    没想到立顿会选这首带着淡淡苦涩的励志老歌作为新广告曲。雨滴落到我头上。近来天气确实不佳，正好是听这首歌的时节。一首很适合任何季节里的雨天聆听的歌。虽然已经过了靠首歌来励志的年龄，但还是反复流连在这歌中。

     1969年的电影Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid，中文名很庸俗地译为了《虎豹小霸王》，其实是一部西部片。描述美国西部盗匪史中确有其人的Butch Cassidy 和Sundance Kid日舞小子携手闯荡江湖的传奇故事。两人原是十九世纪末著名的火车大盗，他们都喜欢上同一名女子Etta Place，带着她到处做案和逃亡，最后在南美洲的玻利维亚被军队歼灭。 片中，保罗纽曼饰演的Butch骑着自行车带着凯瑟琳罗斯饰演的埃塔，背景用了这首《雨点不断打在我头上》，非常浪漫。这首歌一举赢得了当年奥斯卡最佳电影歌曲奖。

     今天的立顿奶茶广告当然与冒险激烈的西部片没有什么关系了。新时代的俊男美女恣意享受着青春的 快乐。不过那种苦中作乐、小心翼翼经营着的温暖感觉始终会是真正体会着生活的人所感同身受的。

RAINDROPS KEEP FALLIN' ON MY HEAD
- words by Hal David, music by Burt Bacharach
- from the movie "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"
starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford
- won the Academy's Oscar for the Best Film Song of 1969

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
------ trumpet ------
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
