I Think It's Going to Rain Today
Encyclopedia
"I Think It's Going to Rain Today" (or "I Think It's Gonna Rain Today") is a song written by Randy Newman
, and appears on the album Randy Newman
, as well as The Randy Newman Songbook Vol. 1
and all of Newman's official and bootleg live albums. It is one of his most covered songs.
Despite the many covers, it appears to have charted only twice, once in Canada in 1970 for Tom Northcott
and in the UK in 1980 for UB40
. The UB40 single was a double A-side, but it appears that I Think It's Going to Rain Today got most of the airplay: the other song, My Way of Thinking, was dropped from the next album, and the German single (which appeared later) had I Think It's Going to Rain Today as the A-side.
