Well GoYs, rain has stopped play today with some of the heaviest rain I’ve ever seen. we did get a lovely thunderstorm in Perth tho! I love them!
So if you’re stuck inside, for whatever reason, here’s a little challenge for you:
Weather Songs!
To start with I have :
4 seasons in one day by Crowded House-. didn’t know they’d been to Scotland!
It’s Raining Men- by The Weather Girls, not toxic spice!
I Feel Thunder In My Heart – Leo sayer
Raining In My Heart- Buddy Holly
I Wish It Would Rain- Phil Collins
Rythm of the Rain- cant remember!
Rainy Days & Mondays-The Carpenters
Here Comes The Sun- Beatles
I’ll Follow The Sun- Beatles
I’m going to sneak in Mr. Moonlight too-Beatles.
So what can you GoYs come up with??
OVER TO YOU!!!

Somewhere in the dark recesses of my brain (not been in there for a l-o-n-g time), wasn't there something called "Play Misty For Me"?
12 Aug, 2009
seasons in the sun was Terry jacks ,i think
12 Aug, 2009
Andrew, it was a film title. It starred Clint Eastwood as a dj who had a crazy fan, who always wanted him to play "Misty" ! Great film!
Now THERE's an idea............! Ta!
Yes Indy, it was Terry Jacks!
12 Aug, 2009
Doh!
12 Aug, 2009
It's one of those ones that trick you!
12 Aug, 2009
Some more for you!
"Stormy Weather" - various artistes, from Ethel Waters (what an apt name!) in 1933 to jeff Lynne (ELO - one of my fave bands) 1990. Got pics of the Peace Pole today, and saw some fab plants, but got thoroughly drenched in the process, lol. Drove home with the heater blasting to try to dry out, but only resulted in "Steamy Windows" (Tina Turner). But, coming up-to-date, on the way home, the radio played 2 apt tracks - "Can't Stop the Rain" (Cascada), and James Morrison's "Please don't stop the Rain".
AaaachOOOOOOOO! Am dried out, now. :-)
12 Aug, 2009
I LOVE Stormy Weather! I've heard so many versions of it too!
Great, thanks for getting the pics, :~))))))))
& sorry you got drenched! :~((
12 Aug, 2009
Okay Bb I concede the point that the weather angle on Telstar was the groups name Tornado's ... duh! sorry :o)))) But big yellow taxi is a very sunny title hmmmm?
Now here is one I remeber from Radio Caroline days, you youngsters will not know what Radio Caroline was 'Farewell in the rain' by the shoes a dutch group that never made it over here but it was played a lot on Caroline.
12 Aug, 2009
Bobg - my "Saviour"! Mention of "tornado" (I hope????).
Forget the drookin', Mp, was in "my element", lol! :-)
13 Aug, 2009
Ok, ok, I'll let you off with the waffling about tornadoes!
Glad you had fun yesterday!
13 Aug, 2009
But I STILL think you were thinking of lightning, what with all the flashing!
13 Aug, 2009
Bob...did you know Radio Caroline is still going....although not from a boat! We found it on our 'sky TV' the other day!
13 Aug, 2009
Just to go all up-market and posh, there's the depiction of a thunderstorm in the fourth movement of Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony

Okay okay Marie get this one ....Incey wincey spider went up the water spout and down came the rain and washed poor wincey out.......
13 Aug, 2009
