70 年代初期排行榜上幾乎是木匠兄妹的天才, 一會兒是單曲, 一會兒是專輯。 1971 年的單曲 "For All We Know" 為木匠兄妹拿到了三張金唱片。接下來又有 "Rainy Days and Mondays" 獲得告示牌第二名。

後面幾首也都是膾炙人口的作品, 如 "Superstar"、"Goodbye to Love"、"Top of the World"...每一首大家大概都可以哼個二句。 

1973 年的專輯「Now & Then 」。這張專輯幫芝麻街唱出了 "Sing", 及懷舊的 "Yesterday Once More", 把木匠兄妹真的是推向了高峰, 在美國就賣出了 7 百萬張。

因為幾乎每一首都是經曲, 所以每天要挑一首歌真的好難喲...。今天挑的這首是有點 Blue 的曲風, 雨天和星期一 Rainy Days and Mondays。前奏口琴音樂一下, 整個 fu 就整個 down 了下去...原本應該要星期一才放的, 不過星期一放了三天假回來可能真的會太 Blue 一點, 那天可能放一點輕快的好了... ^p*

參考歌詞

Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothin' is really wrong
Feelin' like I don't belong
Walkin' around
Some kind of lonely clown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you
Nice to know somebody loves me
Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me.

What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.
