"All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!"

Which then makes me think of the Weird Al version.

"Jurassic Park
is scary
in the dark."

Frightening

...all the dinosaurs are running wild!
Someone shut the fence off in the rain
I admit it's kinda eerie,
but this proves my chaos theory
and I don't think I'll be coming back again, oh noooo!


I love the Weird Al version. I don't understand the Donna Summers "MacArthur Park" version. Why was the cake in the rain?

It's a running joke that the song doesn't make any sense. I'm more familiar with the Richard Harris version, but yeah.

according to an interview with the songwriter - because there *was* a cake left out in the rain at the park in question

I don't watch Adventure Time, so I'm not really familiar with the relationship, but I honestly can't imagine how MacArthur Park could fit it. Could you elabourate?

Well the two characters had a falling out in canon that Marceline was really upset about and shippers think it was a bad break-up. And this version of the song is much more over-dramatic and bombastic then the original song which was more of a ballad, which fits with Marceline's personality a bit better. Also the cake and icing metaphors works well with Princess Bubblegum who is made out of sugar and runs a candy kingdom.

Text: There was a Bubbline fanmix with this song in it and I found it so perfect for the ship and now I can’t help but headcanon that if Marceline grew up as a human, she would’ve looked like a punk rock version of Donna Summer.
