"Chocolate Salty Balls" Hits #1 In The UK
1999
"Chocolate Salty Balls (P.S. I Love You)" from the TV series South Park hits #1 in the UK.
In the song, Isaac Hayes, the voice of Chef on South Park, sings the recipe for making his delicious Chocolate Salty Balls, which are sure to delight.
The song first aired in August during the episode of the same name. Throughout the series, Chef does many of these musical interludes, typically singing about sweet love, often in culinary terms. In November, the full version of the song appeared on the album Chef Aid, a spin-off from an episode where the town holds a benefit concert for Chef, who has been sued by a record company that wins a lawsuit against him by hiring Johnnie Cochran, who uses his famous Chewbacca Defense.
In December, "Chocolate Salty Balls" is released as a single in the UK. In its second week, it becomes a rather unlikely chart-topper when it unseats the Spice Girls' "Goodbye" at #1. For Hayes, it is by far his biggest hit in Britain, outranking even his 1971 classic "Theme From Shaft," which hit #4.
Across the UK, bakers attempt the recipe according to Chef's instructions, which are a little vague ("one or two bags of sugar..."). With a few modifications, it works, resulting in balls packed full of goodness.
Chef remains a very popular character on South Park until 2006, when Hayes quits the show after an episode makes fun of his religion, Scientology.
