I Can’t Stop the Rain

Tired of being bogged down in politics. Time for another silly list.

Top Five Favorite Rainy Day Songs

5. Bob Dylan “Buckets of Rain”
Got all them buckets coming out of my ears
4. Irma Thomas “It’s Raining”
Drip Drop Drip Drop… I guess I’ll just go crazy tonight
3. Buddy Holly “Raining in My Heart”
Oh misery, misery
2. Lou Reed “City Lights”
Charlie Chaplin’s cane, well it flicked away the rain
1. The Fall “I’m Going to Spain”
I think it’s time I saw the world ‘cause I hate the cold and rain and grey

So now you know.

In fact you did miss an excellent song about rain, but it would be churlish and self-serving of me to say which.

Ian’s totally talking about “Riders on the Storm.”

Runners-up include Holly Golightly “Rain Down Rain,” the Clientele “Monday’s Rain,” the Ronnettes “Walking in the Rain,” the Raincoats “Rain Storm” and the Pogues “Rain Street.” Let’s call these #s 6-10, and you can arrange them however you like.
