Whatever happened to Primus? Warning: Explicit lyrics.
The South Park theme is unmistakeably Primus. For those not in the know, Primus is an American band with a sound so unique, it has often been imitated, but never duplicated. Cliché.
The original theme song stays, but it has been remixed a couple of times. One remix that I know of was performed by Paul Robb. Another one was performed by Colonel Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, a project of Primus’ lead vocalist and bassist.
The song is part of Chef Aid: The South Park Album, an album based on the Chef Aid episode.
South Park theme song lyrics
Les: I’m Goin’ down to south park gonna have myself a time
Stan and Kyle: Friendly faces everywhere, humble folks without temptation
Les: Goin’ down to south park gonna leave my woes behind
Cartman: ample parking day or night, people spouting howdy neighbor
Les: Goin’ down to south park gonna see if i cant unwind
Kenny: (Muffled) I like girls with fat tittes, i like girls with big vaginas
Les: Come on down to south park, and meet some friends of mineSeason 3 change (Kenny):
I want a penis, you can have my wenisSeason 7 change (Kenny): Sometime I’lll be old enough to stick my dick in Britney’s butt
Below is a compilation of the various remixes of the theme. There are some videos showing the real opening credits, but they are once again “unembedable.”
