Tay Zonday, the star and creator of the YouTube hit “Chocolate Rain” is back and he’s getting into politics too. He has a created a musical message for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama: He supports Obama’s bid for the White House and thinks, if elected, the candidate will usher in better times.

The 26-year-old expresses all of this, of course, with his trademark, clipped, deep voice and a droning synthesized melody. The video was called “Brighter Days,” Zonday’s latest video ups the production value – he’s no longer tethered to those keyboards!

In the clip, he sings: “Brighter days are here / ‘Cuz we declare / that history won’t repeat” while gliding around a park in his Obama ‘08 T-shirt.

Watch Zonday’s Brighter Days below:

Tay Zonday is an American Studies graduate student at the University of Minnesota – also broadens his message with a healthy dose of visual symbolism. (Never have black and white spoons been more meaningful … )

Hurray to American simmer Michael Phelps for winning another gold medal and breaking another record today Friday at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

For those of you keeping track at home, that makes six gold medals – and six world records – in Beijing. (Phelps also scored six golds and two bronzes four years ago, in Athens.)
