By this time most people should know who Tay Zonday (Adam Nyerere Bahner is the real name) is. And if the name doens't ring a bell, then the "music video" Chocolate Rain should. The video has been viewed more than a million times by viewers all over the internet. A little over 3 months Tay appeared on national TV and preformed his Chocolate Rain composition. He appeared on Opie & Anthony Show, G4TV's Attack of the Show, VH1's Best Week Ever, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and CNN. His picture even showed up on the front page of LA Times and various magazines.
Even this guy cannot believe all these popularity that he's getting. Thanks to Youtube and his freakishly queer voice, Tay's Chocolate Rain is "prehaps the most listened song in the world right now."- Australian Daily Telegraph.
Just a couple weeks after his TV debut, Dr. Pepper decided to make an official music video featuring Tay for their new product Cherry Chocolate Coke. New video means new song...which introduces us to his new single Cherry Chocolate Rain. This song is just as annoying yet highly addictive as his chocolate rain song. The lyrics of the song and the RAP (Yes there's rap also) are ridiculously cheesy. It's almost too grotesque that you would want to watch it the second time...and more. I don't know if it's the catchy keyboard beat or his mysterious seductive voice that attracts me and viewers world wide so much. Is it because we truly enjoy listening to the song (I highly doubt that), or is it because we enjoy watching guys like Tay making a fool out of himself on national satellite?
But whatever the case may be, people love him. This clueless graduate student of Minneapolis has no idea what he's getting himself into. He is the prefect example of an amateur getting involved with Hollywood. Make my words: there's more to come about Tay.
Does he looks like Janet Jackson?
