Tay Zonday
Okay folks. I need your help here. Sometimes I'm fashionably ahead of my time, other times I'm way behind. Sometimes, both (for those times when it's all just a little bit of history repeating). Sometimes I don't know which I might be; this is just such an occasion.
We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;-
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.
Opening lines of Ode in "Music and Moonlight" (1874)
By Arthur O'Shaughnessy
Also used in Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory (1971)
I just found out about our local star, Tay Zonday and his wonderful music. In particular, this gem called "Chocolate Rain". How did I miss this? What a crazy wonderful vocal quality. Clearly it's been out for a while, to have so many parodies of it, but in terms of the eye of fashion, how current is this?
