beep beep the jeep the rain
Saturday, May 18th, 2024 03:38 amThis afternoon while working, I was playing music from my phone in random mode. A fun song came on - "Beep beep! Who's got the keys to the jeep? VRRRRrrrmmm...".
After a bit, there was a sound in the background which I wasn't sure was part of the music or not. Upon pausing the song, I realized it was the sound of rain from outside. It had started raining. I unpaused the song and checked its details. "The Rain" by Missy Elliott, on the "Supa Dupa Fly" album. The coincidence amused me.
When I searched for a video of the song to include in this post, the ones I found were a different version, with the "I can't stand the rain" verse right near the beginning. The version I'd been playing doesn't have that verse until more than a minute into the song. I'd paused it to check on the sound (of the rain) before that point, which is why it amused me so much.
I finally found this video with the song matching mine. It includes the song lyrics in the description:
I played the song again while writing this post, and it rained again briefly!
I may not have realized before that the "I can't stand the rain" verse is not Missy Elliott's voice, but rather a sample from Ann Peebles' 1973 song
