Ah-huh
And have we got news for you
You better listen!
Get ready, all you lonely girls
And leave those umbrellas at home.
Alright!
According to all sources, the street's the place to go
Cause tonight for the first time
Just about half-past ten
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men.
It's raining men! Hallelujah! It's raining men! amen!
I'm gonna go out to run and let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet!
It's raining men! Hallelujah!
It's raining men! Every specimen!
Tall, blonde, dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean
God bless mother nature, she's a single woman too
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do
She taught every angel to rearrange the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy
It's raining men! Hallelujah!
It's raining men! Amen!
It's raining men! Hallelujah!
It's raining men! Amennnn!
I feel stormy weather
Moving in about to begin
Hear the thunder
Don't you lose your head
Rip off the roof and stay in bed
God bless mother nature, she's a single woman too
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do
She taught every angel to rearrange the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy
It's raining men! Yeah!
Humidity is rising, barometer's getting low
According to all sources, the street's the place to go
Cause tonight for the first time
Just about half-past ten
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men.
It's raining men! hallelujah!
It's raining men! Amen!
It's raining men! Hallelujah!
It's raining men! Amen!
It's raining men! Hallelujah!
Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1987 cover of "It's Raining Men" is a fun and energetic take on the classic disco hit. The song, originally written by Paul Jabara and Paul Shaffer, is a celebration of joy and empowerment, centering on the idea that nothing can bring us down - not even a little bit of rain. The "weather girls" in the song are singing about a storm of men falling from the sky, and they encourage all the single ladies to abandon their umbrellas and go out and dance in the rain.
The lyrics of "It's Raining Men" are full of clever wordplay and double entendres, making it a fun and playful song to listen to. One of the most clever lines in the song is "God bless mother nature, she's a single woman too / she took off to heaven and she did what she had to do," which suggests that even nature gets lonely sometimes and needs to take matters into her own hands. The chorus of the song, with its repeated cries of "It's raining men! Hallelujah!" is a joyous celebration of life and love that never fails to get people on their feet and dancing.
Despite its upbeat and positive message, "It's Raining Men" has also been criticized in some circles for its objectification of men, and for reinforcing stereotypes of masculinity. However, many people see the song as a playful and harmless celebration of sexuality, without taking things too seriously.
