"Chocolate Rain" is a song and music video written and performed by Tay Zonday, a singer and songwriter. After being posted on YouTube on April 22 2007, the song quickly became popular with over 29 million views as of September 27, 2008, and has gained further popularity thanks to the help of a recent South Park episode that features his likeness. The music video portrays a bespectacled Zonday in a recording studio wearing a white T-shirt and singing into a condenser microphone. Occasional cutbacks to Zonday playing a digital piano are also shown. The video is also famous for a caption displayed early in the video "**I move away from the mic to breathe in", which has been parodied many times. The song, and its writer/performer, attracted major media attention.
