Lyrical weather
So there I was, showering at the gym this morning, when I heard Bob Dylan's voice squawking from the speaker in the ceiling. He was singing the "Subterranean Homesick Blues," the one that includes the lyrics "Don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows..."
That made me wonder how many other songs are out there that include the word "weather," or otherwise deal in some passing fashion with meteorology. Like the Sesame Street theme: "Sunny day, sweepin' the clouds away..."

Frank,
Weather songs are plentiful. So much so that there's a site with quizzes about nothing but weather in songs:

Enjoy!

LYRICAL WEATHER:
If you want to stick to just Bob Dylan, you've got: Hard Rain, Buckets of Rain, Shelter from the Storm,
Blowin In the Wind, Idiot Wind and Caribbean Wind. And that's just in the titles!!!!

OK. So maybe this was too easy. Maybe we should focus on songs with the word "weather" in them. "Stormy weather..." More of a challenge?

Let's not forget It's Raining Men by Geri Halliwell!
