South Park Themes (Live)

So I was a freshman in college in 1989 And I-and somebody took- A friend from the Bay Area took me to, um A band playing on Alferd Packer Day About 80 people And it's these guys from the Bay Area Three guys making such a fucking racket And the weirdest music I've ever heard And I just thought, "This is fucking great I love this band, I gotta listen to this shit forever" And they quickly became my favorite band, they still are Their name's Primus if you haven't figured it out And Ha ha ha So a few years later, me and Trey make it to Hollywood And, uh, we, uh, get a TV show pilot So we looked up Primus' management company In the phone book and sent them a letter And sent them a copy of "The Spirit of Christmas" And it worked And here we are I'm standing here With a felt fish on my head So anyway, we got this letter at the office that said "Hey, these guys fresh out of college have made this cartoon They're big Primus fans, but they really want you to do this thing Uh, they have $74 to spend" And, uh, uh, they said, you know "Hey, do you want to do this thing?" And we thought, "Uh, well, you know" And we watched the car-"The Spirit of Christmas" We thought, "That's fucking amazing That's unbelievable, that's incredible We're gonna do it" We didn't do it for the money We did it because we thought it was an amazing thing So, a few-about a month later, we get We get something in the mail And here it is This is what we got from these guys First shot So the first thing we thought was "Wow, that's fucking amazing We got our own Primus song" And the second thing we thought was "That's a minute and 40 seconds That's not a intro theme song That's way too fucking long" Yeah, so what they did is They said, you know, "Comedy Central-" They passed the buck right onto their bosses Say "Comedy Central says it's too slow It needs to be a little zippa-dee-doo, a little peppier Can you guys re-record it?" And, you know, we're out there traveling the world Doing our thing, you know, making that magic And we're like "You know, come on, dude you gave us $74 We're not gonna go back in and re-record this thing How about you just take it and you speed it up?" Yeah, so we sped it up in Pro Tools We crammed it down really fast But when you do that with digital Pro Tools The voice kind of breaks So we had to go back and ask Les "Please, can you re-record your voice?" He was psyched about that He was super psyched Which we did, uh-uh-uh, backstage One of you sent one of your friends We recorded backstage at Fiddler's Green And, uh True In Colorado, on tour And then it turned into this Turned into this Going down to South Park Gonna have myself a time Friendly faces everywhere Humble folks without temptation Going down to South Park Gonna leave my woes behind Ample parking day or night People spouting, "Howdy, neighbor!" Headin' up to South Park Gonna see if I can't unwind (Muffled) I love girls with big fat titties I love girls with deep vaginas So come on down to South Park And meet some friends of mine And then, the kids went into fourth grade And we wanted something special So we called Les again and said "Could you do-, we think it's been a- Could you send us something else Send us something new?" So I said, "Matt Ain't nothing better than a little bit of whamola I'm going down to South Park Gonna have myself a time Friendly faces everywhere Humble folks without temptation Going down to South Park Gonna leave my woes behind Ample parking day or night People spouting, "Howdy, neighbor!" I'm going down to South Park Gonna see if I can't unwind (Muffled) I love girls with big fat titties I love girls with deep vaginas So come on down to South Park And meet some friends of mine There you go, there's all the theme songs There's a history of it So you can see, we have a couple mics set up here That's because one of 'em has a pitch shift in it You know, when we do the boys' voices We gotta pitch 'em up So, uh, we thought of a few things we could do Like this
