfriend and he's describing the images he's seeing as he walks through MacArthur Park in LA after the breakup.

one of the first long hits of jimmy webb

I remember this on AM radio back in the day, such a beautiful song.

My MacArthur Park: First love 1968 Camp Hill Pa.

AI is called "Artificial" for a reason. Thinks "MacArthur Park" is a song about baking cakes. Just goes to show computers can be as ignorant as their programmers.

Perfect. Exactly what I've been seeing in my head all these years.

Thank you....

AI has no soul and could never understand.

Inolvidable

Love this!

It's nearly impossible to define the brilliance of Jimmy Webb. His talent doesn't seem to have a ceiling.

Geniales divino

I AGREE SO GOOD

This is hilarious, like what might be created by a supersmart, ridiculously talented four-year-old. I'd like to see the video created by an AI that had the original lyrics along with an explanation of the symbolism.

The old men are playing CHESS.

Me hace recordar mi primaria 😃

Brilliant!! Perfect piece of music for AI imagery.

4:50 "The great break"

❤😊

"Old men playing checkers...." -- shows chess. :)

DEPUIS BIENTOT 55 ANS CETTE SUPERBE CHANSON ET SON UNIQUE INTERPRETRE ME HANTENT PLEASE QUI PEUT M.AIDER POUR LE TRANSLATE MERCI Béba

I am more familiar with the Donna Summers version. I still don't know what this song is about. Is it about an acid trip or some other drug experience? Does anyone know?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊

Jimmy Web wrote this, Brainiacs

Literal interpretations of symbolic lyrics are ridiculously hokey.

Always a great but, confusing song.

I love this recording. This video is idiotic.

🔵THEY COULD'VE USE A BETTER VIDEO WITH THIS SUPERB SONG INSTEAD OF THE AI WOKE VIDEO.🔴

Such profound lyrics. After all these years I still don’t get how this became such a standard. The music I have to agree is wonderful. Perhaps that’s the thing. Words are nothing. It’s about the music. Harris such a great actor. In Camelot, Murphy’s war, A Man for All Seasons, to his swan song in the Harry Potter series.

where in the lyrics does it say anything about big boobs?

Why is there a duck continuously quacking in this version and every other version that I listen to. So bloody annoying I have to turn it off.

yeah AI botched it

Great... But nonsense rhymes! Like American Pie, Bohemian Rhapsody, people looking for deep meanings...None!!! The artists will admit as much themselves!

The song is beautiful, the visuals are terrible.

Well whatever yawns , where’s my coffee!?

Stick to your day job! 😂🤔

.....Who Knew "AI" Is...Politically Correct.....Hmm...So Much for Imagination !
