I admit it — it made me a little misty. Got a problem with that?
Been saving this all day, incidentally. Just for you.

Didn’t slubs dedicate this to ace’s half-day retirement?
daveintexas on July 31, 2007 at 10:05 PM
lol. I got a great laugh out of this. I saw this on Ace yesterday or this morning, as said to myself, wow this is terrible - I’m glad AP didn’t put it up. Seriously. That’s awesome, you were just saving it.
Spirit of 1776 on July 31, 2007 at 10:05 PM
Good ,now I have chocolate rain out of my head.
TheSitRep on July 31, 2007 at 10:05 PM
I totally missed it in on Ace’s site. Damn. I’ve been scooped!
Allahpundit on July 31, 2007 at 10:06 PM
You really hate Ace, don’t you?
Blake on July 31, 2007 at 10:06 PM
Ace is jacking a Bradley Fighting Vehicle right now…
Bad Candy on July 31, 2007 at 10:08 PM
I wanna hear him sing OKLAHOMA!
TheSitRep on July 31, 2007 at 10:08 PM
So, when is Allahpundit going to take that “special lady” to a Tay Zonday concert, hmmm?
Blake on July 31, 2007 at 10:19 PM
I like the Christopher Plummer version better.
Joshua P. Allem on July 31, 2007 at 10:19 PM
There is no special lady, alas. Although the soaring basso of Tay Zonday might be enough of a lure to get me to go alone.
Allahpundit on July 31, 2007 at 10:22 PM
Hearing him sing “I’m just a girl who cain’t say no” would warm my heart for sure.
GoodBoy on July 31, 2007 at 10:25 PM
Me too.
Well maybe you should subscribe to Tay Zonday You Tube account?
Mcguyver on July 31, 2007 at 10:27 PM
…the hills are alive with the sound of…
Zorro on July 31, 2007 at 10:27 PM
It ain’t no “Internet Dreams”.
oakpack on July 31, 2007 at 10:32 PM
Haha
Spirit of 1776 on July 31, 2007 at 10:37 PM
Maybe you could take your kitty.
Speaking of which, I think I figured out Allah’s secret Identity, a guy who we never see, sits in front of a computer and has a cat. Gotcha!
Bad Candy on July 31, 2007 at 10:37 PM
Just don’t let him get anywhere near Faith Hill’s groupies or his voice is likely to be raised a couple of octaves.
Guardian on July 31, 2007 at 10:46 PM
Breaking on Fox: Bradley spotted rambling down the streets of NYC looking for stray dogs basking in the moonlight and AllahPundits!
TheBigOldDog on July 31, 2007 at 10:56 PM
We’re all waiting for Zonday’s keyboard-driven cover of King Diamond’s “The Family Ghost” off the Abigail CD.
The bedroom was ice co-o-o-l-l-d
But the fire was bur-ning sti-i-i-ll!
The blinding LIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!
ScottMcC on July 31, 2007 at 10:58 PM
Oh please, you and Ace will be hand in hand with your cowboy hats on.
Anyway, let me be beat the newbies to this: “What is this crap!? I came to this site for political news, I don’t want to see this!”
RightWinged on July 31, 2007 at 11:00 PM
Eh…I’m partial to Tay’s Turbo-Tax-a-rific Get It Back. I’m no fan of rap, but his song has permanently altered my worldview. :-)
Medea on July 31, 2007 at 11:02 PM
*I move away from the blog to breath.
liquidflorian on July 31, 2007 at 11:10 PM
Waive two tickets to a Tay Zonday concert around, and the ladies will all be asking you out.
Blake on July 31, 2007 at 11:13 PM
That brought tears to my eyes.
And not in a good way.
Slublog on July 31, 2007 at 11:15 PM
LOL who would have thought a King Diamond mention in hotair.
so here ya go .
Mojack420 on July 31, 2007 at 11:19 PM
sorry for the back to back post still trying to figure out the link button.
“The Family Ghost”
Mojack420 on July 31, 2007 at 11:21 PM
With some formal training he could actually be pretty damn good.
Killgore Trout on July 31, 2007 at 11:32 PM
I hear there is a certain fitness personality free that day…..
RW Wacko on July 31, 2007 at 11:41 PM
Great. Just great. Ace now has to kill AP, go to the slammer, and I’m out TWO of my daily reads.
Kadnine on July 31, 2007 at 11:43 PM
Yeah, I understand there are some great places where he will get hands-on experience with a variety of diesel engines and power systems.
ScottMcC on August 1, 2007 at 12:05 AM
I got nothin’.
Jaibones on August 1, 2007 at 12:07 AM
Egregious link whorage:
What happens when Tay Zonday’s voice changes?
See-Dub knows all.
see-dubya on August 1, 2007 at 12:28 AM
Damnit! This site would be so much better if an alternative video hosting site were available.
rightside on August 1, 2007 at 1:15 AM
The guy is moonbat though. His name is Adam Bahner, if you google him, you will see some of his nonsense he spews.
firepilot on August 1, 2007 at 1:47 AM
Heart-ache!
someone on August 1, 2007 at 2:32 AM
Oh hell…
God bless you Allah
John from OPFOR on August 1, 2007 at 2:41 AM
I think this video is more Hot Air worthy, its some elderly people singing “My Generation”

Sharp stick in the eye can make the eyes mist
So can a swift punch to the snoot
Karache is Japans revenge for the constant firebombings
EricPWJohnson on August 1, 2007 at 4:32 AM
Enough, already. Either let’s take up a collection to 1) get this guy the lessons he needs to refine his instrument or 2) take away his computer.
This clip proves he’s really a Roger Whittaker wannabe.
Captain Scarlet on August 1, 2007 at 6:27 AM
Okay… for someone who thinks Red State Update is stupid this is getting pretty f*cking ridiculous with posting this weirdo all the time.
thareb on August 1, 2007 at 7:24 AM
Did he actually sing “small and VITE?” Good Lord, man!
robblefarian on August 1, 2007 at 7:26 AM
I can’t wait to hear Tay Zonday sing “Pork Chop Rain” for our friends at the pet food factory.
James on August 1, 2007 at 7:43 AM
You’ve got to let go and let the dulcet tones of Tay Zonday transport you to the cooool zone…
Slublog on August 1, 2007 at 8:58 AM
Tay Zonday is the new Barry White!
Blake on August 1, 2007 at 9:13 AM
No…”Surry with the Fringe on Top.”
The wheels are yellow, the upholstery’s brown, the dashboard’s genuine leather…
Miss_Anthrope on August 1, 2007 at 9:47 AM
This young man has a serious instrument & needs someone to help get him financed & into a serious Conservatory. He needs training….& more ‘Classical’ repertoire because his voice has gorgeous color & he has real ‘presence’. His is a raw talent w/ a potentially huge operatic voice….& his pitch is on.
I hope he is found & I HOPE he trains Classical.
Tay, if you are reading this!…get yourself into a serious music school or Conservatory. Work those scales & long tones,& begin to learn the songs of Charles Ives {http://www.musicweb.uk.net/Ives/WK_Songs.htm } & Gabriel Faure { http://www.classicalarchives.com/main/f.html#FAURE }.
Great & Good Luck!!!! La Gringa
lobosan5 on August 1, 2007 at 9:57 AM
Maybe he is a moonbat, I haven’t tried to look up his politics. He certainly has a strong baritone voice. Like some others said, with some professional help he could be quite a singer.
2theright on August 1, 2007 at 10:28 AM
He can benefit from voice lessons — we all could. However, I think people underestimate what it takes to be a serious classical singer.
Blake on August 1, 2007 at 12:49 PM
unless, of course, one is a conservatory-trained musician/singer.
This Kid has a REAL!!voice….
there is no under-estimation here.
lobosan5 on August 1, 2007 at 1:15 PM
Uh, half the time he can’t sing on key.
Blake on August 1, 2007 at 2:30 PM
My mother was a nun for 14 years. Thanks to ‘The Sound of Music’, I can’t imagine how many times I’ve heard that song. Not like that though.
Canadian Infidel on August 1, 2007 at 6:07 PM
Which may explain why it makes AllahP a “little misty” when he hears it.
Blake on August 1, 2007 at 7:42 PM
“Uh, half the time he can’t sing on key.” Blake on August 1, 2007 at 2:30 PM
no….the few pitch discrepancies were due to breath control…also, his technique is flawed & in need of correction….he has the usual bad habits of a novice…but the voice is real, the is no impugning his sincerity & he clearly has the drive to be found. Really, that is most of the battle.
