Spring Songs (Updated)

Spring is virtually here. (How do I know? My wife is sneezing All. The. Time. Poor woman.)

As a result, it's time to update our list of spring songs. We did this initially about a year ago, but there's been a lot of music come down the pike since then.

Because there aren't all that many songs that specifically take spring as their subject, what follows is a list of spring-ish songs. Flowers and bugs and a little rain. Songs with "Spring" in them. Rain isn't necessarily for spring alone, but we've gone without much rain this winter and spring and so it's a bit of wishful thinking. (Sadly, that sentence is copied directly from my post last year but is just as true.)

I've added the new songs here.

Raffi, "Robin in the Rain" (Singable Songs for the Very Young)
Elizabeth Mitchell, "You Are My Flower" (You Are My Flower)
Laurie Berkner, "In the Clouds" (Buzz Buzz)
Elizabeth Mitchell, "Ladybug Picnic" (You Are My Sunshine)
Lisa Loeb and Elizabeth Mitchell, "Butterfly" (Catch the Moon)
Ralph Covert, "The Ants Go Marching" (from Songs For Wiggleworms)
Dan Zanes and Dar Williams, "Wild Mountain Thyme" (Night Time!)
Dan Zanes, "On the Sunnyside of the Street" (Rocket Ship Beach)
--- new ---
The Sippy Cups, "Springtime Fantastic" (Electric Storyland)
Enzo Garcia, "Spring is Here" (LMNO Music (Green))
Ryan Hipp, Kevin Kammeraad, and Friends, "Spring" (A Curious Glimpse of Michigan)
Ralph's World, "Puddle of Mud" (Happy Lemons)
Erin Lee & Marci, "Waiting For It To Grow" (Snowdance)
Elizabeth Mitchell, "Pom Na Tu Ri (Springtime Outing)" (You Are My Little Bird)
I'm sure I've missed some -- add your suggestions below
