Chocolate Feat. Weather Girls Lyrics

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 (uh rising), barometer's getting low (how low girl?)
According to all sources (what sources now?), the street's the place to go (we better hurry up)
'Cause tonight for the first time (first time)
Just about half-past ten (half past ten)
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men (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, she rearranged the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy
Oh, it's raining men, yeah
Humidity is rising (humidity is rising, yeah yeah)
Barometer's getting low (it's getting low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low)
According to all sources (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 man (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
It's raining men, amen
It's raining men, hallelujah
Oh oh oh oh
It's raining men
Tall, blonde, dark and lean

Rough and tough and strong and mean
Hallelujah it's raining men, amen

Overall Meaning

The song "It's Raining Men" by the Weather Girls features lyrics that celebrate the idea of men literally falling from the sky. The song begins with the introduction of the singers as the weather girls, who have some exciting news that all the women listening should be aware of. They encourage the women to leave their umbrellas at home, hinting that something different is on the horizon. The song then describes the rising humidity and lowering barometer in a way that suggests that something intense is building towards a climax. The lyric "according to all sources, the street's the place to go" implies that the atmosphere on the streets is electric, and the lyric "for the first time in history, it's gonna start raining men" suggests that something unprecedented is about to happen.

As the chorus kicks in, the singers belt out the phrase "It's Raining Men, Hallelujah" eight times in a row to emphasize the joy of the occasion. They are excited about the prospect of men raining down from the sky and declare that they're going to go out and "let themselves get absolutely soaking wet." The song continues with a list of physical descriptions of the potential men that could literally drop from the sky. These descriptions include "tall, blonde, dark, and lean, rough, and tough, and strong, and mean." The verse continues to describe the excitement of the women who would be able to fulfill their romantic desires with so many eligible men suddenly appearing on the scene.

The song's lyrics are playful and irreverent, and the catchy melody only adds to the cheerful atmosphere. The idea of men raining down from the sky is a metaphor for the idea that the women listening to the song are in for a treat. The lyrics are full of innuendo and suggest that the women should be ready for a wild time. However, the song is also empowering in its celebration of female desire and the idea that women should not be ashamed of their sexuality.
