It's raining Violets!

[mothhawk]

Though April showers may come your way,
They bring the flowers that bloom in May.
So if it's raining, have no regrets,
Because it isn't raining rain, you know, It's raining violets,......

It's not raining men, Halleluiah!, then?

Don't you mean "Abnormal service will be resumed"?

Never heard of it, obviously a Welsh thing

I grew up with this song, played on an old 78rpm record on a wind-up gramophone, and sung by Al Jolson - with my father miming or playing along on a mouth organ. Completely politically incorrect now so here's a version by Judy Garland Judy Garland - April Showers - YouTube. Enjoy!!!

and when you see them,upon the hill........ something about golden daffodil,it's going round in me head now,see what you started lol

Just for you Lottie - now sing along with me:

"April Showers"
Life is not a highway strewn with flowers,
Still it holds a goodly share of bliss,
When the sun gives way to April showers,
Here is the point you should never miss.

Though April showers may come your way,
They bring the flowers that bloom in May.
So if it's raining, have no regrets,
Because it isn't raining rain, you know, (It's raining violets,)
And where you see clouds upon the hills,
You soon will see crowds of daffodils,
So keep on looking for a blue bird, And list'ning for his song,
Whenever April showers come along.

Nah, that's sunny here!

[veggiechicken]

Sunny here today too, but it wasn't when the Violets appeared!

[Hilary B]

I have a feeling that was the same song that Eric Morecambe was playing when he was "playing all the RIGHT notes, but not necessarily in the right order"
