Persistent earworm alert CXLIII

Passing a display of chocolate bars in a grocery store this morning triggered my memory of a Smothers Brothers song, "Chocolate."  I've been thinking about it ever since.  If you haven't heard the routine, it's about someone falling in a vat of chocolate.  The person's reaction is more logical than it seems, on the surface.  It's a satisfying payoff to a joke that's structured in a way comedy routines usually aren't today.
