The song "Chocolate Rain" was the infamous work of vocalist Adam (Tay Zonday) Nyerere Bahner (born July 6, 1982). Zonday filmed himself recording his song as posted the video to Youtube, where it instantly became an internet meme. The somewhat bizzare video was noted for (among other things) Zonday's unusually deep voice, his lack of musical training, the kitsch lyrics (claimed by Zonday to deal with racism), a repetitive background track, and Zonday's self-described "stealth breathing" technique, denoted by the subtitle "**I move away from the mic to breathe in." Chocolate Rain has found its way into YTMND in a number of remixes, spoofs, and various fads.

Build a tent and say the world is dry;
Chocolate Rain;
Zoom the camera out and see the lie
Chocolate Rain;
Forecast to be falling yesterday;
Chocolate Rain;
Only in the past is what they say
Chocolate Rain;
Raised your neighborhood insurance rates;
Chocolate Rain;
Makes us happy 'livin in a gate
Chocolate Rain;
Made me cross the street the other day;
Chocolate Rain;
Made you turn your head the other way
Chocolate Rain;
History quickly crashing through your veins;
Chocolate Rain;
Using you to fall back down again
