"Walking in the Rain" is a 1978 song by Australian band Flash and the Pan.
Background
The song was originally composed and recorded by Australian band Flash and the Pan and included on their eponymous 1979 debut album. In 1981 it was covered by Grace Jones, who included it on Nightclubbing, her second Compass Point album and later released as the last single from the record. The song was released in various remixes, among them a 7:30 12" mix including additional vocal overdubs, still unreleased on CD. The B-side, "Peanut Butter", credited to the Compass Point All Stars, was actually an instrumental dub version of "Pull Up to the Bumper", yet to be released on CD. "Walking in the Rain" was included in Jones' music documentary A One Man Show, and a snapshot from the video was later used as the cover of the 1985 Warm Leatherette reissue.
In 2011, "Walking in the Rain" by Flash and the Pan was used by Peugeot in the television advertising campaign for their 308 car.
