I was sent this link and was told it is a that is really big, I have to think this is some joke. To me William Hung was better.

am I so out of the loop this is something that is considered good? All I can think of every time I see or hear him is the first round of Idol and he would be the one they would try not to laugh.

Is it just me?

[DaJudge]

That was... odd.

This has been floating around for for a while.

It became an overnight hit in Techie Circles when Leo Laporte played it on his syndicated radio show as well as on his podcasts on the TWiT network (TWiT.TV)

Like any other video that goes viral, it gets the original person a dedicated following of several 1000's of people which means it never really dies.

This speaks to the whole "Long Tail" philosophy of marketing and Internet Memes where a niche market of about 10,000 dedicated fans could provide a modest but comfortable wage.

I clicked on a few other of his "videos" and i think that he is just sad.

[Mole_J]

I remember seeing him on The Best Week Ever show on VH1 a little while ago.

I guess Dr. Pepper wanted in with the song to introduce their new flavor, Cherry Chocolate:

What? Ya'll not showing luv to the Chocolate Rain? Kimmy and I love this guy. My favorite version of the song is the Darth Vader mix. Hilarious.

Kimmy and I have been known to break out in a verse of "Chocolate Rain" for no good reason.

[teach]

I really don't know what to say about this.....

I think its funny how he moves away from the mic to breathe in!!!

man, that song goes on forever!

wendy k

[teach]

that stupid song is stuck in my head now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DeWayneTN]

dude, check it out, check it out - dude is doing his thang, dog!

[crispfin]

It's sad, but either me or my brother start singing this song at least once every other day.

[AndyG]

For those who do not want to listen to the whole song, here are the Lyrics

The thoughts in some of the verses are deep, such as the lines saying we blame test scores on children's heredity while it actually has more to do with the parent's attitudes.

"Chocolate Rain"

Chocolate Rain
Some stay dry and others feel the pain
Chocolate Rain
A baby born will die before the sin

Chocolate Rain
The school books say it can't be here again
Chocolate Rain
The prisons make you wonder where it went

Chocolate Rain
Build a tent and say the world is dry
Chocolate Rain
Zoom the camera out and see the lie

Chocolate Rain
Forecast to be falling yesterday
Chocolate Rain
Only in the past is what they say

Chocolate Rain
Raised your neighborhood insurance rates
Chocolate Rain
Makes us happy 'livin in a gate

Chocolate Rain
Made me cross the street the other day
Chocolate Rain
Made you turn your head the other way

(Chorus)
Chocolate Rain
History quickly crashing through your veins
Chocolate Rain
Using you to fall back down again
[Repeat]

Chocolate Rain
Seldom mentioned on the radio
Chocolate Rain
Its the fear your leaders call control

Chocolate Rain
Worse than swearing worse than calling names
Chocolate Rain
Say it publicly and you're insane

Chocolate Rain
No one wants to hear about it now
Chocolate Rain
Wish real hard it goes away somehow

Chocolate Rain
Makes the best of friends begin to fight
Chocolate Rain
But did they know each other in the light?

Chocolate Rain
Every February washed away
Chocolate Rain
Stays behind as colors celebrate

Chocolate Rain
The same crime has a higher price to pay
chocolate Rain
The judge and jury swear it's not the face

(Chorus)

Chocolate Rain
Dirty secrets of economy
Chocolate Rain
Turns that body into GDP

Chocolate Rain
The bell curve blames the baby's DNA
Chocolate Rain
But test scores are how much the parents make

Chocolate Rain
'Flippin cars in France the other night
Chocolate Rain
Cleans the sewers out beneath Mumbai

Chocolate Rain
'Cross the world and back its all the same
Chocolate Rain
Angels cry and shake their heads in shame

Chocolate Rain
Lifts the ark of paradise in sin
Chocolate Rain
Which part do you think you're 'livin in?

Chocolate Rain
More than 'marchin more than passing law
Chocolate Rain
Remake how we got to where we are.

(Chorus)

[TC]

Ok I guess I am just a little too thick... I can not figure out what he is trying to say with this song...

If he gets on Idol he would get that William hung crowd.

but i got to admit I have seen it like three times (once all the way thru) and I already know Half of the lyrics


Choclate rain .... now if i can get the other half
