Chocolate (The Time song)

"Chocolate" is a funk and soul song released in 1982 by the American band The Time, fronted by Morris Day. It appears on their second album, What Time Is It?. The song is notable for its sexually suggestive lyrics and its extended musical arrangement that showcases the band's instrumental prowess, particularly the guitar work of Jesse Johnson and the keyboard contributions of Doctor Fink.

The song's lyrics employ "chocolate" as a euphemism for a desirable romantic partner, using playful metaphors and double entendres. Musically, "Chocolate" is characterized by its driving rhythm, layered instrumentation, and call-and-response vocals between Morris Day and the band. It is considered one of The Time's signature songs and a prominent example of the Minneapolis sound, a subgenre of funk music that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The song frequently appears on funk and R&B radio stations and is often featured in film and television soundtracks. The extended album version is significantly longer than the shorter radio edit.
