It’s Raining Men

"" by is featured on , , , , , and . It was featured on as a downloadable track, but became unavailable for purchase following the shutdown of the Wii Shop Channel on January 30, 2019, and the removal of most DLCs from the Xbox 360 Marketplace on August 20, 2023. It was also planned to be on , but was scrapped for unknown reasons.
==Appearance of the Dancer==
The dancer is a woman. She is wearing a lime green raincoat with white buttons and lime green and white flowers, a sky blue-collar, a purple pizzazz glove, a dark pink sash, and dark pink and sky blue cuffs. She is wearing polka-dotted boots that are colored sky blue and dark pink. She also has wet lime green hair and lime green bracelets on her left hand. She has a gray, almost transparent outline (which is recolored to lime green for and Just Dance: Greatest Hits). In the remake, she looks slightly more realistic with a less visible face. In all versions of the map, the coach’s outline is pink around her glove.
During the bridge, the coach gains a different outline. In , she gets green and teal time-delayed silhouettes (similar to the ones in ) when she is doing the uncounted moves at the start of the bridge. In and Just Dance: Greatest Hits, this is replaces with an orange glow which also appears near the beginning of the song during the lines "Hi - Hi!/We're your weather girls/Ah-huh/And have we got news/For you". In the remake, the regular gray outline is replaced with a thin yellow one during these lines at the beginning; however, she retains her normal outline during the bridge.

==Background==
======
This routine takes place in front of a city with brightly lit buildings. It is raining heavily and puddles can be seen on the ground. Water droplets appear on-screen as if you were looking through a camera. Every time the dancer performs certain moves, lightning strikes the dancer.
===/Greatest Hits (Xbox 360)===
In the Xbox 360 versions of those games, the rain drops make a different effect when touching the ground, and blue flashes appear on the city whenever "It’s raining men!" is sung.
===Remake===
In the remake, the effect of the rain has changed again, as it is more visible and rain drops appear more frequently.
==Gold Moves==
There are 4 Gold Moves in this routine:
Gold Moves 1, 2, and 3: Raise both of your hands up, outstretched.
Gold Move 4: Quickly "swash" your right hand such that it almost makes contact with your left hand.

==Trivia==
===General===
*The final verse and chorus of the song are cut from the routine.
*There are two errors in the lyrics: "She took off to heaven" appears as "She took off heaven", and "To rearrange the sky" appears as "To rearranged the sky". Both only appear the second time they are sung.
**In the remake, they appear as "She took on the heavens" and "She rearranged the sky".
*Along with Dagomba, Futebol Crazy, and Alright, this song is one of the final downloadable tracks to be released for .
*Some files for a Mashup and Party Master Mode routine for this song can be found in the files.:File:ItsRainingMen MU and PM files.png
===Routine===
*This song is the first one to appear in the menu of , making it the first song to contain a Gold Move.
*In , the background is still animated even after the routine ends.
*In and the remake, the color of the dancer’s outline is green and blue, while in and Just Dance: Greatest Hits, the color of the outline is red.
**However, the menu assets for the remake apply a red outline on the coach.
*In the original version, there are some cheering sounds at the beginning and at the end of the routine. There is also a blue and green glow around the dancer when she performs complicated moves that are not counted before the bridge. Both are removed in the remake.
**Also, the dancer fades away almost immediately in the remake (and is struck by lightning when she does so) rather than walking away like in the original version.
*In the Wii versions of Just Dance: Greatest Hits, the coach no longer appears with a lightning orb effect. The sound effect still plays, however.
*In the Xbox 360 versions of , Just Dance: Greatest Hits and in the remake, one of the pictograms have been mirrored to show the move better.
*The skyscrapers are farther from the screen in the Xbox 360 version, and the rain has a different effect.
*One of the captions above is named after the artist who sang the song.
*From April 28, 2016 to May 11, 2016, was a VIP exclusive on .
