""Because they're one of the few entities out there that is taking pretty aggressive stabs at this administration. People love to watch stuff like that. "The thing about South Park is we never thought they'd get on television. And then they get on television and they're incredibly successful. Then just when you think they're starting to fade, they put out the South Park movie and it was huge. Totally reinvigorated their whole thing.""
"Did Les Claypool expect to run for decades or war with presidents - to become an essential part of his own musical story? Did he think the creators of the show would become "very good friends?" He laughs. "We never thought it would get on television, let alone take over the world," he tells Consequence. The singer of Primus contributed the South Park opening credits song believing that just about nobody would hear it: "We only did it 'cause we thought it was cool.""
Les Claypool contributed the South Park opening credits song expecting almost nobody would hear it, saying they only did it because they thought it was cool. He is not fazed by Trey Parker and Matt Stone's sustained success and is unsurprised that Season 27 returned the show to near-record ratings. He attributes renewed interest to the creators taking aggressive stabs at the administration, which attracts viewers. He notes the creators never expected television success or to 'take over the world,' and credits the South Park movie with reinvigorating their career. He praises Parker and Stone's 'magical' chemistry and values musical chemistry with collaborators Larry LaLonde and Sean Lennon.
