Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hi, hi! we're your weather girls
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!
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!
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!

Overall Meaning

The song "It's Raining Men" by Carol Jiani is a celebration of female independence and empowerment in the context of finding a perfect man. It is sung by two "Weather Girls" who are predicting a phenomenon that has never occurred before: men will fall from the sky. The first verse sets the stage by announcing that the weather girls have a special message for the lonely women out there who have been waiting for the perfect man to come along. The second verse takes on a more serious tone as it describes a sudden drop in barometric pressure and rising humidity, indicating that something extraordinary is about to happen. The chorus jumps in with the iconic line "It's raining men, hallelujah!" signaling the joy and shock that this rare event is causing.


The song's lyrics playfully compare men to precipitation, describing them as different "specimens" with varying physical qualities such as being tall, blonde, dark, lean, rough, tough, strong, or mean. The reference to God and Mother Nature is used to give the song a sense of divine inevitability that these men are meant to be gifts to women. The song also includes a reference to thunder and stormy weather, creating a sense of excitement and anticipation for both the Weather Girls and the listener.


One of the possible interpretations of the song is that it was intended to be a metaphor for the feminist movement of that time, as women were starting to claim their own independence and self-reliance. It can also be interpreted as a celebration of female sexuality, as the chorus suggests that women can take control of their own sexual desires and enjoy the pleasure of a perfect man.
