Songs About Raining, Pouring, Old Men, & Snoring

Where I live, today was a nasty, rainy day. As a result, there are these songs. Do with them what you will. And enjoy!  ~  JH

1)  Guns N’ Roses  ~  “November Rain”

2)  Skylar Stecker  ~  “Let It Pour”

3)  Paul Robeson  ~  “Ol’ Man River”

12)  Grant Lee Buffalo  ~  “America Snoring”

13)  Mariah Carey  ~  “Through The Rain”

14)  Crowded House  ~  “Pour Le Monde”  (Yeah, I know this one’s sort of cheating since “Pour” here is a French word with an entirely different meaning – whatever that may be, I don’t speak French. But good “Pour” songs are hard to come by, so there ya go…)

21)  Carpenters  ~  “Rainy Days And Mondays”

22)  Céline Dion  ~  “Pour Que Tu M’Aimes Encore”  (Yep, it’s me cheating again by selecting a song with the French word “Pour” which doesn’t mean “pour,” as in to drain something of its liquid. What’s your point?)

23)  Hootie & The Blowfish  ~  “Old Man & Me”

24)  3 Feet Smaller  ~  “Snore”

25)  Zoe G  ~  “It’s Raining, It’s Pouring”  (A creepy version of a classic nursery rhyme just in time for Halloween. You’re SO welcome!)
