I had no idea how popular this song was. Strange that I heard a remix by another artist first before finding the original song. Enjoy! :)

Quite a unique vocalist. Released under Creative Commons License.

Bonus song, "Explode"

Not sure which is better, but I'm leaning towards Explode.

He looks likes he's got a cucumber up his ass and he's struggling to keep it there by muscle control. Imagine if Madge sank like that, "Holiday" then jerks away from microphone. At lease it proves he's not lip synching (however you spell it).

Have you heard vanilla rain also good.

I'm waiting for someone to do peanut and jelly rain now that would be great.

Well, at least Explode was back in May of this year. :P

Never liked Tay Zonda's music, I think its due to the repetition of his style and lyrics. Personally music has to be more dynamic for me to listen to it, my psyche gets bored and annoyed easily by repetitive beat and lyrics.

Do you like experimental perchance?

Edit: ...or progressive Trance for that matter.

To be honest the whole DJ compilations have never been part of my music collection.

Used to listen to punk and ska, then moved to alternative, now I seem to like music that uses instruments in unconventional ways, symphonic rock, power metal and modern folk.

Your musical taste are very close to mine.

I have to admit, I'm more into electronica myself. I use to be in to music by bands like Sum 41 (punk) and Linkin Park a few years back, but after hearing artists like Coldplay and White Stripes being considered top artists (no offence to fans of either), I started looking into alternative music. I'm more into the progressive kind (so really, the song better be better than a drum kick and a few repetitve synth notes to earn respect from me) It's out there, just harder to find because it isn't sponsored by the RIAA.

I'll post more of the BeatDrop kind of stuff if I find it, though I'll stick to anything progressive in general since it's easier to like that kind of stuff. I have over a year of radio experience and, strangely enough, it's helped me be able to find this kind of stuff. :)

I was going to give you rep for bashing the white stripes but it wont let me. My god I never understood their appeal, they are so repetitive and annoying. Seriously its a bloody two member band. Its bands like that who push me further and further away from the radio.

Heheh, glad I'm not alone on that here. :D I heard their Seven Nation Army song and all that it has going for it is a guitar riff that went nowhere. There was another song they did and the only thing that was going for it was that *brrddik* *brrddik* sound. WTF? That's not a song, that's just an ordinary sound a buitar makes when you hold down all the strings. If you call that talent, then I should be topping Beethoven and several other musical legends of all time combined! (though yes, my music has been successful by about 172,000 downloads at this point... just not THAT successful or I'd be in the trillions by now, heheh)

White Stripes sucks and so does not being able to give rep. enough. I've had several moments where I was going to give rep, but it wasn't letting me. :(

he's got his own remix to Chocolate rain....

its called Cherry Chocolate Rain

**curlywagner** · October 20th, 2008, 12:17 PM

Personally, I like the White Stripes and think Jack White is a fantastic guitarist. I'm a guitar player myself.

*brrddik* *brrddik*

I think you're referring to the sound of muted strings when they're strummed, rather than "an ordinary sound a buitar makes when you hold down all the strings".

Each to his own, I guess.
