Last week Jim gave us General Length or Size of Things, and everyone was supposed to choose a song that contained one these prompts Long/Short/Small/Tall in either the title or the lyrics. This week we have the weather-related prompts of Breeze/Cloud/Sky/Wind and the song that you choose must contain one of these prompt words in either the title or the lyrics.
Well, we certainly get a variety of weather here on the East coast of the UK!
I’ve got sky in the lyrics here, and offer a bit of fun from 1982 by The Weather Girls, but enjoy Geri Halliwell from 2001 and feel really tired at the end of the clip!!

Hi – Hi! We’re your Weather Girls – Ah-huh –
And have we got news for you – You better listen!
Get ready, all you lonely girls
and leave those umbrellas at home. – Alright! –
Humidity is rising – Barometer’s getting low
According to all sources, the street’s the place to go
Cause tonight for the first time
Just about half-past ten
For the first time in history
It’s gonna start raining men.
It’s Raining Men! Hallelujah! – It’s Raining Men! Amen!
I’m gonna go out to run and let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet!
It’s Raining Men! Hallelujah!
It’s Raining Men! Every Specimen!
Tall, blonde, dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean
God bless Mother Nature, she’s a single woman too
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do
She taught every angel to rearrange the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy
It’s Raining Men! Hallelujah! – It’s Raining Men! Amen!
It’s Raining Men! Hallelujah!
It’s Raining Men! Ame———nnnn!
I feel stormy weather / Moving in about to begin
Hear the thunder / Don’t you lose your head
Rip off the roof and stay in bed
God bless Mother Nature, she’s a single woman too
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do
She taught every angel to rearrange the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy
It’s Raining Men! Yeah!
Humidity is rising – Barometer’s getting low
According to all sources, the street’s the place to go
Cause tonight for the first time
Just about half-past ten
For the first time in history
It’s gonna start raining men.
It’s Raining Men! Hallelujah! – It’s Raining Men! Amen!
It’s Raining Men! Hallelujah! – It’s Raining Men!
Great song and perfect for today. I have never seen this video – it is the classic 80s sound.
Thanks Maggie. Geri certainly put some umph into it!
This is really an energetic song and the video is fascinating, thanks for choosing this Di as it was real fun to watch.
I felt very tired after watching it!!
A wonderful treat! I have never been able to resist this song’s ‘get up and dance’ quality. Yep… knocked over my coffee. LOL
It is a foot tapper isn’t it. Flashdance immediately came to mind, but all that energy!!
Oh what a great choice and so much FUN! Yippee!
Glad you liked it Melanie. How are you feeling today?
Great choice and a terribly energetic performance showing you in your younger days!
Oh I wish Peter!!! Keep safe.
Hehehe! Great song!
Geri has such energy, though I do wonder if it’s all her!
Great share Di. It reminded me if the Irene Cara video “What a feeling” from the 80s. Gerri did such a great job in this. I didn’t know she was a dancer too. ☺️
I thought of Flashdance too. She’s certainly fit, but I don’t know if she did all of it.
Yes she is!
Love it love it 💜💜💜
a bit of fun. Wish I had that much energy.
💜💜💜
I love that song! Its a good song to dance to! ❤
It certainly gets your feet tapping.
