"Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" is a song by Bob Dylan. It is the opening track of his 1966 album, BLONDE ON BLONDE. It was initially released as a single in April 1966, reaching No. 7 in the UK and No. 2 in the US chart.
"Rainy Day Women", recorded in the Nashville studio of Columbia Records, features a raucous brass band backing track. The song's title does not appear anywhere in the lyrics and there has been much debate over the meaning of the recurrent chorus, "Everybody must get stoned". This has made the song controversial, being labelled by some commentators as "a drug song".
