History

This is considered one of his most notable songs, and a popular song in Roblox.[5] It was adapted into a mobile game in 2014.[6]

It was eventually adapted into a book by Harper Collins in June of 2021.[7][8] It was also featured on This Might be a Podcast.[9] The song, along with "Baby Shark", were used by the West Palm Beach authorities to deter homeless people from staying at a park during the night.[10][11][12] Upon hearing of its usage, Gripp requested the city stop using his song and made donations to local homeless shelters.[13][14]

A Christmas rendition of the song titled "Raining Tacos (On Christmas Eve)" was released on Gripp's album Jingle Burgers – A Parry Gripp Christmas Album (2020).[15]
