Raining Pleasure by The Triffids was released as a 12" EP in 1984 and reached #95 on the Australian Charts.[1]

"Raining Pleasure" was covered by Australian band, The Paradise Motel, on their 1996 EP, Some Deaths Take Forever, which is mostly a heavily processed instrumental, with few recognisable vocal fragments.

Greek indie band, Raining Pleasure, based the name of their band on the song "Raining Pleasure".
