I know that the first two seasons of _South Park_ Kenny was singing ‘I love girls with big vaginas/I love girls with big fat titties’, but that seems to have changed. What’s he singing in the theme now? (If he has sung other things in the theme, what are those?)

What makes you think that’s what he was singing?

Not sure if Trey or Matt have ever confirmed what Kenny says, though I’ve always heard the first two seasons the same as Johnny LA.

According to [this](http://www.answers.com/topic/kenny-mccormick), there have been three different intro “songs”.

When the show first burst on the national scene, the sheet music for the theme, along with the lyrics appeared in a musician’s magazine and what Kenny was saying was printed in the lyrics.

Whichever one of the guys does the voice for Kenny has stated that most of the time he says something obscene when he’s doing Kenny, regardless of what the dialoge of the other characters might indicate Kenny is saying. I’ve noticed that Kenny’s gotten more intelligeble over the years.

I haven’t watched “South Park” in years, but it was commonly known back in the day (ie Season 1) that Kenny was saying “I look like a sweet potato, I look like a sweet potato”. Of course, he mumbles it just enough that you can make up just about anything you want and of course the creaters like to keep the mystic going . . .
