Yes, I'm actually aware of it being MacArthur.  If you listen to the
original Harris recording though, he distinctly says MacArthur's.

It has been voted one of the worst songs of all time.  While I'll
admit to being more partial to "Bad Girl" Donna Summer's 1978 disco
version, Harris did an outstanding job with all of Webb's compositions.

Bad song or not, the simile is amazing!  Just imagine:  ...as we
followed in the dance between the parted pages and were pressed
in love's hot, fevered iron, like a striped pair of pants.

Yes, if Professor Dumbledore recited this to his students, they would
certainly think the old wizard daft.
