Parents need to know that this single is the winner of the 2007 YouTube Video Awards in the music category, and has become hugely popular. And while the lyrics are a bit cryptic, the singer himself admits to racial undercurrents.
Positive messages:There's racial commentary: "Chocolate rain/the same crime has a higher price to pay chocolate rain/the judge and jury swear it's not the face" and "Chocolate rain/made me cross the street the other day/Chocolate rain/made you turn your head the other way."
I Laughed Out Loud When I Saw A Review Page for This on CSM
I didn't expect this website to have a review page for basically a viral video. xD
Regardless, I think this song is pretty good. It's repetitive, but I enjoy it. The tune and beat are really catchy. I also like the metaphors used in the song. Plus, it's funny that Tay Zonday looks like a 12 year old but has the voice of a 40 year old (that's pretty much the reason this went viral).
this young boy is a horrible influence. He is talking about how whites used to hurt the "cholate rain" I will never alow my children to watch this ! I saw it for my self and i was amazed !
