So, the inspiration for this song is the British weather (I know I'm being a cliche)

In the UK it has rained every day since the 1st January - which, as of yesterday was 40 days.

Credit goes to @tamsnumber4 for suggesting the rhymes with the word 'Orange'

For those interested in the recording process -

The track was recorded using Cubase Elements. The bass is a Squier PJ bass which I swapped out the original pickups for a set of EMG active ones. I used the Cubase amp simulator to add a bit of distortion.

The two guitar parts are played on an Epiphone SG utilising the Cubase Amp simulator, onboard flanger and phaser..

The drums are from the Cubase sound library and played real-time from a keyboard controller.

Horn sound is from the Cubase HaLion library.

The cowbell is a real cowbell recorded with a SE Electronics SE2200A condenser mic. Vocals are also recorded using the SE mic.

No AI was used.

For 40 days and 40 nights, (Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain...) I'm rusting orange, (Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain...) Just like a door hinge, (Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain...) For 40 days and 40 nights, (Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain...) I'm rusting orange, (Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain...) Enough to make a man cringe. (Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain...) For 40 days and 40 nights, (Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain...) I'm getting wetter, (Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain...) It ain't no better. (Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain...) For 40 days and 40 nights, (Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain...) I'm rusting orange, (Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain...) I'm rusting orange... (Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain...)

Those stormy clouds have opened up on me, There's no blue sky for as far as I can see, This ain't no time for a walk in the park, It's too darn wet and it's oh so dark, Well... I hope you're happy, I hope you're happy, I hope you're happy Rain...

For 40 days and 40 nights, (Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain...) I'm rusting orange, (Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain...) Just like a door hinge, (Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain...) For 40 days and 40 nights, (Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain...) I'm rusting orange, (Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain...) Enough to make a man cringe. (Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain...) For 40 days and 40 nights, (Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain...) I'm getting wetter, (Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain...) It ain't no better. (Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain...) For 40 days and 40 nights, (Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain...) I'm rusting orange, (Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain...) I'm rusting orange... (Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain...)

That ice cold rain is getting into my bones, You don't pick up when I call on the phone, That lighting strike goes right through to the heart, That pouring rain is washing me apart, Well, I hope you're happy, I hope you're happy, I hope you're happy, Rain!

Rain, rain, rain, rain, Rain, rain, rain, rain, Rain, rain, rain, rain, Rain, rain, rain, rain, Rain, rain, rain, rain, Rain, rain, rain, rain, Rain, rain, rain, rain, Rain, rain, rain, rain, Rain...
