About Naked in the Rain

"Naked In The Rain" is a hit song performed by dance music group Blue Pearl and released as their debut single in 1990. The song was co-written by Blue Pearl's singer Durga McBroom and producer Youth (aka Martin Glover). It is featured on their album Naked. "Naked in the Rain" is different from most dance songs, as it features a heavier, rawer sound, mostly due to recorded percussion (mixed with a drum machine) and hard-hitting synthesizer riffs not too dissimilar to the sound of 808 State; Graham Massey, from 808 State, was the track's co-producer/remixer. The song was first a hit in the UK, reaching #4 on the UK Singles Chart in July 1990 and later becoming a hit dance song in the U. S., hitting the top five on the Hot Dance Club Play chart. A music video accompanied the song on its release, featuring McBroom performing in a tropical jungle-like scene mixed with scenes in an almost Third World setting, and visualizes the overall atmosphere of the song. In 1998 the song was remixed and released as a single. Entitled "Naked in the Rain '98", the remixed version reached number 22 in the UK Singles Chart.

It's so hot in here, oh
I'm in over my head
Fire fills me, hot and red
Raging like a blood red sun
Fire fueled by deeds undone
Burning and I just can't wait to give a helping hand to fate
Change this crazy world around, first we gotta cool down
Take me dancing naked in the rain
Feel it washing over me, oh oh
Join me dancing naked in the rain
Cover me in ecstasy, oh
Oh oh
Smoke is in my eyes
Drifting from the burning cries
Of those who have no strength to stand
Against the fire in the land
Come and wash away the pain, step into the blessed rain
Cool the fire in your soul, the rain will make you whole
Take me dancing naked in the rain
Feel it washing over me, oh oh
Join me dancing naked in the rain
Cover me in ecstasy
Take me dancing naked in the rain
Feel it washing over me, ooh ooh
Join me dancing naked in the rain
Cover me in ecstasy, oh
Oh oh
Come and wash away the pain, step into the blessed rain
Cool the fire in your soul, the rain will make you whole
Come and wash away the pain, step into the blessed rain
Cool the fire in your soul, the rain will make you whole
Take me dancing naked in the rain
Feel it washing over me, oh oh
Join me dancing naked in the rain
Cover me in ecstasy
Take me dancing naked in the rain
Feel it washing over me, ooh ooh
Join me dancing naked in the rain
Cover me in ecstasy, oh
Oh oh, hey hey
