Tay Zonday the creator of the Internet smash hit “Chocolate Rain” (above) won the YouTube award for Best Music Video of 2007. If you haven’t seen the video, you probably have way more sex than I do. Therefore I hate you. The AP reports:
“It’s the new Emmys,” Zonday, 25, said of the video-sharing site’s awards in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. “It’s the next Oscars. The next People’s Choice Awards. It’ll be interesting to see what happens five years, 10 years (from now).”
The next Oscars, Tay? Reel it in there, Interweb singer. That being said, your art has inspired me to write my own version. I present “Chocolate Rain: The Superficial 2 Xtreme Version Remix Jam for the Children”:
Chocolate Rain,
Makes me write about my laser wang.
Chocolate Rain,
If it were real, I’d carry a cup outside.
Chocolate Rain,
Makes girls in bikinis drive the tanks all day.
Chocolate Rain,
Is this song about black dudes peeing?
Chocolate Rain,
If so, where is Kim Kardashian?
Chocolate Rain,
I should really wrap this up soon.
Chocolate Rain,
Holy crap, I want a sandwich.
Chocolate Rain,
Preferably with the mustard all spicy and brown.
Chocolate Rain,
I love to run a joke into the ground.
Chocolate Rain,
Hold on, I think I can squeeze out one more verse.
Chocolate Rain,
Never mind, I’m going to get my Subway on.
USA!

Plain scary
Skeps | March 21, 2008 at 1:10 pm
I wonder if that song made him more or less popular with his friends, I could go 50/50 that they thought he was awesome, or a complete loser with a ridiculous voice
junior | March 21, 2008 at 1:30 pm
I’ve never been soo confused in my life……even after that time when I was 8 and I woke up in the middle of the night with my dad leaving my room and I had mustard all in my hair….weird I know….but not compared to this guy
shadow of char | March 21, 2008 at 1:34 pm
How old is he?

how could a video i’ve never heard of win this award? perhaps i have been having more sex than the average nerd?
toomean | March 21, 2008 at 1:35 pm
Is there a reason he picked Chocolate?
The Easter Bunny | March 21, 2008 at 1:40 pm
I don’t get it. Fuck this kid. *writes on list* Empty basket for the little black You Tube kid.
nipolian | March 21, 2008 at 1:44 pm
This has to be Alfonso Ribeiro’s kid. And to #2…….Do you really think this freak has any friends?
So F-in Bored! | March 21, 2008 at 1:46 pm
If that is the best YouTube video of 2007, we need to immediately disband YouTube. It had a nice run, but now it’s gone too far. I want my 5 mins back!
WTF? | March 21, 2008 at 1:47 pm
I gotta go with The Easter Bunny on this one. If this won, I don’t want to see any of the others.

Sambo the Ass Pirate | March 21, 2008 at 1:52 pm
um, slow news day?
why not cover the story where Jenna Jameson is trying to get Charlize Theron to strip for PETA?
Umbrellaellaella | March 21, 2008 at 1:57 pm
Huh? There’s no nudity, no injuries, no animals… how could this possibly be the best of youtube. At least throw in some kissing lesbians.
Felicity | March 21, 2008 at 1:59 pm
it’s just creepy….expecially when he starts talking about insurance rates?
Rossco | March 21, 2008 at 1:59 pm
This won? Really? Wow, the bar must be set incredibly low, or people on Youtube are overwhelmingly stupid. That could go either way, or it actually could be both…
Famous Plastic | March 21, 2008 at 2:01 pm
He’s got an interesting and marketable voice, but he could use some help in the song writing department. Eitherway, I’m glad (and surprised) that someone with some sort of real talent won
Pavarotti | March 21, 2008 at 2:05 pm
This is a joke right? I could stick a freakin kazoo up my ass and fart a better tune than this shit. Who voted on this “award”, Jerry’s kids?
It's Britney Bitches | March 21, 2008 at 2:10 pm
Hahaha at #17. I never heard this gay shit until just now, and when that kid started singing I actually jumped. I was not expecting that at all. That was a retarded video though. You want to see some funny videos, AND talent, check out Jon Lajoie’s videos on youtube. Genius.
Kim | March 21, 2008 at 2:19 pm
He’s not a kid, he’s actually 25. I checked out his page on youtube. Still creepy as hell no matter how old he is!
T-Dawg30 | March 21, 2008 at 2:24 pm
He is actually a love child of the late Eazy E. For real.

Tay Zonday Everyday!! (btw Fish, his video is working quite a bit better than your site today. What’s the matter? Did the hamster quit running your engine? Try solar, it doesn’t have to be fed.) Tay Zonday made me happy to watch him. He’s a huge improvement over most of the douche singers out there.
Hohoho | March 21, 2008 at 3:04 pm
When did Steve Urkel start wearing such small glasses?
Mr Tom | March 21, 2008 at 3:05 pm
I’ve never managed to watch Chocolate Rain all the way through, but the version he did for Dr Pepper (Cherry Chocolate Rain) genuinely made me laugh out loud.
BDazzled | March 21, 2008 at 3:15 pm
With the face of Akon and a voice like Della Reese, how could he NOT win that award?
HuckyDucky | March 21, 2008 at 3:17 pm

Willups Brighton | March 21, 2008 at 3:57 pm
Is this the right place to call that guy a fuckin’ douche? I hope so.
Fuckin’ douche.
@#15 – Both, dude. Both. Big time.
FRIST!!! | March 21, 2008 at 4:20 pm
Does that song ever end? I don’t know, I couldn’t get through it..
Rumpledforeskin | March 21, 2008 at 4:25 pm
that shit is about 4 minutes and 45 seconds too long
shadow of char | March 21, 2008 at 4:42 pm
Okay, so I juset looked at his YouTube page. Apparently he’s 25 years old but has the looks of a twelve year old and the voice of Barry White… either way, I enjoyed this. If you take the time to read the lyrics, they’re really meaningful and clever. This video definitely deserved to win.
Ryan | March 21, 2008 at 5:10 pm
Meaningful??? Come on now. This kid’s got talent, but this was terrible. For example, check out my poem…
Abortion Rises…
The Dollar Falls…
Scandle..
Nukes…
Iraq…
Obama…
Drugs…
Terror…
Murder…
Hillary…
War…
fin
See? I can be deep too! Where my award?
fatboy | March 21, 2008 at 5:12 pm
Great. Now I’ll have “chocolate rain…..something, something, blah, blah,
blah, something, something……..chocolate rain” in my head for the next two days. Thanks.
Carlos de Paula | March 21, 2008 at 5:17 pm
I guess there is still some hope for my musical career…
mroblivious1bmf | March 21, 2008 at 6:37 pm
so is chocolate rain about being shit on, because that’s what i feel like when i listen to that song.
caljenna66 | March 21, 2008 at 6:42 pm
@34 – Try “Chocolate Rain, makes me write about my laser wang”, I think Fish is onto something…kinda catchy, no?
Viv | March 21, 2008 at 6:51 pm
you bastard, this is going to be stuck in my head now
Kleinfeld | March 21, 2008 at 6:59 pm
Please give me 4 minutes and 45 secs of my life back.
I weep for the future.
vob | March 21, 2008 at 7:05 pm
If that is the best YouTube video of 2007, we need to immediately disband YouTube. Many friends i met on a millionaire dating site calledmeetingwealthy .c o m. think so too. They are successful men and women. We usually talk together.
iHateDemocrateSCUM | March 21, 2008 at 7:13 pm
OH god, just when I thought I had forgotten about chocolate bowel movement
Danklin24 | March 21, 2008 at 7:13 pm
Only three words can sum up that song…
What
The
Fuck?
Wow | March 21, 2008 at 8:44 pm
It would be cool to have this song come on when I lower the toilet seat to take a dump.
lambman | March 21, 2008 at 9:58 pm
I like that this looser, like half of this Paris Hilton generation, is so dellusional and full of himself he doesn’t even realize people are only voting for him because they are making fun of him…man people are so stupid
herbiefrog | March 21, 2008 at 10:12 pm
Only three words can sum up that song…
and a one
and a two and a one… two… three..
fukchocolaterain | March 21, 2008 at 10:27 pm
Just die already steve Urkel.
Donkey Punch | March 21, 2008 at 11:41 pm
Of course most White Americans are too stupid and too hate filled to understand that song.
shadow of char | March 22, 2008 at 1:35 am
@ #47
I totally agree… I don’t understand what people don’t appreciate about the song… if the lyrics, then that really is sad. If the length, then that is also sad. If your attention span isn’t long enough to sit through a song about something so important, then that is a shame.
Honestly, to all the haters, what song would YOU consider to be good?
mimang | March 22, 2008 at 1:38 am
i have nothing against this guy. it’ good but there are way better videos on youtube than this one.
Shockolot | March 22, 2008 at 8:57 am
Umm, it won because it is f’ing retarded. He probably thinks he won because he is a good singer and that is even funnier. William Hung needs to officially pass the torch.

I must get laid way more than you, because I had never heard of this until today. Like a sucker, I watched it. Holy crap! That won an award?
