Rain Smackdown: The Poll
First of all, congratulations to Manheim Steamroller, whose version of Monster Mash scared off the other contestants, edging Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the horrifying Mike Tyson. Now, on the the present. There are lots of rain songs out there, and there may be a forecast for more rain on down the line, but this time these are the contestants: Karen Carpenter's "Rainy Days and Mondays"; Creedence Clearwater Rivival's "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?"; The Temptations' "I Wish It Would Rain"; B.J. Thomas' "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head"; and "I'm Only Happy When it Rains" by Garbage. Last time you could only vote for one; this time you can vote for as many as you want.

Ok, not there is anything wrong with it, but, er, a, you are testosterone challenged if you vote for "Butch" and raindrops. Now, the Garbage song, it's alright. I'm voting for it.
證據 時效
Enough with the rain, when's it going to snow??
Of course, CCR gets my vote!.....there's just something about that video...(and it's not the umbrellas)...

(see yahoo email once more)
Thank God I am testosterone challenged.
I don't your line of thinking, andyman.
BJ Thomas:
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
Shirley from Garbage:
You wanna hear about my new obsession?
Im riding high upon a deep depression
Im only happy when it rains
Pour some misery down on me
One the one hand, you have a hopeful individual not letting circumstances over which he has no control, control him. On the other, a victim who likes wallowing in his own misery.
Which one sounds more manly to you, Butch?
That should be "I don't get"
I like 'em all. Andy and John, I'm guessing you're prolly just getting out of your election mode...
Chase, it just doesn't snow in Southern S.C., however, if there're snow songs enough, maybe around Christmas...
JDB, the poll's in the upper left corner of the main post. If you have any trouble voting, let me know.
Tam, I've been knowing Andyman 47 of my 48 years on the planet, and I'm betting your vote would not disappoint him.
John, it aint so much the song, it's the association with the Movie Butch and Sundance, and the bicycle and lalala. These guys are outlaws, they are supposed to be jumping off of cliffs, robbing banks, and killing people, not singing with BJ.
Oh, and 悉怛多缽怛囉PLANET
I tried Babelfish to find out what you said. All I got was "...At the time of multi". I've got no idea what that means.
John, You know, it's funny, but after reading those words to Raindrops, I realized that all I do is worry about everything all the time. Maybe that is why I have always liked this song since I was a little kid.
Dave: "At the time of Multi" well...I could finish that but I want to keep it clean. :)
Tam, I gots to know. I gots to.
You worry too much, Tam. Let it go. You'll be a lot happier.
Work on what you have control over.
