- "Tinseltown in the Rain" is a song by Scottish pop band The Blue Nile. It was released as the second single from their 1984 debut album A Walk Across the Rooftops. The song was written and produced by lead singer Paul Buchanan and bassist Robert Bell. It has been described as an "ode to the city" of Glasgow. The song reached No. 87 on the UK Singles Chart. It was a bigger hit in the Netherlands, peaking at No. 28 on the Dutch Top 40. The song, or more specifically, its rhythm section, was also used as the theme to the TV series, Tinsel Town, set in Glasgow, and aired, firstly, on BBC Choice in 2000, and was then repeated on BBC 2 the following year. An abridged second and final series aired in 2002. Also prominently used in the opening theme was the line, "ah-oh Tinsel Town", taken from the end of the middle 8 section of the original song. "Tinseltown in the Rain" remains a beloved staple in the Netherlands, regularly appearing on NPO Radio 2's annual Top 2000 songs of all time countdown. It reached its highest position at No. 445 in 2003. (en)
- Tinseltown in the rain is een single van The Blue Nile uit 1984. Het is afkomstig van hun album . De stad (town) van klatergoud (tinsel) is in dit geval het Schotse Glasgow. De schrijver probeert liefde te vinden in een stad vol asfalt. De band had het tijdens hun start financieel niet best. Oefenen moest bij de leden thuis, vooral in de smalle woning van Paul Buchanan. Opvallend aan het nummer is de aanhoudende ritmische riff op de achtergrond. Het nummer verkocht gedurende lange tijd goed, maar net te weinig om hoog te scoren in de hitparade. Andrea Corr, van origine Ierse en een van The Corrs nam het op voor haar album Lifelines. (nl)
