I've still got full-blown Chocolate Rain fever. Aside from the total genius of the original,
there are some really great spoofs and remixes out there.

UPDATE: Yes, I am very aware of McGruff and Vanilla Snow - they are okay, but not my
top faves. Lots of views on YouTube does not mean it's good. Also, see my new #1 pick.

13. Chocolate Rain on The Simpsons

12. Give it a Closer Listen

This is really stupid at first, but a little over halfway through, it gets insane, and for some reason it makes me laugh. I'm not sure if this is because I've been looking at Chocolate Rain videos for the past 3 hours, or if I'm just really dumb.

11. Dude experimenting with the song "Chocolate Rain"

So ridiculous, I had to include it here.

10. Dramatic Reading of Chocolate Rain

It was only a matter of time before someone did a video of themselves taking a shit while reciting the lyrics of Chocolate Rain.

9. Chocolate Rain 8Bit Remix

8. I Like Chocolate! ("I Like Turtles" Kid Remix)

If you don't immediately recognize what you are about to see, please watch this video first to fully appreciate. I think maybe that I don't even think this Chocolate Rain version is all that funny, other than it reminds me of the original video.

7. The Witness indiepop cover

One of the best musical remixes I've heard, and the observation that Tay Zonday is a cross between Michael Jackson and Jeff Goldblum is great.

6. The Tay Live Crew

5. Spartan Rain

4. Remix for Stepmania

One of the better remixes I've heard, especially with the hardcore "I move away from the mic!" at the 1:44 mark.

3. Ollie Williams (Family Guy) Remix

2. Original Spoof by Russinlondon

At first, you might think this is really stupid, but listen to the lyrics (read them in the description) - totally hilarious. The line about his cousin taking a dog out with one punch is awesome.

Before I give you my number one, I'd like to point out that I watched probably about 300 videos. Most of it is drooly. And some of it is sick as fuck (a video with a picture of Tay over top photos of the 9-11 attacks, with the words "Tay Zonday did 9-11"). I was hopeful when I came upon "Sophie's Rain" - but it was a very sad disappointment. Literally. Nevertheless, I think I found my favorite:

1. Chocolate Rain McDonald's Spot

Pure genius.
