Bhool koi humse na ho jaye…
Rimjhim Gire Sawan (Manzil)
A soothing song expressing the beauty of rain.

Bheege Aaj Is Mausam Mein
Lagi Kaisi Yeh Agan
Barso Re Megha (Guru)
This song from the movie Guru featured Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and was sung by Shreya Ghoshal and Keerthi.
Meethaa Hai, Kosaa Hai,

Jo Haal Dil Ka (Sarfarosh)
Steamy romance exuded on screen by Aamir Khan and Sonali Bendre.
Yeh mujhko khabar hai,
Yeh tujhko pata hai

Chaahat ka nasha hai
Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhaagi Si (Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi)
This is by far the best song to narrate the story of a flirtatious mechanic, trying to repair the car of a pretty lass in torrential rains. The song 'Ek ladki bheegi bhaagi si' from the movie Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi (1958) is another landmark song. And, there couldn't be any better artist than Kishore Kumar to do justice to this song.
Ghanan Ghanan (Lagaan)
A song which shows the importance of rain in India. This song from the movie Lagaan revolves around a small village, oppressed by high taxes. A tryst with destiny changes their lives.
Kaale Megha, Kaale Megha Paani To Barsaao
Bijuri Ki Talvaar Nahin, Boondon Ke Baan Chalaao
Megha Chhaaye, Barkha Laaye
Behta Hai Mann (Chameli)
The imaginative verse of Irshad Kamil, carefree delivery of Sunidhi Chauhan's and Kareena Kapoor's rapturous radiance combined effectively in the song Bhaage re mann.
Bhaage re mann kahin,
aage re mann chala,
jaane kidhar jaanu na
Bheegi Bheegi Raaton Mein (Mausam)
This evocative song describes Rajesh Khanna and Zeenat Aman's wet rendezvous.
Bheegi bheegi raato me,
meeti meeti baato me
aise barsaton me kaisa lagta hai
Here Comes the Rain Again (Eurythmics)
We have heard the sound of synthesized rain in the pop culture as well. This song of unrequited love was swirled in with powerful emotions by Eurythmics in 1984.
Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
Rainy Night In Georgia (Brook Benton)
This song from the 1970s brought the melancholic spirit of the rain into the limelight.
A rainy night in Georgia, such a rainy night in Georgia
Lord, I believe it's rainin' all over the world
