gatorgorilla ... good job! After posting that, I was a little worried how we were going to get out of that one!

millineutron: I was contemplating shouting "Uncle", then figured I better concentrate on "rhapsody" and not "bohemian"! This Song Title thread has been running way too long - I didn't want to be the one to bring it to an end! (It would have made you quite the champ, however, so you can savor what you almost accomplished, I guess!)
And an additional thought: there are a lot of resourceful people posting here, so someone would have met your challenge, had I not done so!

millineutron:
Thank you for this post & the link to Lou Christie's RHAPSODY IN THE RAIN.
I just listened to it & was LOL - imagining that song being banned in 1966! I am not too surprised that it was banned, but boy have standards been blown wide open in this country since then! (In Spring of 1966 I graduated from high school, so am using that to put the song in context, in my mind...)
Congrats on becoming a Social Butterfly! (I have not figured out how one moves along & qualifies for the upgrades in classification; it does not seem to be tied strictly to the number of posts a person has made.) Kinda silly, but it's fun to notice you've moved up a notch in your ranking...

Sorry to jump back in out of turn, but couldn't resist -- one of the most amazing John Lennon vocals ever!
(Plus I noticed that I just became a Social Butterfly, so why the heck not!

Woohoo! Thanks, nyadrn, for that lead in to another Steve Winwood song!
gatorgorilla--I know! Compared to what's on the radio today, "ooh, making love in the storm, sha la la la la" seems ridiculously tame, and definitely a metaphor for lost innocence. I love the line, "The windshield wipers seemed to say Together, Together!"
