Why post a preview when there&#8217;s nothing to preview? Because fuck it, that&#8217;s why. Plus we&#8217;re tired of reading about the economy.</em></p>
<p><em>The trick is finding someone who is willing to guest-write a preview that does not preview anything. After all the A-through-D-listers said no, we went to the deep end of the celebrity pool. That&#8217;s right: The Internet. Who was willing, and available, for this project? Check it out after the jump why don&#8217;t you?</em></p>

I even had time to write a special song for you!  And now I just need to ask you one question. Are you ready for me to make it rain? Are you ready for me to make it <em>chocolate</em> rain?!?! All right, guys. Here goes. Feel free to sing along!!!</p>

<p>Hey, where you guys going? I&#8217;ve got 57 more verses. I even made a cake for this occassion. It&#8217;s shaped like me &#8212; Tay Zonday! Bet you&#8217;ll never guess the flavor. Don&#8217;t go! Dammit. Maybe I didn&#8217;t hammer home the Chocolate Rain part hard enough. But that&#8217;s good feedback&#8230;an artist must always hone his craft!  Farewell, then, mortals!   Look for my follow-up single in stores any time now.</p>
