It's Raining Men was released in 1982 by American duo The Weather Girls and written by Paul Jabara and Paul Shaffer. The disco hit became a lasting pop culture staple, later covered by Geri Halliwell in 2001 for Bridget Jones's Diary and widely used in films, television and drag performances. Online, short excerpts of the chorus became popular as donation alerts and meme edits, where the literal lyric is matched to anything falling from above. Its familiarity and exaggerated joy keep it in circulation decades after release.
