How about “Feels Like Rain” and the great “Louisiana 1927″ by Aaron Neville (the latter being a Randy Newman composition about the great flood of that year)?

“Ocean Rain” – Echo and the Bunnymen.

I’ll stop now. Though I will try to listen to your show if I’m at a computer. I’d forgotten.

Okay, how’s this for weird coincidence? As I’m reading this post, up pops Tom Petty’s “Louisiana Rain” at random on my iTunes.

So, just to continue the list of songs with “rain” in the title, here are a few more:

“Rain” – The Beatles
“Shadows in the Rain” – The Police
“Come Rain or Come Shine” – Billie Holiday
“Only Happy When It Rains” – Garbage
“Summer Rain” – U2

Oops, that should be Bob Dylan, not Eric Clapton, for “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35.”

How about “Rainy Night In Georgia” by Brook Benton and just plain “Rain” by the Beatles?

(And no record can ever suck more than Terry Jacks’ “Seasons in the Sun.” It’s the champion Hoover of singles!)

I’ve got “Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again” on the laptop, too. Somehow I missed it yesterday.

“I Love a Rainy Night”—there’s a record that sucks. Would be the worst record ever to hit Number One on the singles chart were it not for “My Ding-a-Ling” and “Rock Me Amadeus.”
