It appears on his 1968 debut album Randy Newman, in The Randy Newman Songbook Vol. 1 (2003), and in Newman's official and bootleg live albums . It is one of his most covered songs . </P> <P> Despite the many covers, it charted only twice, once in Canada in 1970 for Tom Northcott and in the UK in 1980 for UB40 . The UB40 single was a double A-side with "My Way of Thinking", which was the first - named track and received most of the radio airplay . However, the German single (which appeared later) had "I Think It's Going to Rain Today" as the A-side . </P>
