Kyle's Mom Is a Stupid Bitch (in D-Minor)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Kyle's Mom is a Bitch (in D-Minor)" is a song by fictional character Eric Cartman on the comedy series South Park. It refers to Sheila Broflovski, the mother of another South Park character, Kyle Broflovski.

The song, "Kyle's Mom is a Stupid Bitch (in D-Minor)", was originally sung on Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo, the first Christmas episode of the show which ridiculed political correctness. In the episode, anything having to do with Christianity or traditional Christmas icons was banned from display by Kyle's mom, including any references to Jesus or Santa Claus (because she is Jewish). These events stemmed from Kyle's mother complaining to the mayor about the local elementary school doing a play about the birth of Jesus. Cartman places all of the blame on Kyle's mother, and, when queried by Mr. Garrison for a Christmas song to sing not involving Jesus or Santa Claus, suggests "Kyle's Mom is a Stupid Bitch (in D-Minor)".

The song is most closely a Polka, and was also featured on South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (listed in the credits as "Kyle's Mom is a Bitch"). There it is sung in a very memorable scene as Cartman sings the whole song in front of all the other kids, unaware that Sheila Broflovski is standing right behind him. Although many believe that the song, as the title suggests, is written in D-minor, it is not; the song is clearly in a major key: it starts in C-major but modulates up a semitone each verse. The melody of the song bears some similarities to the theme song from the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and also bears some resemblance to the Philosophers' Drinking Song from Monty Python. There is a reference to the unifier of the Hawaiian islands, King Kamehameha in the movie version of the song, when Cartman sings "On Sunday, just to be different, she's a super King Kamehameha-Beeyatch!" (Actually this is a punning reference to a geographic locale: King Kamehameha Beach.) This has been misconstrued as a reference to one of anime series Dragon Ball Z's most powerful moves. Some sites and other people say that the line is "She's a super king kong mega-mega bitch." See External Links below.
