Who is Tay Zonday??

OK, I've had the "pleasure" of listening to his damn song Chocolate Rain at least once a day.. I won't mention any names, or why a certain somebody I know loves hitting up Youtube and playing this song EVERYDAY..

Result: The song sticks like unwanted gum to your butt and you find yourself singing "Chocolate Raaaaaaaaaain" in a strange baritone voice every other minute... Sad but true.


Tay Zonday (real name Adam Bahner), is a 25-year-old student in American Studies at the University of Minnesota who writes music in his spare time and uploads them onto sites like YOUTUBE, where he has gained his fame..

Yep folks as of today he's had
5,818,526 views, and made appearances on The Opie and Anthony radio show on XM Satellite Radio and on Jimmy Kimmel. (why do I feel another William Hung fever coming on??) There are also zillions of tribute videos including one by singer John Mayer.

Aside from his song (which is apparently about racism) what's been drawing people to this unlikely "artist" is the fact he looks like a 12 year old, has the voice of a baritone opera singer (natural) and a very unusual way of taking breaths between words whilst singing...

Anyway enough blabbing by me, below is his video if for some extremely strange reason you have somehow missed out on the phenomenon known as Tay Zonday.
