Why Does It Always Rain On...Glastonbury?

The Glastonbury Festival gets under way on Friday and one thing's for sure – it's going to rain.

After days of glorious sunshine, a cloud the size of, well, Worthy Farm is set to descend right on top of Glastonbury just before Neil Young starts playing the opening chords to 'Heart Of Gold'. Or at least that's what the folks over at the Met Office have been telling me the last few days – and they're never wrong, are they?

Whatever happens, come rain or shine, one shouldn't get too despondent. That's what wellies are for. And tents. Indeed, a light shower or four will even provide the more astute bands with the perfect opportunity to crank out a fitting cover or two.

But what song would work best?

Unsurprisingly, a quick tweet to Gigwise followers on Twitter has come up with some pretty fantastic suggestions. From the obvious – Travis's 'Why Does it Always Rain On Me?' – to the more obscure and, well, darn right ridiculous of 'Thunder' by East 17. Whoever knew adamkillip was such fan?

I've put a selection of people's other choices below – but we want more, so head on down to the comment form at the bottom of the page.

And if it doesn't rain? Well, it's been fun, hasn't it?
