er, unc’beer that is.
Heh.
For a moment there I thought someone had been reading my Amber gamelogs.
My favorite couplet from the La Resistance medley:
When Canada is dead and gone
there’ll be no more Celine Dion!
But my favorite is still It’s Easy, Mmmkay?:
Step four, don’t say 'fuck anymore
'cause ‘fuck’ is the worst word that you can say
‘fuck’ is the worst word that you can say
you shouldn’t say ‘fuck’,
no, you shouldn’t say ‘fuck’,
fuck, NO!
Processional!! 
What would Brian Boitano do if he was here right now?
The South Park Christmas episodes have some pretty special musical numbers too. ‘Dreidel Dreidel Dreidel’ and ‘Mr Hankey the Christmas Poo’ are IMO up there with 'It’s Easy, Mmm-kay" and ‘Unclefucker’.
Mr Hankey!
He loves me
I love you
Therefore vicariously he loves you too
Ruffian, if you’re impressed by a grand production of some good ol’ potty-mouth, check out Ben Fold’s ‘Fired’ (from Rockin’ The Suburbs. The end features a chorus of Ben Foldses singing “Mother-fuuuuckker!” to an amazing wall of organ, string and percussion sounds.
Imagine how I felt; I had never seen SouthPark before.
So there I was, in my hotel room with the rest of the evening to myself. I had heard of SP, of course, but little did I know . . .
“Quiet Mountain Town” impressed me. “Say, that’s a rather catchy tune. That doesn’t suck half bad.”
Then (ominious organ chord) “Uncle Fucker.”
After that, I was crying, CRYING I tell you. I was also trying desperately to hold down my laughter because I wanted to hear everything.
And it all worked; that’s what really impressed me. The music is sophisticated, they advance the plot, they’re hummable (mmmKay?). “Though you die, La Resistance lives on” still gives me a little shivver of patriotism.
All that, and Saddam too!
Brilliant film, and one of the best movie musicals ever.
I’m going to make dirty love to you, 'cause that’s what Bryan Boitano’d do.
I read an article about that song years ago that talked about the making of it. The singers were feeling a bit…strange. They are a professional chorus that do ‘serious’ stuff, most went to famous music schools, have years of experience, etc. and here they are singing about fucking uncles…They said it was a sad day for their art, but they laughed too.
Sorry, I can’t find the article anywhere.
Just to make the afternoon interesting, I’m going to crank it without telling my colleague…tee hee, this should be funny.

Yes. In fact, I have one of the more foul mouths of this entire group of Uncle Fuckers.
<ahem>
On monday she’s a bitch.
On tuesday she’s a bitch.
On wednesday through saturday,
she’s a bitch.
And then on Sunday,
just to be different,
she’s a super king-kong
mega… MEGA… BI-ATCH!.
<ahem> Thank you.
‘Kyle’s Mom is a Bitch’ is still my favorite. Especially the movie version.
I had the esteemed privelege of seeing the South Park movie before most folks at a press screening. In fact, I started the first thread about the movie on the board.
I went into the movie expecting to be disappointed. After all, South Park still seemed like a fad at the time (since settling into a Simpsonsesque stream of consistent quality), and movie adaptions of TV shows just generally don’t work.
That attitude did an about face the instant Uncle Fucker started. It is one of the few times in my life where my jaw literally dropped.
That first week after I saw the movie was very interesting, since I was constantly humming a song about fucking uncles that no one else had heard. Thankfully, it was soon released to the public at large, and now we can all sing together!
You’re an uncle fucker I must say/
Well you fucked your uncle yesterday!

That’s “super King Kamehameha Bi-atch”, actually.
[/nitpick]
Yes… but I like my version better for two reasons. A: It fits the rhythm of the song better, and 2: Not everyone catches the DBZ reference. Especially when singing it aloud. And it avoids questions like, “What the hell are you talking about… Kamehawhatsit?”
I’ll testify to that. DBZ??
That is, IMO, the best closing there could possibly have been. It still makes me laugh more than any other part of the song. It’s simplicity, its last-minute dash and slightly underspoken voice jsut slay me.
DBZ- DragonBall Z- A japanese animation show that moved onto cartoon network a couple of years ago, and has since become very popular. The main character of the show, Goku, has a special move called the Kamahemahe wave, which was referenced on “Kyle’s mom is a bitch”. God, I’m such a dork.
The sky is blue,
The leaves are full of green,
My heart is as full as a baked potato.
I think you know,
Exactly what I mean,
When I say that today’s a shpidoinkel day.
This outta separate the wheat from the chaff.
I’m not sure if they’re referencing Dragonball Z or Hawaiian history - King Kamehameha lived in the late 1700s to early 1800s and was credited with bringing together the various islands that we now know as Hawaii into one kingdom. I recall learning about him in school.
and his effigies are quite big if I’m not mistaken.
