Since it came out about a year ago, it has been covered and spoofed hundreds if not thousands of times. Here are some of the highlights:
- Performed by McGruff the Crime Dog.
- Spoofed by Darth Vader (who everyone thinks Tay sounds exactly like)
- Covered by a some metal band called Ryashon.
- Covered in DEATH METAL ("Chocolate Reign") - funny.
- Remixed by John Mayer.
- Covered by Green Day's Tré Cool (with Billie Joe on drums)
- Covered by Jabba the Hut.
- Performed live by Tay himself on Jimmy Kimmel.
- Tay on episode of South Park.
- Dr. Pepper hired him to do this gig:
- It was even used in a Verizon commercial:
I hadn't seen that much coverage and spoofage since the original Star Wars Kid.
Anyway... Today, Chocolate Rain was given new very important significance and meaning for us here at Razor when we were awarded a very prestigious contract from our new friends at TrustMe Security.
TrustMe is a provider of secure communication solutions that protect the confidentiality of emails and email attachments for individuals, professionals, corporations and organizations. Email security is something that we are not really talking much about right now, but we will be. You would not believe how easy it is for someone with very little computer knowledge to intercept, read and exploit your emails as they travel completely unprotected thru cyberspace.TrustMe is going to fix that (among other things) and we've been hired to help spread the word.
So... back to the cake... To celebrate this big event for us, and as a little inside joke, Andrew MacKinnon from TrustMe brought us this delicious cake to our 9am meeting:
Very amazing company and very cool client. Never has chocolate cake tasted so good for breakfast on a Monday morning! Thanks Andrew! We're so stoked (and that's not the icing sugar talking)!Stay tuned... In the next year, you will be hearing a great deal about these folks... local, nationally, and internationally!
Get out your umbrellas cuz "...some stay dry while others feel the pain..."
