"Late Show with David Letterman" musical director Paul Shaffer stopped by CBS's THE TALK and shared the story of co-writing the song, "It's Raining Men" and reveals how it ended up on the 1984 workout album, "Arnold Schwarzenegger's Total Body Workout."

Later, Shaffer expresses gratitude for the success of "Late Show with David Letterman" run and reveals why he'll be a guest on the show tomorrow night.

Explains Shaffer, "I made a rock video...and I redid the tune "On Broadway" because I just felt like this is my story. I started on Broadway in 1984...now my name is actually in lights...so that record is sort of my story. I'm going to show it tomorrow night."
