Here's a little tune that will burrow it's way into your brain and not leave even though you want it to. It's equal parts bizarre, inane, goofball, catchy, clever and snot-nosed-college-punk-shaddup-you-little-suburban-brat.
His name is Tay Zonday (already annoying) and he sings kinda the way Michael Clark Duncan speaks in Green Mile. That might not be the greatest comparison but you get my point. It's a very old fashioned, affected way of singing that is sort of fascinating. Some of his lines are clever and even nice, but he's also a dopey 25 year old college kid.
By the way, Wasklewicz found this. He always finds good stuff.
Then watch this. Of all lame video responses, this is the best. Some very good lines in here.

Well, the spoof is stupid, that's no surprise, but the original is really interesting. I wish there was a different verse/chorus to break up the monotony of the same 8 bars being repeated, but the piano has that tinge of Vanessa Carlton, back around 2002 when she had that one hit (One Thousand Years?) that was overplayed for a year. I think this kid is talented and I'd love to hear what else he has written.
