"Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" by Boney M


 

The Caribbean.... home to Captain Jack Sparrow and Boney M, a disco era band with album art that some would call fabulous, and that others would call really, really fabulous.

Their funky 1977 remake of Creedence Clearwater Revival's 1970 roots rock single "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" is irresistably danceable, yet unwittingly laughable.

If you're wondering what's being said in the second verse of their rendition, the lyrics genius website gives us this:

Yes for days and days before
Sun is rain and cold is hot
I know, in this place got all my found

I just... that's.... what?

For another Creedence cover, "Fortunate Son" by Dropkick Murphys can be found here.
