15* No mention of the ''South Park'' soundtrack would be complete without giving a shout-out to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8p22rtNMoM iconic intro]] encapsulating the jokey and sarcastic nature of the show perfectly. From [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQFrthyb-Wc seasons 6 to 10]], it got updated with an energetic bluegrass version with banjos and harmonica, and from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVgQe6NfplU season 11 onward]], it got a revamp with an energizing remix and wambola accompaniment. Both sell you on the off-the-wall, batshit insanity that Stone and Parker have in store for you in their own ways.
16* Chef’s signature song: "I’m Gonna Make Love To You, Woman". It may be short, but the passionate vocals just SCREAM sex.
17* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjrdanK4LSY "Chocolate Salty Balls"]] is a groovy melody with R&B instrumentals and fun lyrics about both dessert and balls.
18-->'''Chef:''' [[DoubleEntendre Say everybody, have you seen my balls? They're big and salty and brown!]]
19%%* [[NarmCharm "Soaring so high above the world. Never thought I could be so free."]]
20* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vs8G95qsnwE Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld]], proving you can make a kickass metal tune when all you can say is your name.
21* "Loo loo loo, I got some apples..." An adorable song that fits Butters' cheery personality. He also dances to "I've got something in my front pocket for you", which is hilariously dirty.
22-->Give it a little squeeze and say "how d'ya do?"...
23* [[GratuitousJapanese "Let's Fighting Love"]] from [[ArtShift "Good Times with Weapons"]]. With its soaring guitar riffs, backed by an overly enthusiastic Japanese vocalist[[note]]Trey Parker, who is fluent in Japanese[[/note]], the song could easily be mistaken for a serious anime theme (vulgarities and GratuitousEnglish aside). Doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}} [[BilingualBonus if you can actually understand the lyrics.]][[note]]The lyrics are grammatically correct Japanese, but profane and somewhat nonsensical (which is completely intentional - the English in the song is even more nonsensical). The first phrase translates as "I have a magnificent penis and hair on my balls. Is that sound a monkey? No! It is the ninjas!"[[/note]]
24%%* "Fingerbang" from "Something You Can Do with Your Finger". It gets updated in "Band in China", with Butters on guitar and Jimmy on drums.
25%%* "Montage" from "Ass-pen", which later appeared in ''Film/TeamAmericaWorldPolice''. [[TrainingMontage You gotta have a MONTAGE! Ooh, it takes a MONTAAAAAGGE...]]
26%%* In terms of licensed music, [[Film/{{Scarface 1983}} "Push It to the Limit"]] from [[VerySpecialEpisode "Up the Down Steroid"]].
27%%* [[Film/TheKarateKid1984 "You're the Best Around"]] from [[BaseballEpisode "The Losing Edge"]].
28* The Cartman cover of [[Music/LadyGaga "Poker Face"]]. Cartman really sings his soul out here.
29%%* "Work, Mexican, Work!"
30%%** "Work, [[PoirotSpeak Meheecan]], work..."
31%%* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAOicwI-urs Run! Run! The battle's on, Wikileaks and Lemmiwinks!]] Run! Run! The battle's oooooooooooooon! Go, Lemmiwinks! Stop Wikileaks!"
32* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKwW8PNZpOQ Jackin' It in San Diego]]". [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative Never before has a show tune about]] masturbation in America's eighth-most populous city been so catchy and upbeat.
33%%** Additionally [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2w50C5lbvU "Let's Make Bullying Kill Itself."]] from the same episode.
34* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJcmCME_jG8 Gay Fish]], perfect parody of a typical Music/KanyeWest song, right down to the Autotune.
35%%* [[Series/GameOfThrones Wiener, wiener wiener, wiener wiener, wiener weiner...]]
36* "[[http://youtu.be/3eB9c2hbyjg Push (Feelin' Good on a Wednesday)]]" (aka "Ya ya ya, I am Music/{{Lorde}}"). Has a catchy beat, sounds like an authentic Lorde song, and the song actually sounds like a call for acceptance of who one is and a defiance of others' disapproval.
37* [[https://youtu.be/BjsVRIqOhGA The Circle of Poo]] sounds like some joke parody of "[[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Circle of Life]]", but it sounds so fucking glorious. Especially Cornwallis' singing voice near the end.
38* Wendy's naughtier version of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VQcUZOPmRY Miss Susie song]]. This marked the first time they were able to use "shit" and "cunt" uncensored.
39* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EQ_kWbLMD4 Queef Free]]", where all the males in South Park feel remorse for being disgusted by women queefing yet [[DoubleStandard finding men farting funny]], and to show the women their remorse, sing the awesome message that it's OK for women to queef.
40* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDlR_ccnZww Boogers and Cum]]" became an instant hit overnight and gained a hashtag on Twitter in mere minutes.
41* "[[http://southpark.cc.com/clips/e9jggv/put-it-down Put It Down]]" starts off with a great piano piece before seguing into an awesome inspirational ballad encouraging people [[ItMakesSenseInContext to stay off their phones if they become President]]. Even Cartman crashing the performance with his rap is catchy and adds to its awesomeness. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35-_qeJpcb0 Japanese dub]] sounds impressively close to the original.
42* From the same episode, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABE7sDtYBys Give Life a Try]]." A surprisingly catchy rap song in the style of Logic in which Cartman raps about wanting to kill himself because he thinks his girlfriend [[NiceGirl Heidi]] is abusive.
43* From "Hummels & Heroin", we have [[http://southpark.cc.com/clips/gilx6w/locked-up-in-here "Locked Up In Here"]], an aggressive trap/hardcore rap song featuring Atlanta rapper Killer Mike, talking about everyday life in a retirement house and comparing it to a straight-up prison.
44* From "Bike Parade", we have the appropriately named [[http://southpark.cc.com/clips/wup6f7/the-bike-parade "The Bike Parade"]], a bluegrass country song that's played to celebrate both the kids finally able to participate in the event and for driving Jeff Bezos out of South Park and freeing everyone from his Amazon Fulfillment takeover plan by getting high on Randy's Tegrity Weed.
45* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onH2rsM2nyc The Somalian Pirate Song]] from "[[Recap/SouthParkS13E7Fatbeard Fatbeard]]" is a joyous and hilarious sea-shanty.
46* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkyFzll6M10 The Orchestral Rendition of the theme song]] is delightfully upbeat, with cheerful vocals fitting their 25th anniversary. There are also orchestral versions of "Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls", "Kyle's Mom", "Sam Diego", and "Gay Fish".
47* "We missed you Randy" perfectly captures the sense of hitting rock bottom and seeking redemption that Randy Marsh desperately needed in that moment.

50%%* Eric Cartman's [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Awesome]] capture of the Big Damn French Boat in "Fatbeard".
51%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnaevmltkPU Cartman's Quest Song]] from the cliffhanger in "Imaginationland Part 1", itself based on a track from ''Series/TwentyFour''.
52* ''VideoGame/SouthParkTheStickOfTruth'', [[SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames being a surprisingly good game]], naturally has a surprisingly good soundtrack. Notable examples include [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvo5fpq9294 the underpants warlock/alien pilot theme]], a pumping orchestral piece with a couple short power metal sequences, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRIRSljV0WY Jimmy's fight theme]], a medieval folk rock piece that wouldn't sound out of place in ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings''.
53* ''VideoGame/SouthParkTheFracturedButWhole'', [[SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames being even better than the last game]], naturally has a better soundtrack.
54** Notable examples include [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qdq4FqWIQFo the battle against Spontaneous Bootay,]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMw2R33cgnk the Vamp Kids' battle theme,]] and the fact that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2ypMuB1Ju0 "Let's Fighting Love"]] plays during [[BattleCouple Super Craig and Wonder Tweek]]'s [[LimitBreak combined Ultimate Power Move]], [[ThePowerOfLove "Eros Eruption".]]
55** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF2gHnR9kj8 Nathan and Mimsy]]'s battle theme sounds like an 80s horror movie soundtrack, seamlessly mixing in elements of UsefulNotes/{{synthwave}} and classical music.
