โItโs raining men! Hallelujah! / Itโs raining men! Amen!โ HALLELUJAH ๐!!!ย Maybe itโs blasphemous โ pretty sure it is โ but โPicture itโฆโ Sophia Petrillo!!! F**k that rain! Imagine that chiseled, hunky men are falling from the skies โ a gift from heaven ๐ผ โ just ready to be ๐ต โBooโd Upโ with various ๐ต โProspectsโ? Oh, the joystick ๐น๏ธ action! Now that youโve been properly stimulated and titillated, you can see why ๐ The Weather Girlsโ ๐ต โItโs Raining Menโ is considered an iconic, joyful gay anthem โ a surefire LGBTQ Bop ๐๐ถ!
The Weather Girls (๐ Izora Armstead and ๐ Martha Wash) gave us that legendary forecast in 1982. A ๐ฟ Success? Surprisingly, โItโs Raining Menโ was only moderately successful, peaking at no. 46 on the Billboard Hot 100 โ SHAMEFUL!ย Nonetheless, this ๐ผโ Paul Jabara / ๐ผโ Paul Shaffer penned record has become a staple of pop culture.
โGod bless Mother Nature, sheโs a single woman too
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do
She taught every angel
She rearranged the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy.โ
Is Mother Nature is a single woman?ย Maybe, but considering how beloved the song is within the gay community, Iโm not so sure Mother Nature isnโt a member of the LGBTQ+ community! A single gay man, perhaps? Regardless, โFor the first time in history / Itโs gonna start raining men!โย Hasnโt happened yet, but weโll all hold out hope!
Music Video ๐ถ๐ผ
Honestly, a song about โraining menโ requires a music video ๐ถ๐ผ โ itโs a non-negotiable people!ย Expectedly, the video is outlandish, with Izora and Martha taking their meteorology roles serious, dammit!ย Yes, there are raining men in various outfits, with the most important part being their revealed skin! Yes, thereโs chest and abs FTW! Also, if youโre into it, thereโs thigh action and how about those bums in those undies? Like totally Delish, right ๐? ย Honestly, you must see this cringy yet enticing video for yourself โ words donโt do it justice!ย
Final Thoughts ๐ญ
What more can one say about โItโs Raining Menโ? Itโs silly AF but also irresistible AF.ย Outlandish, novel songs make life better, wouldnโt you agree.ย And letโs be honest with ourselves.ย Wouldnโt things be easier if men โ or women for that matter โ just rained down and we had our pick of who weโd like without being complicated? Iโm just saying!
