Friday Funtime: Rain, Rain, Go Away!

April showers bring May flowers. (And Mayflowers bring Pilgrims, ba-dum-tish.) If that's the case, then New York City should be blooming like the damn rainforest in the coming weeks, as sheets of angled rain have been crossing the slate-grey Manhattan sky much of the morning and afternoon.

Let's get all this rain out of our system, then, with 10 songs that pay their respects to God's tears.

1. The Cowsills, "The Rain, the Park, and Other Things"
2. Marmalade, "I See the Rain"
3. Eric Clapton, "Let It Rain"
4. Phil Collins, "I Wish It Would Rain Down"
5. The Temptations, "I Wish It Would Rain"
6. The Serendipity Singers, "Don't Let the Rain Come Down"
7. The Critters, "Don't Let the Rain Fall Down on Me"
8. Ann Peebles, "I Can't Stand the Rain"
9. The Beatles, "Rain"
10. Carole King, "It Might as Well Rain Until September"
