your daily reminder that "Chocolate" by Soul Control is a real song

one of a number of weird faceless pop songs that have somehow managed to chart in Europe over the years alongside such numbers as "Who The X Is Alice" by Gompie, "U Got 2 Let The Music" by 'Capella, and "Around The World" by ATC. I made none of those up but would you really know if I did??

Linnea Quigley · 2016-10-06 02:25:31

"Around the World" is rather catchy, actually.

Spain Sun · 2016-10-06 02:26:44

Sure, so's "Chocolate".

They're all just kinda weird is what I was getting at.

Linnea Quigley · 2016-10-06 02:27:06

and there ain't nothing wrong with weird

Jane I am disappointed in your choice of category for this thread

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-10-06 05:14:29

Moved to the appropriate category.

On that note, there's something deeply confusing about how sexual and sexless this song is at the same time. The fact that they're performing for what looks like a mostly unengaged crowd of picnicking Germans just takes it to another level and further underlines the intense late '90s/early '00s-ness of it all.

Spain Sun · 2016-10-06 05:21:08

the song was, in fact, released in Germany. Which I think it may have been a minor hit in? Info on this band is very hard to find.

also

every song in this...genre? is like that. Also check out "Sex On The Beach" by T-Spoon (which I have sampled!). Probably the most chaste song with 'sex' in the title in existence.

Pippi Longstocking · 2016-10-06 05:21:11

The fact that they're very clearly lipsyncing to a studio recording makes it funnier too

Spain Sun · 2016-10-06 05:24:07

I actually fucking love this song, just for the record.

Spain Sun · 2016-10-06 05:26:17

technically nsfw I guess cuz there is nudity but, it's from Europe

Spain Sun · 2016-10-06 05:28:23

now that I think of it "Barbie Girl" by Aqua is also exactly this kind of song

paging @CarnEvil since we're discussing ur favorite jam

I still think it's funny that Sredni had to move this to the correct category

would the term "bubblegum pop" be applicable to this type of song?

Spain Sun · 2016-12-07 01:07:54

No, I don't think so.

Sredni Vashtar · 2016-12-30 23:20:15

It's more like... chocolate soda.

Spain Sun · 2016-12-30 23:49:33

unengaged picknicking middle-aged Germans

scientifically the worst possible audience for any musical event that isn't 5 hours of valkyries written by an asshole

Soul Control sounds like it should be a gospel/power metal crossover act.

Noiman Cascade · 2018-04-20 04:14:32

soul control sounds like the name of the token edgy anti-religion song by a european metal band that normally sings about orcs

Solo Vivace · 2018-04-20 04:18:06

The Money and Possibility of Soul Control

Kenji Nakamura directed that show. I've seen I think two episodes of it? It's really odd.
