I will also add:

Surprisingly, [The Rainmakers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzigClmiu3A&t=0m14s) didn’t do a lot of songs about rain.
_And the rainmaker came to town
And the people got what they wanted
The rainmaker came to town
And everybody got what they need
The rain came falling down
Cats and dogs and buckets
And the rainmaker sailed away on a flood of relief_

Thanks for adding the titles. Should’ve thought of that myself. 👍
I tried posting the videos themselves, but it didn’t work. 😠
