While ‘It’s Raining Men’ was released in the autumn of 1982 by the American music duo The Weather Girls as the lead single for their third studio album, the lyrics describe excitement and enjoyment of many types of men; In contrast, “Bodies” released in 2001 by American rock band Drowning Pool, an ode to the intensity of mosh pits,also enjoyed a good amount of commercial success. Somehow, both songs seem to commemorate the iconic moment in 1998, when The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table.
And another one gone, and another one gone, and another one bites the dust
That’s hilarious, so many songs about bodies free falling from the sky and hitting the floor, like rain.
I’m back at my cliff, still throwing things off I listen to the sounds they make on their way down I follow with my eyes 'til they crash
Why not both?
God, I love song mashups. It’s sometimes shocking how much they slap. My favorite will always be Eye of the Tiger x Fireflies.
Respectfully, that’s a good one but I’m yet to hear one that will top Jay Z vs Bach.
I’ll see your Jay-Z vs Bach and raise you my Hanz Zimmer vs LMFAO.
I love covers AND mashups:
Last time I heard Bodies I was in a CVS parking lot and a pickup truck pulled in blaring it. I nearly lost it when I saw a 40 something dad wearing khakis get out of the truck. Then I realized I was a 40 something dad wearing cargo pants and quietly went back to my car to have a midlife crisis.
Bodies hitting the floor could be from any height. Raining implies a great height.
