The fact you wrote a song that was funny to me as a child but extremely deep and moving to me as an adult is incredible.

People talking about how the message was missed yet they’re here listening to it again and got the message this time. He did it the right way. This will forever be an iconic song due to its uniqueness.
This song came out when I was in middle school and man the lyrics hit pretty hard now that I’m older. This was actually a literal masterpiece and it’s good to know that this song is still getting the recognition it deserves
the songs actually really deep but him moving away to breathe from the microphone always gets me lol someone said in the old comments it looks like he's not suppose to be there and is looking out for security 😂
And only now as an adult, 15 years later, do I realize that Chocolate Rain is a protest song and not just a meme about moving your head away from the mic and chocolate raining from the sky. Glad I came back to this. TY Tay Zonday!!!
this is so fucking incredible. wish when i was 3 i could’ve understand it. the lyrics are masterful, the melody is simply beautiful and effective. still rings true today. you’re a visionary.
People commenting that he was ahead of his time. No he wasn't, we just weren't listening tell the scanners. We weren't listening tell the protests. We weren't listening tell people reminded us that people have been singing and screaming about this for years. This song is just one of the most upfront yet hidden song I can think of to say it. We all know it we all meme it. That's probably way out was chosen for the scanners. He wasn't ahead of his time we were just too naive. I may be white and not fully understand the meaning but jeez do black lives matter.
What’s with all the recent comments? Did we all have the same collective audio craving to listen to this just now? On December 21, 2024? I was expecting to come to this old gem and see comments that were 10+ 15+ years old.
Did you get recommended a short about him and then come here or something? Literally just had it happen to me and now I’m seeing your comment here. It’s so strange how seemingly large the internet is, yet here we are, on an ancient UA-cam watching it within the same hour. Crazy
So do I, but I think we tend to sum up that era based on the classics. Gotta admit a majority of the videos at the time were either bland or bizarre, and not the good bizarre like this vid lol
Watching this at 13 and now 29 is such a difference. Never realized the power and pain behind the lyrics back then. It's subtle without being subtle. Such a good song!
First heard this song when I was like 8 thinking it was famous because of his voice. watching it now all these years later hits so hard. this is a masterpiece. timeless. youtube's 18 year playlist appeared outta nowhere but I'm happy it's here because rewatching years later as an adult is special❤🍫🌧
I've been practicing trying to replicate the super deep bass singing from "Hoist the Colors" and the back of my mind, I remembered Chocolate Rain had a nice bass vocal I could practice to without destroying my vocal cords.
These lyrics are actually so thoughtful, I've never heard more than clips of this song but I do not regret listening while reading along to the lyrics. Such an insightful masterpiece.
When I was a kid I just thought this was a funny song about chocolate falling from the sky. But now I realize how meaningful and beautiful this song is. Instant classic.
This WAS NOT in my recommendations. Did we all just had the same idea and having a nostalgia trip together? Reading the comments is like a family reunion.
I was confused when a song about racism went viral. Now I'm just surprised that most people didn't even know it was about racism. It isn't exactly subtle.
Statistically I find that not accurate at all unless you have proof this is the most active comment section. It’s a fluke for nostalgia of UA-cam videos of old who were the first “big” stars coming out of YT
The contrast of the quirky video and childish title of "Chocolate Rain" done in combination with the extremely (and very well pulled off) dark subject matter of the song combined with its legacy makes me want to consider this song a modern masterpiece
It aids that in the regard that we look so much to our childhood to hide from current events, where it slaps you in the face that even in your moments of nostalgia the world still had problems.
@@thegoodestboy1223 wtf? How is it nonsense? It repeats the same lyric to drive a point, much like old school blues. I hope you're just mildly idiotic and not an active bigot
Real talk I am just on a nostalgia trip missing the future I was promised when growing up, and am pleasantly surprised to find the context I missed as a child.
This song hits SO different now that i have some meaning, half the meme was having no clue what the hell this was even about but in context… i’m… just wow. “Build a tent and say the world is dry” is such a poignant line.
Incredible song with powerful and relevant lyrics. 15 years later and this song still has the same power it had when it first released and is even more relevant today. Thank you Tay for your talent and dedication.
Its always been relevant, the only thing that's changed is that people are drawing more attention to the issue. Sadly, some people are only just realizing the meaning of this song.
Yep me too. It's weird because I never knew about it until I saw Red Letter Media reference it on one of their episodes a few weeks ago and it was in the back of my mind to look for it. Never did. Lo and behold, UA-cam algorithm read my mind.
I'm sure most people who grew up listening to this coming back (including me) are super aware of the song's actual message NOW, but the writing is frankly chilling... It's crazy how easy it was to miss stuff like "Every February, washed away" and "the test scores are how much the parents make"
To be honest, I had NO idea what the song was about, so I thought the lyrics were really random. But once I understood, the lyrics are really great imo!
Haven't seen this in years and randomly felt like checking it out again, I had never realized the profound and serious message behind the lyrics. Its crazy to me how such an earnest and deep song became a meme.
"history quickly crashing through your veins" is such a powerful line

Because today ppl are doing anything and everything for attention. Back then ppl were being themselves and having fun.

Same! Crazy how so many people suddenly remembered this song 😂
Strangely enough, according to other comments, it's happening every day for at least 3 weeks or so 🤔
Anyone back after hearing abt what this song is actually about
Same
Me too
To be honest, I had NO idea what the song was about, so I thought the lyrics were really random. But once I understood, the lyrics are really great imo!
They legitimately really good exept for chocolate rain every other bar
same here
@@daario4278 right it makes it so annoying to listen to
Anyone knows what this song means because the chocolate rain part is the only part I understand
@@YourHQ its about systemic racism
anyone else surprised this doesn’t have more views? 137 million seems low for how legendary and popular this was.
no
it was stolen and place all over, happens to alot of memes
Bro had a Dr.Pepper commercial he reached more people than we know.
interstate 8 pfp respect

I like the part where he says “chocolate rain”
me too!
us
Which time out of 1,000 times was your favorite?
@@christopherwalkinalloverya5824 y’know that one part where he says “chocolate rain”
@@lettuceboy2392 no no the best one is 'chocolate rain'
Ok yeah it’s very obvious what the songs about coming back to it after my frontal lobe developed
Being reintroduced to this song as a lowkey protest song is such a 2020 thing to happen.
They had it blasting on Chicago PDs scanners, which made me come back to this... Well done, hacker dudes.
Quarantine Green lmao same
Quarantine Green me too 🤣 I love the internet sometimes
K came from ankymunus
ISSA ANTHEM 🔥🔥
People say that Bodies by Drowning Pool is the UA-cam anthem. I feel as if this is really it.
+Sir5EsQ_ Ever heard of "Dreamscape" or "Paralyzer"?
TheShinyPawniard Heard both. Still going with this though.
It's definitely Darude- Sandstorm
+Wallard Hanson Darude- Sandstorm is Reddit or Twitch's theme song
+AzureReaperZ about damn time someone said it
It's crazy how no one reads the lyrics. When I was young I thought it was about poop but holy crap it is deep. Still 10/10
same man. I never realized what it really meant until recently. I used to think it was just literal chocolate rain.
You was right when you was young
@@jondoe5323what does it mean?
@@BooshtarAfrican Americans in the United States, obviously how bad they were treated originally
its about poop
Blonde hair Tay Zonday doesn't exist, he can't hurt you.
Saw the Interview too?
😂 bro absolutely called me out
Saw the interview and came back
@@odetojoy1663you were caught crossing the border huh? Walked right into that imperial ambush
@@-Mushroom_Kid- I used to be an adventurer like you then I took an arrow to the knee.
Haven't seen this in years and randomly felt like checking it out again, I had never realized the profound and serious message behind the lyrics. Its crazy to me how such an earnest and deep song became a meme.
The lyrics are actually pretty on-the-nose and, frankly, obvious. It's pretty amateurish, from the composition to the lyricism, in my humble opinion
@@nelsonnicholson6175 thanks Lorax pfp
@@nelsonnicholson6175 I’d say ‘you make a better version’ but I’m scared you actually would after seeing that piano video
@@grcrepps lmfao i think we all (everyone on UA-cam) watches the same 4 or 5 UA-camrs i swear
The fact that this song is about systemic rascim completely went over all our heads
Not over mine, but yeah most people thought "oh haha he says chocolate rain weird lemme show this to my friend"
@@sharkboot dont care didnt ask
@@scatological2538 cared enough to comment :)
It really didn't. I made fun of his simple ignorant lyrics years ago and I still do.
@@rareosts5752 Why is his lyrics "simple and ignorant" as I see it, it has a lot of depth to it, and the way he used metaphores is pretty clever.
See y’all in another 3 years
I’m gonna be honest, this is my first time, and I searched up the song “sixteen tons”, got his cover, and found this.
Lol
You forgot a 1
do NOT edit this lol
Yup
I was summoned on December 21st 2024 to listen to this.
yep
Same here
Real
What?? That's the exact same date I came here and watched this...
My guy has some sixth sense
Yooo
