Rain Rain Rain

Waking up to rainy morning always really makes me feel like ditching work, staying at home, and just vegging out. It's been raining for most of the day, which is fine with me. I've always considered perfect weather to have downcast skies and dark clouds with a slight drizzle.

Today's weather got me thinking: how many songs have been written about rain? I know there's been a lot. But off the bat, how many can you name? And who sang them?

While I was at work today, I made up a small list in my head of all rain songs I can remember. Let's take a look at it. By the way, this list is in no particular order.

1. Purple Rain by Prince
2. Blame It On The Rain by Milli Vanilli
3. Rhythm Of The Rain by The Cascades
4. Rain In The Summertime by The Alarm
5. November Rain by Guns n Roses
6. Crying In The Rain by A-Ha
7. Rain by Dragon
8. Have You Ever Seen The Rain? by Creedence Clearwater Revival
9. Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head by Burt Bacharach
10. Singing In The Rain by Gene Kelly
11. Kiss The Rain by Billie Myers
12. So. Central Rain by R.E.M.
13. After The Rain by Nelson
14. Rain by The Beatles
15. Rain On The Scarecrow by John Cougar Mellencamp

I guess that's it. Can't think of any more rain songs. I would have liked to say a little something about each song... but it already stopped raining outside. Yeah, it kinda ruined the mood.

But hey, there'll always be other rainy days. So until then...
