Moments ago I read about a new version of Weather Girls' "It's Raining Men" song.
The headline reads:
It's Raining Them?! Weather Girls' smash hit '80s classic is reworked for the woke generation to make it more inclusive
(to include more inclusive pronouns)
"woke" -- "being highly aware of the things that take place in our society, i.e., racism and inequality," according to one definition.
Yeah, I can be "woke" and inclusive, but I also know -- inclusive or not, I prefer men. And I really enjoy the Weather Girls singing about Men and precipitation, NOT every gender in the world raining on me. :)
I feel a bit better about it knowing the song's composer is okay with the alteration. :)
I love this son, the original version. I don't know what has been replaced and don't care. I love the original. I remember driving and singing this along with the radio.
