I haven't thought of Blind Mellon in years. That's a nice little visit to memory lane.
ReplyDeleteWe're wet, too, though I doubt as wet as you. I've never seen the river get so high, but only half a dozen families have been flooded so far.
Hey, I hope these songs aren't going to bring the rain down on me. We're having a clear spell after almost a week of rain.
ReplyDeleteYep, we've had lots of rain lately. I'll be watching the skies to see if your rain dance works. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the rainsongs as much as I love the rain!!sandy
ReplyDeleteGreat list, certainly one that reflects the thoughts of many! I hope your raindance does its thing!
ReplyDeleteI've never even heard of most of those!
ReplyDelete*hugs*

Nice choices! I know some and others are new to me. We're under more rainy skies here, too, and sick of it even if our flooding isn't so bad. Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteLove "No Rain" by Blind Melon. Great selection here.
ReplyDeleteHappy T13!
Now I'm going to have to go listen to just about all of those songs on a nice, sunny day. ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy TT!
I'm thinking of the nursery rhyme we sang as children that goes "rain rain go away....(children's names) want to play!
ReplyDeleteWe've had a lot of it here too.
I am glad to NOT be singing in the rain today, although it looks like there is some more in the forecast... Cool TT.
ReplyDeletetm
Love this. I started playing them as the rain here picked up steam this morning. My co-workers thought I was nuts. Maybe I am after all this rain. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy T13!
Those are some great songs! I think I'll be sharing a couple of them with my eight year olds. I don't think they've ever heard the proper version of "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head". :) (It's been raining here all week, too.)
ReplyDeleteI actually knew most of these! (for once!) And we've had three sunny days in a row here. Of course this weekend is going to rain.
ReplyDeleteOh great...now I won't be able to get Singing in the Rain out of my head :)....we're happy again...
ReplyDeleteHave a great Thursday!

Heh, nice collection of songs. Happy Thursday.
ReplyDeleteRain, rain, go away. Come again another couple weeks from now. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSupposed to rain here again tomorrow. Joy.
Alice: That was one of the first titles that came to mind when I started jotting them down. Glad you enjoyed the trip down Memory Lane. *g*
ReplyDeleteShelley: LOL - sorry! *weg*
Brenda: Yes, and it looks like we are in for thunderstorms over the weekend. Darn it, we wanted to go to the Farmer's Market Saturday!
Sandy: Thanks! I usually don't mind a good, hard rain, but we've had so much of it lately, and it's cold besides. I'm tired of cold and wind as much as I am rain.
ReplyDeleteAnita: Yes, I hope the "rain dance" works as well. *g*
Paige: Yay, we're making progress. Usually you don't know any of the songs I post. LOL
Darla: Doesn't it always seem like some areas get too much of something while others don't get enough? I'm sure people in the Southwest US would love some of this rain.
ReplyDeleteSkylar: That is a good one, isn't it? I've had that and Brandi Carlisle's "The Story" from your post alternating in my head the last couple hours now, lol.
Kimberly: ROFLMBO... Sorry! *WEG*
Colleen: And now I have Carole King's version of "Itsy Bitsy Spider" in my head. Yes, I know, the way my mind works amazes me sometimes, too. *g* Hope it dries out where you are soon, too.
ReplyDeleteTM: Though cloudy today, we are not supposed to see any rain. Supposed to be in the low 70s today, but without the sun it's sure taking its time getting there.
KS: Cool! I hope you enjoyed some of my selections. There were a lot more I could have listed!
Suzanna: Thanks, I hope your 8-yr-old likes some of these. I take it you've never seen Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid before? Good movie!
ReplyDeleteMaddy: I hope the ones you knew brought back good memories. We had rain yesterday morning, when I was compiling my list, but today and tomorrow are supposed to be dry before it hits again - and now it looks like rain Sat through Wed. Ugh!
Harriet: MWAHAHAHAHA... Looks like my work here is done. *g*
Allstarme: Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed them.
ReplyDeleteJana: LOL... I'm sure there are a lot of people thinking that, especially along rivers like the Mississippi.
When I was a kid, Rain Drops Keeps Falling On My Head was my favorite song.
ReplyDeleteIf you can't get the rain to stop, at least send it down to New Mexico--not all at once, but as a drought state, we can use it over the course of days to weeks. We got a small bit today, but not enough to relieve things. We'll take it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the songs, they take me back.
Happy TT,

13 (More) Distractions
Man, I'd forgotten about great songs like "Here Comes the Rain Again", "Singing in the Rain" and "Let It Rain". Never forgot about "Purple Rain", though. *turns it on right now*
ReplyDeleteJanice: I think a lot of learned that one in school music classes. *g*
ReplyDeleteXakara: Too bad we can't divert the Mississippi River over your way, huh? Here's hoping you get some of this rain soon!
Tatiana: Happy to refresh your memory. "Purple Rain" was another one of those I immediately thought of when compiling this.
