I heard that on the radio this morning, RIP Noel - unfortunately, it's one song that I really dislike!

One of those definitive 1960s pieces of work

I always got this mixed up with "MacArthur Park" somehow. Singers had similar names I suppose.

I remember the song well, just checked on Wikipedia and didn't realise he was Rex Harrison's son. He was 79, makes me feel old too, mikey!

Actually saw Noel Harrison perform that song at a nightclub, and his dad Rex was there.

Boxy I saw the temperence seven at my school's jazz ball. They had been booked just before their hit, I think it was 'you're driving me crazy'
