NOTE: I know I'm reeeally late to the game on this thing, but I couldn't find a necrotised thread to bump (I used Google), but I have to comment.

For those of you like me, who don't have a clue:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwTZ2xpQwpA ("Chocolate Rain" by Tay Zonday. No, he's not a teenager, he's actually a 25 year old man.)

I then saw the spoofs, etc and I see it's become another internet phenomenon.

I also get that Chocolate Rain is about racism...but uh...

WHY? Why on Earth did we let something like this grow to such legendary proportions? It's been Best Week Ever'd by VH-1, etc.

Am I missing something here? lol

Saw this a month ago. Pretty funny, and good.

I prefer this version over the original.

well, we let all kinds of losers become internet phenomenon, but i reckon this guy is a good songwriter

'chocolate rain' is poignant and ballsy and 'someday' has quite beautiful lyrics.

maybe if people like this get thrust to the top then all the britney spears' might go away. :-?
