I Move Away From the Mic To Breathe In
"Chocolate Rain" is like one of those worms that burrows into your brain and doesn't leave until you've been driven completely mad. Tay Zonday, creator of said worm, was kind enough to provide a mp3 of the track on his Youtube page. Can't wait to hear the remixes.

Could this be? The pinnacle of inward singing!
I was wrong. It is better. The left hand piece on the bass clef is great. It goes up and down and changes pace and key a couple times. The treble clef part is what it is and does what it does and that is it. Not bad, just not the best part of the piece either. "Turn that body into GDP" is a good line.
My kids are singing this now.
Yeah yeah yeah, me again. Check out his other stuff. Very interesting. Maybe even telling socially. He does some experimenting with "The Rainbow Connection" and turns it into an 18-19th century slave sung spiritual. Very cool. That influence has been in rock and blues and jazz all along but he kinda makes it new agian.
He also sings the infamous Rickroll song "Never Gonna Give You Up." My favorite, though, are his readings.
Check out the spoof: Link
That video is great, Pinksy.
I liked it. The early verses didn't do much for me, but the later verses he did a great job of susinctly and to the beat hitting social issues.

I am also always interested in 'worms' and I don't mean the computer virus or the soil churners, but snippets of our culture that Levi-Strauss identified the characteristics of which our brains seem to latch onto and percolate (sp?) especially how the skillful intentional use of these devices disappears as writing appears in a culture.
Levi Strauss? Really? The inventor of denim? I had no idea he was so prolific.
I hate myself for laughing at fart jokes.
Every time.

and I fully admit to frequently thinking about jeans when I see his name too.
That article is more of his work on mythology, he chased a myth through a whole bunch of different forms and transmutations through south america, using the permutations of the myth to track the spread of the original peoples,
but another branch of his work there was looking at how non-literate cultures used certain language techniques to 'solidify' the stories they were telling.
If you have to remember something, and can't write it down, being able to turn into a song that gets stuck in your head repeating over and over would be a pretty good trick.
