The Chocolate Wheelchair Album is a 2003 album by IDM artist Venetian Snares, released on Planet Mu. Originally (and as far as he is concerned, currently) called "The Stupid Chocolate Wheelchair Album", label owner Mike Paradinas decided the title would be pointlessly provocative, so he removed the "Stupid". The album features a variety of samples: Abomination Street samples the theme of British soap opera Coronation Street and Oh Bondage Up Yours! by X-Ray Spex, Too Young features Mötley Crüe's "Too Young to Fall in Love", Hand Throw features portions of the Burro Banton a cappella Boom Wha Dis, Martys Tardis includes portions of the cult classic movie Donnie Darko, and Herbie Goes Ballistic samples the Disney film The Love Bug. The vocal sample used in Einstein-Rosen Bridge is the theme song from short lived American sci-fi comedy It's About Time.
The title Hand Throw may be inspired by a legend about Antwerp's history. The track contains a sample saying "Antwerp massive" at 3 minutes 44 seconds, which would seem to back this theory up.
