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.

holy shit i just got shittymorphed on lemmy

A new day has dawned.

Wait is this the real shittymorph?

No, but he’s got the spirit!

You get my ass every time. Although this one was even more unexpected. Glad to see you here.

Honestly, I dislike both songs. However watching Hell In A Cell on tv with my boys is a memory I will cherish.

MY EMOTIONS!!!

(in a good way)

Real Shittymorph or not, the very fact that someone is trying makes me believe that everything will be okay.

I really ought to start looking at usernames before I read comments.

I hope it’s really you!

And another one gone, and another one gone, and another one bites the dust

Cause I’m freeeeeee

Free falling…

That’s hilarious, so many songs about bodies free falling from the sky and hitting the floor, like rain.

On your wedding day.

I… I feel so alive
For the very first time
And I think I can fly

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

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.

The one that is always in the back of my mind: Carly Rae Jepsen vs DMX

I love covers AND mashups:

I actually love both songs, and this is the masterpiece I didn’t know I needed in my life.

JFC this is pure entertainment start to finish. Anytime somebody says ‘fair use is BS’ they’ll get this sent to them.

It’s everything I never knew I ever wanted.

Amazing. Ahh, that stupid bleached spiked hairstyle from the late nineties / early aughts. My shame has found me.

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.
