Background

The version of the song featured in "The Unaired Pilot" was much slower, even so, it was sped upwardly for broadcast. An instrumental version of the original broadcast song plays over the credits to most episodes. The theme song plays after the evidence's satirical disclaimer is displayed.

In Flavour One, the instrumental was originally constructed with a slightly quieter guitar and a more than prominent trumpet. Up until "An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig", this version was used. In "Expiry", the trumpet was quieted and the guitar was made louder. In "Pinkeye", the intro was changed to include eerie Halloween sounds. For the rest of the show until "Fourth Grade", the instrumental with the prominent guitar was utilized, with pocket-size but noticeable changes made starting with Flavor 3.

As well in Flavor Iii, the boys' vocals were changed; Kyle Broflovski's voice stood out more in his and Stan Marsh's lines, and Eric Cartman'south voice was updated. Additionally, Kenny McCormick's line was completely changed, with the replacement of his lines and a higher pitch.

Over the course of the series, certain lyrics have been changed, including an unabridged verse, originally sung by Kenny McCormick, sung past Timmy Burch in the Season Half dozen intro due to Kenny's temporary death in the Season Five episode "Kenny Dies". From the episode "Quaternary Grade", to "Kenny Dies", a hip-hop version of the song was used, which was remixed past Paul Robb. Afterward, they used a bluegrass remix of the vocal until mid-Season Ten, where the original song was remixed with "Whamola" past Les Claypool and his group, The Frog Brigade, from their album, Royal Onion.

When Comedy Central started airing reruns of older episodes, the opening theme was back to the way it was during Season Three, with the add-on of several recent characters.

For the special "Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers", a new theme song was fabricated specifically for the episode. The lyrics were altered to fit the personality of the characters.

Starting from "Quaternary Class" upward until Season Seventeen, the theme song showed diverse clips from previous episodes as the music played.

From Flavor Six upwards until mid-Flavor Ten, as clips from numerous episodes played, the theme vocal showed animation manager Eric Stough designing the boys with construction paper, an animation technique that was used for the very starting time episode, "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe".

From Season Seventeen and onwards, a 3D computer-animated version of the intro is used, and information technology consists of the coach driver driving past various South Park locations as the the boys sing their lines, resembling the original Flavour Ane-4 intro in many respects, with the exception of the 3D animation and "Whamola" instrumental.

In the episode "Sons A Witches", the theme song was altered with many Halloween-themed elements added.

In Flavour Twenty-Three, a whole new Tegridy Farms intro based on the intro of Green Acres, sung past Randy Marsh, is used, replacing the normal opening theme since the latter half of Flavor X. The clips from the intro contain various scenes from the flavor'southward episodes. The endmost theme retains the same, merely information technology features Randy Marsh scatting "Tegridy Farms" over the vocal. The intro was only used for the beginning 6 episodes of the season.

In the episode "Tegridy Farms Halloween Special", the intro, along with some lines, were altered with many Halloween-themed elements added.

The episode "Board Girls" features a PC Babies intro to coincide with the storyline, but still kept Randy Marsh's "Tegridy Farms" scat during the ending.

"Turd Burglars" features a funk remix of the show'due south theme song for the I For The Ladies show which sang by the female person members of the prove with the announcer announcing the title. This episode brought dorsum the original instrumental ending theme without Randy Marsh's "Tegridy Farms" scat over the song every bit it was in the previous seasons.

"Basic Cable" features a James Bond-inspired theme song for the Scott Malkinson Show, which had a James Bond styled blitheness featuring Scott Malkinson.

The shows normal theme from the latter one-half of Season Ten returns for the only fourth dimension in the twenty-third season in the finale "Christmas Snowfall".

There are a few episodes that accept a unique intro. "Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo" starts with a common cold open of the school choir singing "We Wish y'all a Merry Christmas". "Pip" begins with a live-action introduction from Malcolm McDowell. "Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics" begins with a parody of the 1970 Christmas special "Santa Claus is Coming to Town."

"The Pandemic Special" and "South ParQ Vaccination Special" contain no intro.

In the lead up to Season Xx-5, the vocal was re-recorded with an orchestral rendition. The lyrics for Kenny used between Seasons 1 and Two are adopted in this rendition, sung uncensored and unmuffled.
