      There's a phenomenon I've observed, and I'm sure I'm far from the only one to notice, where the average person hearing a song listens to hooks and choruses (which are often but not always the same thing) but verses don't register at all. Take "It Wasn't Me" by Shaggy feat. Rik Rok, for example. A lot of people don't even know Rik Rok's character in the song decides to apologize to his girlfriend and calls Shaggy's character out on his advice being complete nonsense at the end, because all they remember is "it wasn't me" and they don't even pick up on the key detail that Shaggy is playing the idiot friend who gives terrible advice. Then of course there's "I'll be watching you", "You're beautiful" and who knows how many other songs about creeps that are widely misunderstood as love songs.
      English is my second language, but I knew what Chocolate Rain was about the first time I heard it and thought it was disturbing how people were treating it like a joke and apparently not even getting the very straight forward message of it. I have since learned that those of us who pay attention to lyrics are the weird ones.

    I've always said that. Most people didn't really pay attention to the lyrics of 'Chocolate Rain.' They only laughed at the video. Tay Zonday was on some next shit, with this classic song. The brother was most definitely "woke." While most people were sleeping on the knowledge he was kicking in Chocolate Rain. Maybe they'll see it one day. 💯

      Eternal Void Jesus dude you don’t get it... nobodies claiming every instance was abusive. It’s just that none of that abuse is experienced by white people. Why do you think for generations in pop culture, it has been referenced in comedy, art, movies, music, etc. if several generations of people say it then it’s gotta have some weight. We’re not saying only Black Lives Matter, we’re saying just that they do.
      The fact that you came to watch a video about an anti institutional racism song, yet get defensive like that. It’s not one side that’s right or wrong, it’s down the middle. Some were justified, and a lot aren’t.

I've pretty much been on TH-cam since the year it started, and the entire concept of "going viral" has evolved to such an extent that I have a hard time comparing the "going viral" of 2007 to the "going viral" of today.

      Well the fact that he went viral for a song about racism against black people in the USA should have thrown the whole Indian thing out the window

    It was more "woke" than YA'LL (not I) realized. I always knew what the song was about. The song was ahead of its time. In 2007, the Black collective wasn't as "woke" as it is now.. "Wokeness" had yet to be re-mainstreamed. A decade ago, whenever I'd speak about systemic racism, I'd get looked at like I was crazy for saying the same things that I've gotten applauded for in the last two or three years. Folks were woke in the post-Civil Rights Movement era (late 60s-70s), but afterwards, we went through a long period in which successful assimilation and respectability were the "standards". Now , that we're living in this Black Lives Matter/Black Girls Rock/Black Boy Joy, hashtag era, people suddenly understand the song. It's no longer just a funny song by an unique looking guy with a mismatched voice.

      tincredible lol keep thinkin you are better than everyone else. That is why i said you are the problem. Everyone knew what the song was about not just you. But i guess this is the only place you get to feel like you are smart lmao

    • @tincredible
      @tincredible 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      nick - I vividly remember when the song was released and the critical reception that followed. Most people commenting and reacting to the song's video back then were simply yapping about his voice, appearance, etc. I'm not thinking I'm better than anyone. I'm simply repeating my observation from 2007 and comparing it to today's commentary on the video. I never said that some people didn't know that the song was about justice and humanity. I was referring to what the MASSES were thinking based on their own reactions. I wasn't speaking about what you--a complete stranger--INDIVIDUALLY thought about the song. PS: I don't need TH-cam to "feel smart". I'm accomplished in REAL life. Perhaps you should strive for the same.

    #ChocolateRain
    Some stay dry and others feel the pain
    A baby born will die before the sin
    The school books say it can't be here again
    The prisons make you wonder where it went.
    Build a tent and say the world is dry
    Zoom the camera out and see the lie.
    Forecast to be falling yesterday;
    Only in the past is what they say.
    Raised your neighborhood insurance rates
    Makes us happy livin' in a gate
    Made me cross the street the other day
    Made you turn your head the other way
    History quickly crashing through your veins
    Using you to fall back down again
    Seldom mentioned on the radio
    It's the fear your leaders call control
    Worse than swearing worse than calling names
    Say it publicly and you're insane
    No one wants to hear about it now
    Wish real hard it goes away somehow
    Makes the best of friends begin to fight
    But did they know each other in the light?
    Every February washed away
    Stays behind as colors celebrate
    The same crime has a higher price to pay
    The judge and jury swear it's not the face
    Dirty secrets of economy
    Turns that body into GDP.
    The bell curve blames the baby's DNA
    But test scores are how much the parents make
    Flippin' cars in France the other night
    Cleans the sewers out beneath Mumbai
    'Cross the world and back it's all the same.
    Angels cry and shake their heads in shame
    Lifts the ark of paradise in sin
    Which part do you think you're livin' in?
    More than marchin' more than passing law
    Remake how we got to where we are.

      Leahm Miller Yeah? Please explain it to me, verse by verse, because it looks and sounds like somebody decided to stick a whole bunch of words together in the hope that someone would think it profound. I’ve studied the English language for over 25 years and while I do admire Tay Zonday, his bizarre lyrical ‘style’ makes NO sense to me.
