History[edit]
According to Gripp, "Raining Tacos" is his most popular song.[5] It was adapted into a mobile game in 2014.[6]
"Raining Tacos" was also adapted into a book by Harper Collins in June 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]
