Persistent earworm alert CCCXXXIII

To the consternation of my cat, Collette, and me, we've had a lot of rain this Spring.  In fact, it was storming again not long ago.  If you were listening to WFXB in 1993 or '94, you might have heard Dee Carstensen's "Rooftops," which I've never heard on any other radio station.  Lately, though, in St. Louis, there have been many occasions to hear "showers on the rooftops..."

To Carstensen's credit, "Rooftops" has a strong rhythm, fit for contemplating one's exasperation with excessive rain.  It still puzzles me that it wasn't a hit.
