I randomly sing, “God bless Mother Nature, she’s a single woman tooooo!” 😂😂😂
This biggest irony from this video is that the most controversial part from it was their weight /appearance and not the overtly gay content. 😂
Martha Wash is the GOAT! EVERYBODY DANCE NOW!
I swear them girls can SANGG!!
@@Tainuska Yes, they are now… but the originals (the ones in the video) are two good friends that knew each other from church.
I am laughing so hard.I was thinking : what could be number 1?? BUT OF COURSE!!!!!! What a tune!
"I Am What I Am" could have been an option.
I’m so glad y’all enjoyed this classic from 1982. I’ve always loved the song and video. One of the earliest music videos (MTV aired its first video in 1981). The visual effects are so clunky and basic but shout out to them for attempting it. Fun fact: Martha Wash, the one’s whose head goes flying off, was the vocalist for C&C Music Factory (Everybody dance now!). She’s a magnificent singer. Thanks for the über fun reaction. Happy Pride everyone!!
may have not aged the best but it's still so fun and camp that it still holds up in that way
and black box.
She was also the vocalist on Blackbox's Dreamland album, the one that spun of the Billboard Hot 100 singles Everybody Everybody, I Don't Know Anybody Else and Strike It Up. She also did the vocals on Seduction's Top 40 single (You're My One and Only) True Love.
Actually to correct @bsealy1 (sorry), Martha Wash was conned into laying down vocals for a project she thought was going to be under her name. Then when she saw the video for "Gonna Make Ya Sweat" and someone else lip-syncing to her voice she sued. During the law suit she appeared on the Arsenio Hall Show and sang to chorus perfectly proving it was her voice. After she won it was a big change in the music industry using sampling and giving artists their rights & credits.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen you guys so happy reacting to a music video. 😂 This was hysterical, her head flying off into the distance is hands down one of the best things I’ve ever seen. 😆 Incredible!! Thanks Brad S, I really enjoyed this week. 🤩
The fact that you guys love the Camp of this video makes me love you so much more
we danced to this song in the 80s....in the gay clubs...and when the DJ started the intro, the dance floor was flooded within a few seconds!!!!
I used to go clubbing when I was at University in the mid-90's and there was this amazing club called Vague on Saturday nights in Leeds (UK) which was a gay night but all sorts of people were there dressed up in glitter and sequins and feathers and hot pants and wigs and it was incredible. Most nights they would play this at some point and when they did everyone went INSANE! Literally everyone got on the dancefloor and flung themselves around. It was so much fun. This song will forever remind me of those days.
This was co-written by Paul Schaffer too btw. (He was the band leader for Letterman.... David Letterman was a late night host before Stephen Colbert on CBS)
I haven't even watched the whole way though yet, but OMG! This is hysterical! It makes me love this song in a whole different way.😂😂😂
These girls can sing! When this first came out so fun and video is hilarious…. Just makes you smile 😃
I LOVE that you love this. I LOVE that you get it.
I saw Martha Wash perform at Tracks in DC about 30 years ago. I am so old. It is a mandatory trip to the dance floor. We used to call it "heritage music." (Mighty Real, Im Coming Out, Dancing queen, etc).
Well done, Brad S. Ending the week on a BANGER! 🎉❤
This video is 42 years old. Interesting to think that the dancers are well into their 60s, Martha Wash is 70, and Izora Armstead died in 2004.
This song brings back another memory for me. In the late 90's there was a leather bar, of all places, in Cincinnati, OH. They would have these "hurricane parties."
Everything in the bar was covered in plastic. They had garden soaker hoses suspended from the ceiling. Large fans in the end of the bar. Strobe lights for lightening.
Throughout the evening they would start announcing a hurricane was coming. When it would arrive they played this song. The lights went out. The fans came on, the soaker hoses came on. Strobe lights flashing. People brought water guns. The bartenders would be spraying water at people from the soda hoses at the bar. You did not stay dry.
When the lights went out things got rather scandalous. The whole thing was a riot.
The fact that the men for the most part come down doing the same wild move is so fkn funny, who made this choice?? 🤣
ok-who are you guys??! literally the most fun, sweetest, campiest, most free and open straight white guys who ever lived?? it is so moving to watch you guys love this the way you do. and to watch you genuinely get it the way you do. the way you should. the way it was meant to be gotten. who raised you both?? how did this happen? there is hope in the world yet! also the fact that you said that it would be an honor to just have these 2 women in your life somehow is so right. it is so moving to hear you say that. you really are such good guys!
to think about the truth of the world at this time. AIDS is tearing through the community. the republicans in power won't help. they say it is god's will. they say we deserve it. the religious right suddenly has a mainstream platform and they are thrilled AIDS is out there killing gay men. president Reagan doesn't say the word AIDS in public until 5 years after the cdc declares it an epidemic. gay people are the enemy officially to them. but no-leave it to 2 black women, a gay man, and a jew (Paul Schaefer wrote this!! An honorary gay man if there ever was one!! thank you Paul Schaefer!! you have given us much!! we are blessed to have you asking us to dance with you!!!)to create this song, package it, and give it to us. a community that needed a laugh and some love.
thank you for understanding the profound amazingness of this song and this video and this moment-no joke for the gay community. you guys really get it! thank heavens for you both!
Song, lyrics, vocals, video. All classics
I saw Martha Walsh, the larger-chested Weather Girl at 'Gay Days at Disney World 20+ years ago, she also was the voice behind C&C Nusic Company for several of their hits, but not in their video.
This might be the best music video ever published
😂
The best fact is that this is Homer Simpson's favorite song in The Simpsons canon. I always found it to be incredibly comforting and lovingly accepting that America's quintessential cartoon dad officially loves one of the gayest songs ever.
Weren't they Sylvester's backing singers?
yes they were
Two Tons of Fun
Who is mother natures partner, Joe 🥰
Father Time 😇
No, 🤨the sun
A whole entire CLASSIC!! ❤ I had to tune in to this one cuz I already knew y’all would be soooo tickled by this song & video. 😂 These ladies took such a hilarious topic & sang the hell out of it!! Will never ever forget this song.
What a fun reaction😄!!! This is truly a classic, you have to feel good watching and listening to this!
The "angel" at 2:21, on the right side of the screen, with a white jacket, looks like 1980's comedian Taylor Negron! lol. He was in a great movie with Bruce Willis, from 1991 "The Last Boy Scout".
About 10 years ago we were having a lot of flooding in the UK, and some professional loudmouth on tv was claiming it was God punishing us for gay marriage - so of course the gay community all went out and bought 'It's Raining Men' to try to get it to number 1.
there are no words to describe the level of awesomeness of this video and song. you two came pretty close, you said it all my dudes
Fun fact:
This song was offered to both Barbra Streisand and Donna Summer, but both turned it down (Donna thought it was blasphemous)!
This must’ve been during her religious era! Did she listen to her own music😂
@@FCLaney must have been. It couldn't be "Love to Love You" Donna Summer. lol
@@cocalita03 and you know the song without me even saying it 😂
ohh Donna....have you heard you?? 😭 ...but this song just didn't suit anyone but the weather girls
When Mother Nature is throwing the stars at the angels, one guy misses it and picks it up off the floor. Then later, one of the guys dancing loses his hat and carries it when he exits towards camera. I'm guessing they didn't have enough money for editing or reshoots. Still, it adds to the campy charm.
I LOVE this song! To this day I will bust out singing 🎶I’m gonna go out, I’m gonna let my get ABSOLUTELY! SOAKING! WEEETTTTTT!🎶 I typed it in the chat during the last live. Mike was like “Huh?” 😂
The other part I’m always singing is 🎶God bless mother nature!… And she did what she had to do now!🎶 This song is my jam!
The Weather Girls were knows as Two Tons O’ Fun when they sang backup for the legendary Sylvester. Martha sang a lot of background vocals including Centipede by Rebbie Jackson (written, arranged and produced by her brother Michael Jackson). We’ve listened to them throughout the years. I’m almost certain the weather girls sang a song You Are My Friend with Sylvester. There’s a live audio of it and the weather girls sang the house down!!
Awesome song and a funny awesome video reminding me of a school play 😆
Okay, I've now watched the other 19 minutes of this reaction. Absolutely agree with everything you guys said. I'm going to go watch the video full screen. I'm going to make everyone I know watch this video. Love love love!
Thats the best reaction you did so far, but how can it not be, best music video ever!
The Weather Girls actually changed their name when they recorded this song. Before that they were called Two Tons o'Fun and sang backup for disco icon Sylvester
This video reaction is the funniest I've seen. Your face expressions alone made me crack up. 😭
Of course this was number 1!! They actually filmed this in the dead of winter in New York in an abandoned building.
it's a born classic
It's deliberately ironic!!! The Weather Girls were the backing vocalist for "Sylvester". If you don't know who he is, check him out. He was groundbreaking
Martha Wash, the singer with the longer hair, was actualy one a pioneer and sued C&C Music Factory and Black Box for use of her voice without her image and permission. C&C I remember used her vocals but didnt want her image on the music video... i guess, same with Black Box. Those groups (who i loved in the 90s) were sung from a disco diva that i loved and I just knew who that voice was! :D
You guys really need to have a REN week Most talented artist in forever . His music makes people better people just by listening to it . Andrew Loyed Webber Calls Him the best story teller Hes ever heard . Start with His break out video Hi Ren . Then just throw a dart You never know what your going to get
But it will be Amazing He's just music .Self taught multiple instrumentali
sts Trust me everyone needs some REN in their life . His live one shot videos are winning many awards Including the britsh video awards last week . Last album debited at number 1 in the UK and # 1 Hip Hop and RNB chart in the US charts . This just scrapes one of the many many of his talent .
The ladies startes their career called two tons of fun so apt great tune great fun and amazing voices
Excellent Reaction!! So glad you guys discovered it. Its been around since 1982!
I think i'm in love with Joe 😍
Thank you Brad S for introducing me to this gem of a video 😂🙌
The video and your reaction is FIRE! xxx
The two women are Martha Wash and Izora Armstead. You might recognize Martha's voice from several dance songs/music videos from the late 1980s to early1990s. Sadly, record executives use thinner model-singers to lip-synch to Wash's voice in such dance hits and music videos for 1990's "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" by C+C Music Factory, 1991's "Strike It Up" and 1990's "Everybody, Everybody" by Black Box, and 1989's "(You're My One and Only) True Love" by Seduction. Wash was not credited or paid royalties, so she decided to sue the music producers and record labels in 1991 ... and in 1994 ended up winning and receiving money/royalties and credits.
I like the guys rhapsodized over this particular video for about fifteen minutes after the video ended.
We was cutting up in the club back then 😂🎉
I saw this video for the first time like a week ago and was dying 😂 So glad to see it at number 1, def deserved lmao
Your'e hilarious! Fantastic ❤
If no one has mentioned this before, these two incredible singers were Sylvester's backup singers "Two Tons of Fun" for many years.
Love it. You guys are F U N
Written by Paul Schaefer of Letterman fame. The Weather Girls used to be Two Tons of Fun and they were Sylvester’s back up singers. His big hit “You Make Me Feel Mighty Real”.
Soloist Martha Wash sang on many recordings which stole her voice and replaced her with a skinny lip syncing model in “ Everybody Dance Now”.
I just KNEW Sylvester-You make me feel (mighty real) would’ve been on this list. 😮
Mother Nature said the sun is just her good Judy, not her man! 😂
Donna Summer, Diana Ross, Barbra Streisand and Cher all turned dow this song. One of the writers, Paul Jabbara, literally begged Martha and Izora to recorded it.
I thought this song was banned from the radio at first, making it even more popular.
I love the ending where they complement each other singing i love this two queens❤
I’ve def seen the video before but I never laughed this much with you guys 😂
when this used to play in gay clubs we would do the hand clap lol so camp. gay anthem in every way and spectacular vocals
I was born a metalhead, I'll die a metalhead, but damn - the LGBTQ+ community have put out some bangers.
Think the hand claps really make the song - there's a little space to breathe in it and it sucks you in, it's SOOO much fun - even a straight guy like me can join in (given enough intoxicants). Speaking of which... seriously, no Frankie Goes To Hollywood "Relax"?
No one seems to know them, but you guys should check out The Hidden Cameras - awesome Canadian indie band/collective - some amazing songs and albums.
Todrick Hall did an homage to this song and video in 2021 with “Rainin’ Fellas”. Might be an interesting comparison. (I think you would like the classic better, but it shows how influential the song and video still are.)
this song was written by Paul schaffer the musical director from Letterman. he wanted Donna summer to sing it but a few big stars rejected it until martha wash sang it.
Hey guys, so I was hoping y'all would do a week 2 for MJB. These videos listed are a bit more storytelling/cinematic. I think you two would enjoy.
1. All That I Can Say
2. Deep Inside
3. Take Me As I Am
4. One ft. U2.
5. Whole Damn Year.
All of em are dope. Love the channel btw, been on board with you guys a little over a year now. I always look forward to your reactions to some of our favorite artists. Also, I admire you guys examining of music videos-from fashion, jewelry, locations, etc. Not to mention, y'all are hilarious af frfr. But I hope you guys get around to checking out the list for week 2. Much love & God bless 🙏🏾 🫶🏾🤍 ..
The biggest gay anthem ever!
I also love the remix they did with RuPaul! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Rip to Izora Armstead, shuch a powerful voice!!!
Hello! I’m blane Edwards and I’m Antoine Merriweather. Welcome to men on films.👬😂
i don't think this song crossed the pond but you might like Tom Robinson's sing if your glad to be gay, i think it would have been the first time i heard the word gay used in relation to sexuality, maybe more of a political anthem rather than a bop but well worth a listen
You guys should check out Martha Wash (the lighter skinned singer) and the great Rupaul's remake of the song.
Amem.
Did Martha and Izora "fall" out of the window at the beginning of the video ... or did they "jump" out the window after the raining men ... and were in such a hurry that they didn't have time to lift their feet? 🙂
Have you guys ever done videos by David Lee Roth? Super funny!
They updated the song in the 90's with RuPaul. It's a pretty good version. You should check it out.
*Shot on Nintendo Megadrive*
☔️✨💎
You better sing Aunty Martha and Aunty Izora! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
The video was made before MTV, before the art of the music video. Some of the 70's stuff was rough, it was bad lol, but this is a cult classic. FYI - Paul Schaffer, band leader of Late Night with David Letterman cowrote the song. Yeah, it's so bad it's fantastic and every gay bar across the world played it.
David Letterman's bandleader, Paul Shaffer, ostensibly a straight man, wrote this, just so you know lmao! How's that for interesting?
Strisand and Summer ; No More Tears
If it did rain men, knowing my luck, id get caught in a fat bastard downpour.
It is amazing you did an elder pride week but I think you should do a modern pride week too. Ooo or even a lesbian/lilith fair week.
somebody tell him about Martha
Wash please
If you love this, please check out Dee D. Jackson's "Automatic Lover" from 1979. Even if you don't react to it on your channel, just watch it in your spare time. You will not be disappointed.
So no Donna S on the pride list? 🧐 On a side note every time I see Martha I hear “Everybody Dance Now” and “When I Said It Was Over You Aimed At My Heart…”
Martha sang the vocals for those songs and was not credited until much later.
Last dance was written by the same person who wrote its raining men. So it's kinda like Donna made the list 🤔
@@panbaiye Nope. Their voices make the songs not the writers.
@jobuck879 you are right, DS is incredible! Im considering donna summers' last dance must have influenced its raining men, two amazing and iconic songs.
Where’s the Normani reaction?
A few days back
The Martha Wash ft RuPaul version is so much more catchy lol
You must be on crack.
Are these guys gay? Just asking because they are both cuties and now doing prideweek? 😅 🤞🏼
Where is Boy George/ Culture Club 😮
