Albert Hammond - It never rains in Southern California 1973

[H0LLYW00DxxxECTASY]

THumbs up if this wasnt the sonq you were lookinq for >_<

[nitinomatic]

I first listened to this song in that movie 'Greenberg' and fell in deep love with the song. And for eighteen straight hours this song's been playing on my phone, in my head and in my heart.

Lots of love from India. :)

[redenajean]

Now this was music, I miss these good old days!

[louisa1832]

The last time I heard this song ... oh, boy!

[GrueneBiene]

Greenberg

[Vinscient]

Wow, great song...one from my long lost and misspent youth...When you hear a tune like this for the first time at age six (as I did) it burns it's way into the hardwire of your brain and it will always be there. When you hear it later it will evoke the same feelings you had way back when, although somewhat hollowed by distance and nostalgia...Man I miss being a kid in the seventies.....

[drho1998]

7 people had a rain in southern California:))

[SuperVorbild]

Great better than the studio version :D

[Sazzyw75]

Remember this from karaoke and somebody I know did a paraody, seems it never rains in Sunny Bognor Regis lol

[deatho10o]

I love this song! god the whole family line is filled with talent! Listen to The Strokes, or some of Albert Hamond Jr.'s solo work...breathtaking

[skaet1010]

@deatho10o Man, I had no idea his son and Julian Casablancas started The Strokes. I love The Strokes!

[TJCATLOVER]

Good song from my childhood.

[bonaje7]

veronica mars series finale!

[RetroCool73]

A "lost performance" from the much-wiped BBC TV weekly Top Of The Pops from circa February 73 (going by the set backdrop), but in this case so "lost" nobody can completely sure what week it was tx'd!

[chatosoriano0808]

This song is good...memories for my life.

[MultiMarsianer]

This song just came into my mind, and I had to hear it - why? oO

[iw32]

2 people are from northern California.

[BrokenneckYgor]

sick of this whining loser

[apollosix1]

Hey it's RAINING!!

[onenikkione]

my family spent spring break 2010 in san diego - it was beautiful

[BigTerKC]

If not Southern California, this song resonates across the world. We've all pretty much been through situations where were down on our luck and IF we did run into someone from back home, we sure wouldn't want them to tell them how they found us.

Hopefully thats the 'rock bottom' and it just makes us grow stronger and make something better of ourselves.

I've gone from high paying job and nice home and car to thinking I may have to pan-handle on the corner with my dog (she has more charisma).

[VanillaCamillaa]

its rainen game

[196023413]

Hey but his navive languaje is spanish.

[fluffydanny]

Pouring like hell,right? Go bankrupt with liberal shit! I won't bail your ass out. Make movies in N. Carollina and Ohio.

[alberthammond18]

one of the best songs of seventies. i personally experienced the disappointments the lyrics of this song say, a few  years later in 1980 in Madrid-Spain. i was cheated by a Spaniard woman. after a few days of staying there i was out of work, I was out of my head,Out of self respect, out of bread, i´ve been underloved,even underfed,I wanted go home. please don´t mock at me. i may have written this for the sake of an interesting comment. by the way her name was PILAR ...

[fluffydanny]

Over sexed and under loved.

[fluffydanny]

I have a long story about a guy setting me up in an apartment and wanting me to wait for the producer ti decide. I had to get back to the army in two weeks or be listed AWOL.

[RinkeEvent]

Ron Kelly der Smokie Mitbegründer war auch schon mit Albert Hammond unterwegs

nun ist er bei the spirit of SMOKIE

[fluffydanny]

I view this as a sad song. how do you see it ?

[shoperi]

The himn of all Mexicans that come here hoping for the great crop

no mas

[fluffydanny]

Pouring right now , right? Houses at half price, movies made in South  Carlonia, Wet-backs milking the system.......etc. It never stopped raining.

[rosebud7158]

1973--those kids in that audience are on the verge of being senior citizens now.

[littleangeleliza]

heard the song the first time in the "gardena" advertisement

[pantherproof]

Heard this in the film "Greenberg." I thought it was strange the character would have been just a toddler when it came out. But it showed how the younger generation just doesn't get the music then. Good tune.

[proudaddy1980]

"out of work I'm out of of my head, out of self respect I'm out of bread,Im underloved I'm underfed ! I wanna go home!!! How true could that be for so many people who following their dreams end up lost in a big city with no one to turn to for help. Deep song!

[pauls0225]

tap the wrong button... sorry

[uplinkz]

OMG!!!! Music was so good back then. What happened to the world???

[jl2000doramail]

Because of this song, people from out of state do ask me if it rains in California.

[sanuva1986]

@jl2000doramail naive amis ;)

[iw32]

Is it Man it pours or Menopause? :)

[gregglesmegma]

@iw32 i always sing menopause when this song comes on the radio lol

[ToshiroHitsugaia]

This classic is unforgettable, I remember in my childhood while my parents play the radio and listen this song, a sunday in the night... Thanks for posting.

[madkins]

I don't think I ever knew what he looked like. Classic song. It's also the song over the very last scene of Veronica Mars.

[oneflower66]

[raymondku2407]

I have found this song in Youtube such a long time.

Thank you for posting this video.

[sisterraysbrother]

i don't care how old or dated this song may seem, or if barry manilow covered it... it rocks so hard. it's the same 3 or 4 chords for the whole song, but the hooks and the melodies are brilliant. love it!

[horacio0206]

Thanks for posting this video. These songs were a part of my life in those happy days!!
