Music “Chocolate Rain”—My Vote for YouTube Song of the Year

Posted by Wm. Steven Humphrey on Fri, Jul 27 at 2:19 PM

Watch this, and prepare to be befuddled by one question and one question only: “What is UP with this guy?!” Ladies and gentlemen, “Chocolate Rain.”

Do you think he’s really turning away from the mike to breathe, or is he afraid someone’s going to sneak up behind him with a baseball bat?

Is this a scat song?

I'm kind of in love with this guy. I've watched the video three or four times since it started making the rounds, and I'm not sick of it yet.

I watched this a few days ago. And then ended up watching him sing Rick Astley, and then read Tim O'Brien.

I haven't watched him since. But he's been in my dreams.

I love this guy-he looks like he's 12 but sounds like James Earl Jones. The most bizarre youtube jam since "why must I cry"

How does History Crash Through your Veins? What the hell does that mean?

This sing is desperately in need of a B section.

Maybe he thought people were sick of "verse-chorus-verse" song structure and went for the more unconventional "chorus-chorus-chorus-chorus-chorus" format.

I'm glad he's *finally* got a new project and all but I thought the guy from 'The The' was white.
