College buddies Trey Parker and Matt Stone needed a theme song for their upcoming TV show, an irreverent cartoon about four foul-mouthed young boys in a Colorado mountain town called South Park.
When they asked avant-garde rock band Primus to record the intro music, not even bassist and vocalist Les Claypool thought they had a chance of making it to air.
"We thought 'The Spirit of Christmas' [the short films that laid the foundation of 'South Park'] was very cool," Claypool said. "But we never thought it was gonna get on television, let alone become a worldwide phenomenon."
