It was PlayedForDrama, as they also sing about how they want all of their pain to go away, and wish for a perfect utopia where they don't have to fight.
*** FridgeBrilliance: The opening of the show is also a ShoutOut to a nursery rhyme, "What are little girls made of".

* According to Music/JohnLennon, Music/TheBeatles' song "Rain" is a mockery of this mindset and general excessive griping about weather.

* In one level of ''[[GearsOfWar Gears of War 2]]'', Marcus and Dom must stay in shelter or be torn to shreds when a rainstorm turns to deadly "razor-hail".
