The sweet, sweet patter of chocolate rain
by Carmen Van Kerckhove
By now I’m sure you’ve seen the YouTube phenomenon of Chocolate Rain. If not, watch it here and be sure to check out Jay Smooth’s very cool Radiohead remix.
I didn’t think it was possible for anything to be funnier or more awkward than Tay Zonday singing. But as it turns out, watching him just talk is even more hilarious. Check out his interview with Jimmy Kimmel.

This is so embarrassing, it’s obvious he sang this song with a social message BUT NO ONE CARES. Yuck! Western society is a joke. No WONDER hip hop artists don’t bother with social commentary…

Like the blogger (in the link), I thought it was a joke song, but the lyrics are pretty heavy.

Omgosh, so hilarious. Couldn’t stop laughing… it is sad that his message was overshadowed - but obviously, he isn’t too tarnished over that fact, so why should we be?
I want to try and find John Mayer’s cover of it. Off I go to wander around YouTube for several hours…
