ok, here’s a bop with a strange story for ya
when paul shaffer (the bald bespectacled homie from the letterman show) helped write this bop, they initially offered it to donna summer. However, as a newly born-again Christian, she claimed it was “blasphemous” and then mailed a bible to shaffer.
it was then picked up by martha wash and izora armstead (who at the time were performing as a group called “two tons of fun”). They named themselves “the weathergirls,” making themselves the first band in history to name themselves specifically after song that had ALREADY BEEN WRITTEN and then have that song go to #1 on the charts. Also gay anthem ftw
Submitted for the approval of the midnight society:
It’s raining men by the weathergirls
