Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Barometer's getting low
According to our 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 (start raining men)
It's raining men
Hallelujah
It's raining men
Amen
It's raining men
Hallelujah
It's raining men
Amen
Humidity is rising
Barometer's getting low
According to our 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
I'm gonna 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 over 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 the perfect guy
It's raining men
Go get yourself wet, girl
I know you want to
I feel stormy weather moving in
About to begin (about to begin)
Hear the thunder
Don't you lose your head
Rip off the roof and stay in bed
(Rip off the roof and stay)
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
It's raining men
Amen
(It's raining men)
(It's raining men)
(It's raining men)
(It's raining men)
(It's raining men)
(It's raining men)

"It's Raining Men" is a party anthem released by Geri Halliwell in 2001, revealed as the second single from her album "Scream if You Wanna Go Faster." The song, which is a cover of the Weather Girls' 1982 song, is about women looking forward to meeting guys as if it is raining men. Geri and the Weather Girls (formerly known as Two Tons o' Fun) sing about how the barometer is low and the humidity is high, indicating that the night's gonna be hot and the ideal place to be is the streets. Geri sings the pre-chorus and chorus, while the Weather Girls sing the verses.
The song's theme is simply about women's desire to interact with the opposite sex. The atmosphere is purported to be so exciting, that women should abandon their umbrellas and brace up for a night out with the guys. Geri and the Weather Girls, alternatively, proclaim with exuberance that it is raining men, cheering, and dancing with enthusiastic gratitude.
The song explores a woman's yearning for independence and fulfillment, empowering them to select and be with their ideal man, and the Weather Girls claim that it is a fantastic time for every woman because all the fine guys are out, and they are yearning to be found. It's a fun and energetic anthem, accompanied by joyous sounds and the Weather Girls' chorus to make you feel as though you're at a party with more than just one song playing.

For me this is the most iconic cover of all time. Absolutely flawless and completely reinvented it.
@emperomassinencambio...9941
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, at the top of my head.
@divatalk9011
How did she reinvent it? It’s not exactly that different from the original
@user-zq9gq5nr6o
Especially for me when I learned the translation in my own language...)
@ForeverFrengers
There’s no reinvention here. It's as close to a copy cover as can be
@survivorbest4589
@ForeverFrengers the instrumentation/production is updated to be way punchier and more uptempo. It is way more advanced than the old one from the 80s
@granttnaylor9669
I rarely find a remake of a song that I like as much as the original but this one I do. It's so retro 80's and her voice is beautiful. LOVE The Weather Girls and Geri Halliwell's version. Kudos.
@saga38
25 years down the lane and this number still brings that goosebumps... Pure nostalgia .....
@labbecedario1579
Only Geri could make a cover of this song brilliant and vibrant as much as the original!
@yuri2604
People forget that Geri invented the 80s nostalgia in the 00s
