It's making the lists of top viral videos of 2007... but i can't figure out if people think it's funny or if it's popular because the song is cool...i kind of like it.
Is that video CHOCOLATE RAIN supposed to be funny? Because i kind of like the song.?-cool myspace
It's not supposed to be funny but people find it funny anyway.
So why is it popular? The same reason William Hung is so popular. The same reason that American Idol fans love to watch the untalented contestants. However, there are some people who claim to like the song for it's message about racism. But if you ask me... if he made the song because of some lofty goal of bringing awareness about racism in this country... then why would he agree to practically mock his own song on the Jimmy Kimmel show.

And then there's what I call the snowball effect. Since it already gets so many views... it causes it to be a "featured video" on youtube. And that just leads to more and more views. Hence the snowball metaphor.
In conclusion, it's popluar because its so annoying. There's something really wrong with this country when Tay Zonday is more popular than Ron Paul. I'm about two years away from moving to Canada.
