So what's the deal with similie songs in musicals? There's "For Good" in Wicked, "Love Heals" in Rent... I'm sure there's more.
And they annoy me because they cover pretty much the same themes, and often the similies make only a little sense.

And now, MacArthur Park is melting in the dark! I don't think I can take it! Ooohhh nooo...
But there will be another song for me again!
</singing lyrics>
It's all your fault, too. About the melting thing.

That's not a song. Unless it's We Didn't Start the Fire, and I pretty sure it's not. It's not really metaphorical either.
What exactly is it?
