"It's raining cats and dogs" came from the actual common event, but you need to think about when and where to best understand.  England and Ireland in the 16th and 17th centuries had thatched roofs on their houses and pubs.  Rats tended to build houses in the thatch which drove the cats and therefore the dogs up to the rafters.  It also rained a lot, as it does now, in the UK; and if the thatch got particularly wet, it would come down along with the menagerie of animals.

I think it actually came from the song. Was created specifically to go along with it. The origin of the dance is actually in dispute right now. See link below.

i really have no idea where it came from. for some reasons monkeys come to mind. i think they were carriers and some human got it and then it just kindof spread from there. it took a while to become mainstream.
