Okay so Tay Zonday is known to be a popular youtube musician/singer, whatever you want to call him. His song "Chocolate Rain" stumped me dry.gif and I was quite freaked out with him until people started making comments that the song was about racial injustice towards blacks? I could be wrong though. I find it very interesting that a very seemingly simple and odd song like this could blow up and become so popular. He's been on Jimmy Kimmel also.

I'm a little confused.. mellow.gif

idk. i don`t think it`s about racial injustice against african americans. `cause whenever i listen to it all i hear is "chocolate rain *something random* chocolate rainnn *some other random thing*" but his voice is.. o___O but i have no idea why his song is so popular, probably just `cause everyone likes to make fun of him, but whatever. haha, but i loved the john mayer version XDD although the parody wasn`t all that funny XP

His voice is just what gets to me. It's TOO low and it has a weird buzz to it.

John Mayer's version was AMAZING. I couldn't stop laughing! He's a genius
(for those who haven't seen his version, WATCH IT!)

Saying the song is about racial injustice seems like a stretch, but what do I know? haha

There is a whole backtsory as to why the song became popular...simply someone hacked youtube and featured all of his vids and Chocolate Rain Parodies (and there is a whole backstory as to who hacked youtube)...plus the song is hot...lol.
I'M DONE...and soo over the hysteria!!!

John Mayer's version for Best Week Ever (set to "Say it Right" by Nelly Furtado) is so much funnier.
