I have a request for the Video Forum for those in the know...

"It's Raining Men" by the Weather Girls, but with new imagery?

(i.e. Foley, Haggard, myriad defrocked and still (!!) frocked priests who've been convicted, etc.)

As a gay man, this song always makes me feel alive-- would love to see someone tackle it with a new spin.



Does anyone know how to do this?

I believe it could be done and be fabulously brilliant, but-hey, what do I know?

Any takers?

1. hey, we have something in common!

As a straight woman, that song makes me feel alive! (now... where's that cd?...)

That would be a great video. :toast:

2. I got 53 hits over at YouTube for...

...that song when I searched the words Raining Men Weather Girls.

I haven't watched them yet, but it looks like a lot of young girls doing a sort of Web-cam Karaoke.

It wouldn't be my first choice of something to spend a week of my time on, but I bet if you had the original video to cut to and a lot of the type of footage you are thinking of, it might take a week to do, if you gathered the video and gave it to an editor.

3. Here Is the MP3

Its Raining Men - Weather Girls

If you use Windows XP, you can download Photo Story 3 and make a video with a few Images and the MP3.

4. This is probably the best version over at YouTube...

...except that it cuts off a little at the end:

They do have version 2 also (Martha Washington and Ru Paul), but the sound isn't as good:

In the meantime...the song keeps going through my head w/ scary images of the Foley...Haggard...et al.
