But this is too weird not to pass on. Chocolate Rain by Tay Zonday.
This bizarre little video is starting to get a cult following on YouTube. Tay Zonday is the next Star Wars Kid. Like SWK, the most interesting part about an internet phenom is not the original video, but all the strange stuff that springs up based on it. For Chocolate Rain, it's cover versions, people video-blogging in an effort to explain what it means, parodying the song, remixing the song, putting an effect on it so the song sound like Darth Vader sang it... It's incredible the kind of effort people from all over the world put into coming up with some kind of answer or comeback to one thing that suddenly gains popularity in an internet filled with literally billions of similar things. So with no further ado, here's a brief selection of what's available on YouTube, making Tay Zonday a internet superstar. Bless you, Tay, for you are now made of win.
Here's an attempt to explain the song.
Here's a kid in his bedroom kinda grooving to the song.

Someone made a rather dull video for the song based on footage of Family Guy.
Sick of it yet? How about this Darth Vader-ised version...
Another attempt to explain it goes awry.

Here's another video recorded from the PSP game Monster Hunter Freedom.
And finally...
The internet is an extraordinary thing.
