South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut

• South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut Soundtrack

Amazon.co.uk Race, creed, PC ethics, Barbra Streisand--no-one is safe in South Park. And now we must also doff our snowcaps in acknowledgement of Trey Parker's super-killer-sweet song-writing talent, which allows the abuse to continue in the best cinematic musical in decades. Mr Mackey provides a template for replacing colourful metaphors in the feel good "It's Easy, Mmmkay" (so Disney can now be said to totally suck buns!) The Mouse's style is beat repeatedly with the fun-poking stick: listen for "Bonjour" from Beauty and the Beast in "Mountain Town" (after a spot of Oklahoma!). Satan sings "Up There" which is "Out There" from The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Even Saddam Hussein spoofs The Little Mermaid with "I Can Change". The ballsiest pastiche spins Les Misérables into the breath-taking "La Resistance (Medley)". Much of the credit must go to co-writer Marc (The >Addams Family) Shaiman's stunning, mammoth arrangements, all of which are in the best and biggest classic Hollywood tradition. Hypocritical censorship is the film's running-gag and warning message, but somehow that point was missed in replacing several numbers by "name" artist variations. The filthy lyrics stay funny, but any Chef Aid fan knows it's the whitebread/podunk/redneck mountain town inhabitants who should be singing "Uncle Fukka" and "Kyle's Mom's A Bitch" not Trick Daddy or Kid Rock. "What Would Brian Boitano Do?" they ask. He'd eat Cheesy Poofs and singalong of course! --Paul Tonks Product description Various Performers / Darren Higman / Trey Parker ~ South Park
