"Chocolate Salty Balls (P.S. I Love You)" is a 1998 single based on the eponymous confectionary from South Park, a television comedy series. The song's vocals were performed by Isaac Hayes, the voice actor for Chef (the producer of the confectionary). It reached number-one on the UK Singles Chart and the Irish Singles Chart, while peaking in Australia at #14. The song was written by South Park's creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, and produced by Rick Rubin. Chef Aid: The South Park Album features the song.
The name of a chocolate candy Chef made named, "Chcolate Salty Balls" leads to a series of double entendres involving Chef's testicles. Cartman says, "I love your chocolate salty balls, Chef!" This is followed by Kyle who gushes, "You've got the best balls in the whole world, Chef!" Chef, voiced by late singer Isaac Hayes, also sings a related song that continues the sexual references:
Your tongue will move down south."
The song also contains the line "Well, that don't confront me none as long as I get my rent paid on Friday", lifted almost verbatim from the classic blues song John L's House Rent Boogie by John Lee Hooker.
Chocolate Salty Balls (P.S. I Love You) reached number-one on the UK Singles Chart and the Irish Singles Chart, and was also a top 20 hit in Australia, peaking at #14 in February 1999. The song was never played on the BBC's weekly TV chart show Top of the Pops, despite hitting number 1, because it hit number 1 in Christmas week, when there was no show. This saved some embarrassment in showing the innuendo-filled song during prime-time family TV.
