184. It's raining men! Every specimen!
Schitt's Creek features some wonderful songs, although its soundtrack is composed by Canadian film and television composer and songwriter Maribeth Solomon.
One song I am sharing here is a musical performance featuring its main and supporting characters, Moira Rose, Jocelyn Schitt, Twyla Sands, Ronnie Lee, and Gwen Currie.
The Weather Girls' camp classic “It’s Raining Men” was a disco hit when it was released in 1982, written by Paul Jabara and Paul Shaffer.
Its humorous, tongue-in-cheek approach ultimately contributed to its widespread success. The quirky concept of men raining from the sky, though written from a woman’s perspective, helped it become a major hit within the gay community.
Today, let us enjoy this funny song and remember Catherine O'Hara, who would be laughing all the way to heaven, watching us below.
Read and enjoy the full song -
We are your weather girls, and have we got news for you!
Get ready, all you lonely girls
And leave those umbrellas at home
Humidity is rising, and the 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! Amen!
I'm gonna go out to run and let myself get and
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 bought every angel
And rearranged the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy
It's raining men! Hallelujah!
It's raining men! Amen!
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
It's raining men! Hallelujah!
It's raining men! Amen!
Tall, blonde, dark, and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah!
