Parodies’ Paradise: 1969 “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head”

The number written by Hal David and Burt Bacharach for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid won an Academy Award for Best Original Song… was recorded by B. J. Thomas in seven takes… the single reached number 1 on charts in the United States, Canada, Norway and reached number 38 in the UK Singles Chart… topped the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks… spent seven weeks atop the Billboard adult contemporary chart… Billboard ranked it as the No. 4 song of the year… according to Billboard magazine, itsold over 2 million copies by March 14, 1970, with eight-track and cassette versions also climbing the charts.

The Happiest Guys in the World tackle this frivolously with “Snowflakes!” Not too faithful to the source.

Moke Hilding gives “Snowflakes Keep Falling on My Head” a turn. It never gets too deep.
