Chocolate Rain on Youtube. you gotta hear this !!!


Hi guys

Im not sure if this is a re-post but I have to post it. This is well, ill let you decide what it is.

The net community have already started making their own versions of this. Its a song you wont forget, and will haunt you for days to come.

If your gonna watch it see how far you can get before you shut it off........ If you last the whole way you will be haunted for at least a week ....

prepare yourself for Chocolate Rain

Re: Chocolate Rain on Youtube. you gotta hear this !!!


I never said it was bad, but its very repetative, and will do your head in for days to come, now that youve watched the whole thing. Mark my words you will sing it before the days through .....

Come on dude, the chorus and verse are all the same.

"Chocolate Rain"

blah blah blah blah

"Chocolate Rain"

dum dum dum dum dum

"Chocolate Rain"

yada yada yada yada

"Chocolate Rain"

catch my drift its all the same

"Chocolate Rain"

Re: Chocolate Rain on Youtube. you gotta hear this !!!


I've already seen it. I like how he points out how he moves away from the microphone to breathe. And the fact that his singing, while perfectly in tune, is completely free of any sort of variation. It's almost monotone, even though he's singing several notes. I've heard he's autistic, and having a monotone voice is a common characteristic that autistic people exhibit.

Basically, his singing lacks emotion. Yes, I'm a total hypocrite for saying that, as shredding is constantly attacked by blues purists and alt-rockers for supposedly lacking emotion, as I'm sure you all know.

Actually I heard an interview with him on a radio station and he is in no way Autistic. He is a university student who sings for fun and Youtube as it usually does blows it all out of proportion.

This is all over on Opie and Anthony here in the U.S.
They use it all he time during gags...

Choco-LATE RAIN...

Tay actually is a decent piano player, despite the crappy sounding casio he has.
He has another song called "Canon in Z minor" pretty cool stuff.

Oh. I guess the rumor I heard, as most rumors are, is untrue.

I don't know why but I thought by the title of the thread it might have something to do with R. Kelly....

When I first heard the snippet they were using on the radio, I thought it was a Sammy Davis Jr. song...

When I first heard of this, I thought it was a cover of Raining Blood.
