"Chocolate (Choco Choco)" is the debut single by German pop duo Soul Control, released in 2004 from their debut album Here We Go. The song was written and produced by Bruce Hammond Earlam and Ned Irving. The refrain interpolates parts of "La Bamba".

A New Mixes maxi CD with multilingual remixes was also released which included versions in Spanish, French and German to increase the song's appeal. The song was a top 5 hit in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and also made number 25 on the UK Singles Chart. In 2007, a Japanese version was released under the title "Oideyo Goringo" (おいでよゴリンゴ) and was the main theme of the FujiTV production Ponkikki.[1] In Germany, their sales exceeded gold status and in the Philippines, exceeded platinum.[2]

Style and composition

This song is predominantly high-energy dance-pop and Eurodance track that incorporates prominent elements of Latin pop, Ragga, and Pop rap. [3] [4] Set to a fast-paced electronic beat, the song is characterized by its simplistic, repetitive lyrical structure and "call-and-response" segments designed for audience participation. The refrain famously interpolates parts of the traditional folk song "La Bamba". [5] [6] The track is composed in the key of D major with a fast-paced tempo of 154 beats per minute. It is built around a heavy 4
4 dance rhythm and bright, synthesized brass sections intended to evoke a Latin carnival atmosphere. Vocally, the song avoids traditional melodic singing in favor of rhythmic chanting and staccato delivery. The verses, performed by members Leo Buck and Tom Quella, utilize a "ragga-lite" style—a commercialized version of dancehall—paired with lighthearted lyrics regarding the universal appeal of chocolate.[7]
