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.

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling

Gotta make you understand
  
== Lyrics ==
+
Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down
 +
Never gonna run around and desert you
 +
Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye
 +
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
  
Chocolate Rain;<br>
+
We've known each other for so long
Some stay dry and others feel the pain;<br>
+
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
Chocolate Rain;<br>
+
Inside we both know what's been going on
A baby born will die before the sin
+
We know the game and we're gonna play it
  
Chocolate Rain;<br>
+
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
The school books say it can't be here again;<br>
+
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
Chocolate Rain;<br>
+
The prisons make you wonder where it went
+
  
Chocolate Rain;<br>
+
Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down
Build a tent and say the world is dry;<br>
+
Never gonna run around and desert you
Chocolate Rain;<br>
+
Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye
Zoom the camera out and see the lie
+
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
  
Chocolate Rain;<br>
+
Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down
Forecast to be falling yesterday;<br>
+
Never gonna run around and desert you
Chocolate Rain;<br>
+
Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye
Only in the past is what they say
+
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
  
Chocolate Rain;<br>
+
(Ooh give you up)
Raised your neighborhood insurance rates;<br>
+
(Ooh give you up)
Chocolate Rain;<br>
+
(Ooh) never gonna give, never gonna give (give you up)
Makes us happy 'livin in a gate
+
(Ooh) never gonna give, never gonna give (give you up)
  
Chocolate Rain;<br>
+
We've known each other for so long
Made me cross the street the other day;<br>
+
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
Chocolate Rain;<br>
+
Inside we both know what's been going on
Made you turn your head the other way
+
We know the game and we're gonna play it
  
Chocolate Rain;<br>

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
History quickly crashing through your veins;<br>

Gotta make you understand
Chocolate Rain;<br>

Using you to fall back down again

Its the fear your leaders call control

Worse than swearing worse than calling names;<br>

Say it publicly and you're insane

No one wants to hear about it now;<br>
