this entire song and performance is an utter masterpiece, and it is perhaps the finest achievement of musical cinema in history, brutally mogs the sound of music and singin in the rain easily
>>216023838They got especially cynical with this one tbqh (the film in general). Not saying it wasn't funny in spots but it was rather dark and weird between this, Creosote bursting, the fishy bit with Graham in the tranny getup that I'm sure he enjoyed wearing, etc. Not nearly as lighthearted as Holy Grail, which is in fact the funniest film ever made.Also, don't underestimate the opening number for the South Park movie, and their musical throughline throughout. Matt and Trey have worked in several forms, but their true form is, oddly enough, the musical, and the South Park movie was their best effort in that form. Their genius was to create a musical with memorable, straightforward numbers that did the impossible: it appealed to straight men by slightly pretending to mock the musical form via Disney references when in fact it was a love letter to the musical.
