Chocolate Rain

WARNING! WARNING!
-Warning Will Robinson-
If you click on the above link you will see the following message.
-This video has been removed due to terms of use violation-
That's because it is linked to a video clip of VH1's, 'Best Week Ever' on Google's, YouTube.
This is the ongoing battle of content and privacy rights. I guess VH1 would rather have people come to their own website to view what they produced.
You can find it on VH1's Web site but good luck...Look here for Best Week Ever on VSPOT; then look for week of August 6th. If you wanted to send a link for a specific video, to a friend, you will have to give VH1 your email address, and your friend's email address.
You will also be swamped with junk mail!!!
They hide the links pretty good.
You could, once you download the video clips, save, and play them on your computer, using your own player.
When you play a file in Windows, it is stored in \Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files. You can save and rename the file keeping the .flv extension. YouTube uses .swf file extensions that can be changed to .flv. Here is a simple standalone cross platform player called Wimpy Desktop FLV Player (FREE).

For Mac or Windows you could use Firefox with an extension like DownloadHelper.

For Mac there are other convoluted ways to locate the .flv file. You could purchace a Safari plug-in called FLVR, or use a standalone utility like Tubesock.
Or you could also use the activity trick: If you go to the activity window in Safari it will show the various parts of the website and the largest file is usually the video file. Also usually in .flv format though sometimes in others. Simply double click the .flv line and it will begin downloading through Safari. You can then convert the movie with Isquint or QuickTime Pro with the Perian plug-in. Or just view it using VLC.
Here are some other free players.

Chocolate Rain Lyrics
:
Chocolate Rain - Some stay dry and others feel the pain
Chocolate Rain - A baby born will die before the sin
Chocolate Rain - The school books say it can't be here again
Chocolate Rain - The prisons make you wonder where it went
Chocolate Rain - Build a tent and say the world is dry
Chocolate Rain - Zoom the camera out and see the lie
Chocolate Rain - Forecast to be falling yesterday
Chocolate Rain - Only in the past is what they say
Chocolate Rain - Raised your neighborhood insurance rates
Chocolate Rain - Makes us happy livin' in a gate
Chocolate Rain - Made me cross the street the other day
Chocolate Rain - Made you turn your head the other way
: (Chorus)
Chocolate Rain - History quickly crashing through your veins
Chocolate Rain - Using you to fall back down again [Repeat]
:
Chocolate Rain - Seldom mentioned on the radio
Chocolate Rain - Its the fear your leaders call control
Chocolate Rain - Worse than swearing worse than calling names
Chocolate Rain - Say it publicly and you're insane
Chocolate Rain - No one wants to hear about it now
Chocolate Rain - Wish real hard it goes away somehow
Chocolate Rain - Makes the best of friends begin to fight
Chocolate Rain - But did they know each other in the light?
Chocolate Rain - Every February washed away
Chocolate Rain - Stays behind as colors celebrate
Chocolate Rain - The same crime has a higher price to pay
Chocolate Rain - The judge and jury swear it's not the face
: (Chorus)
Chocolate Rain - History quickly crashing through your veins
Chocolate Rain - Using you to fall back down again [Repeat]
:
Chocolate Rain - Dirty secrets of economy
Chocolate Rain - Turns that body into GDP
Chocolate Rain - The bell curve blames the baby's DNA
Chocolate Rain - But test scores are how much the parents make
Chocolate Rain - Flippin' cars in France the other night
Chocolate Rain - Cleans the sewers out beneath Mumbai
Chocolate Rain - Across the world and back its all the same
Chocolate Rain - Angels cry and shake their heads in shame
Chocolate Rain - Lifts the ark of paradise in sin
Chocolate Rain - Which part do you think you're livin' in?
Chocolate Rain - More than marchin' more than passing law
Chocolate Rain - Remake how we got to where we are
: (Chorus)
Chocolate Rain - History quickly crashing through your veins
Chocolate Rain - Using you to fall back down again [Repeat]
