This is a reference that only us older folks will understand. The song was McArthur Park written by Jim Webb based upon his experience seeing the wedding of his ex-girlfriend. It was originally recorded by English actor Richard Harris who really wasn’t regarded as a singer previously but went on to have a successful recording career. It later, surprisingly, became a disco hit when recorded in a much faster paced version by Donna Summer. And, yes, as joegeethree remarked, the lyrics are cryptic in expressing the utter heartbreak Mr. Webb felt in losing the love of his life to another guy.
Of course Jurassic Park is melting, a meteor strike will do that. Once this guy comes out of his underground shelter, he will learn he was getting a news bulletin. Be very careful with your glasses fella !

The lyrics are a bit convoluted, but I like the beat. I’d give it an 85.

I remember that song. It was about a park they named for some old General.
