If it really were raining men, wouldn't it be safer to stay indoors?

Asked by bob_ (21940points) August 3rd, 2011

Seriously, what’s up with that? “It’s Raining Men! Hallelujah! It’s Raining Men! Amen! I’m gonna go out to run [...]” That just sounds unsafe.

What other popular songs have weird lyrics that bug you?

@lucillelucillelucille Ouch, way to throw salt on the wounds. Slamming into the ground at terminal velocity isn’t enough?

“That just sounds unsafe.” LOL
Pissin’ the night away.
Actually, that whole song is a nightmare.

@ANef_is_Enuf But that song is just so delightful!

But the song Novacane by Frank Ocean makes me want to punt infants.

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies You’ll never know what hit ya! I’m merciful that way. :)

Not only is it unsafe to run around getting “absolutely soaking wet” but think about the cleanup nightmare the next day. If you thought it was bad picking up all those dead blackbirds in Arkansas, I don’t even want to think implications here…

Just heard Toto’s Africa on the radio. It irritates me every time they get to that awkward line
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what’s right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serangetti

Yeah, the line is 5 syllables too long for the music but we’re gonna cram it all in there anyway. To hell with editing.

Ya, I think that the 1980’s video for ‘It’s Raining Men’ shows how scary it would be, though the ballistics are not the scariest parts for me. Apparently even if one stays indoors, one should stay away from windows, too, as women can be sucked out of windows by the event.

I think we should find some way to keep them from crashing to their deaths. In the long run, we’re going to need them.
Maybe trampolines to slow them down or divert them to a nearby body of water lined with rescue boats. Those who couldn’t tread water would be in trouble, but I bet we could save the rest for when we really need them . . . . like to open a jar?

The world would be a better place had this hunk had dropped from the heavens to splatter the lot of these psychotic chimps.

The insurance co.s are going to go under, repairing all those roofs. Like hail damage only in this case it would be male damage. It’s gonna be a mess.

Yeah, if it was raining men, I’d rather stay indoors too. Someone could get hurt. Plus what a mess that would make. Splattered dudes all over the place, with split heads and guts all over.

Way to ruin a perfectly good song. XD

Also, I will do anything for love, but I won’t do that.

First of all, what the fuck is that, and didn’t he just say he’d do anything?
