Internet meme? Pepsi Blue? One-link Youtube post? No other description? This post's got it all!

Either Tay Zonday has a near-superhuman ability to laugh at himself or he is the fastest sell-out in the history of Pop Music. Well, he is certainly a Pepper. (And considering I was pleasantly shocked to discover Dr. Pepper's Cherry Vanila flavor was not bad, dammit, I'm gonna try that stuff.)

He and his voice scare me.

Looks like Urkel, sounds like Robeson, Tay has the most impressively mis-matched voice since...

Man.. I hope the /b/ crowd are getting kickbacks or something from this. I mean, they're more responsibility for his fame than he is.

I think it's wonderful! Imagine if you'd never seen the whole meme, the parodies, the remixes, all that, then, BOOM, Tay Zonday is covered with chocolate, singing about Ohio's agriculture (wait, did I hear that right? No matter, I guess). See, that's why this is so great--we internet geeks can look down upon the confused masses and feel all smug and superior. And that's the best Christmas gift of all.

wendell, your right, he does sound like Robeson, I never amde the connection. He should do a cover of "The Four Insurgent Generals."

Cherry Chocolate Dr. Pepper sounds good. And I can't help loving Tay Zonday. He's totally in on the joke.

Oh. But DIET Cherry Chocolate Dr Pepper sounds awful.

Near the end, during the sequence when chocolate syrup is thrown on Tay, is that the big-balled squirrel making a cameo?

Are you fucking kidding? Of course Tay should cash in. Quickly. I'm surprised he waited this long.

Cherry Chocolate Dr. Pepper sounds good. I used to work with a pharmacist who gave up drinking. He still liked to attend parties though, and would bring soda pop for himself to drink. He quickly realized that the drinkers were grabbing his pop and using it for their own mixed drinks. Consequently, he began bringing Canfield's diet chocolate fudge soda, and never again had this problem.

Awful and untalented. And that's not even him singing. The voice is dubbed.

Either Tay Zonday has a near-superhuman ability to laugh at himself or he is the fastest sell-out in the history of Pop Music. I don't blame him for this. I blame the people at Dr. Pepper's marketing agency that came up with the initial idea. They're the ones with the money to burn on this... this abomination.

I'd never heard of Tay until this FPP -- Thanks for the chocolate ear candy, chrismear. Especially weird is his McFerrin-meets-the-Shaggs-meets-Brady-Bunch-Opening-Titles mashup of Amazing Grace/Swing Low Sweet Chariot. Not surprisingly, the Cherry Chocolate Rain song is the least entertaining. Beside the one where he reads a novel, that is.

This Chocolate Rain/Radiohead "Talk Show Host" mashup is way more good than it should be.

Tay Zonday has responded to internet mockery-fame better than anybody else I can think of.

Yes, we know you love chocolate, but there is really no need to incorporate it into an FPP.

Dude is (or was?) a Ph.D. candidate in American Studies at U of Wisconsin. Dude is, according to reports, somewhat nuts in certain areas. I don't think I can elaborate.

I chuckled. Until I realized it was just a big Dr. Pepper ad. 15.01? That was about 4 months ago.

Chocolate cherry anything sounds good to me... even if we are referring to a person. Tay in the raw and keeping it real. I find his deep, sonorous man-voice and semi-androgynous features strangely soothing. In other news, I'm guessing that when James Earl Jones passes, Tay might be picking up a LOT of voiceover work (under his real name, since Tay Zonday is a pseudonym).

I just drank my first sip of this and it tastes exactly like what you think it will... Artificial chocolate with reddish bubbles on top. I still love you Tay
