Umbrellas (Sort of): One Final Post-Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head

As a child, I adored this song, even though it was already a number of years old. The tune, so catchy, lovely and optimistic, was featured in a Morton salt television ad. The bobbed-haired, illustrated "Morton Salt Girl", just my age, always looked as if she was having the best kind of fun, splashing happily through puddles.
A few years later,on cable,I saw the film that immortalized the song--"Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (1969). One of cinema's most exuberant, giddy scenes is entirely extraneous to the plot of the film, but no matter:it is pure magic.
Although the David-Bacharach tune has been recorded by dozens of diverse artists, the movie version--sung by BJ Thomas-- remains the most famous. It is my favourite and, therefore, the one featured here. Strictly speaking, umbrellas are nowhere to be seen in the movie clip, nor are they mentioned in the song itself. Yet, it is hardly a long leap from raindrops to umbrellas, so here you go. Enjoy!!
