By now, you've probably run into Tay Zonday's so-bad-it's-good YouTube sensation "Chocolate Rain," nearly five minutes of his big baritone voice, late '90s synths and nonsense lyrics.

Not sure why exactly, but, somehow, "Chocolate Rain" has struck a chord, resulting in loads of remixes, answer versions and covers from unexpected artists.

On the jump, Green Day's Tre Cool takes a stab at it and John Mayer mixes it with Nelly Furtado.

thanks for the link! In fairness to Tay Zonday his lyrics are actually not nonsense at all, though they certainly are peculiarly phrased.. all the lyrics to Chocolate rain have a common theme of prejudice and institutional racism.. It's actually quite a thoughtful song if you listen closely or read along with the lyrics.
