[edit] Original version

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 the mayor, including any references to Jesus or Santa Claus. 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)".

[edit] Movie version

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"). In the movie, Cartman sings the whole song in front of all the other kids, unaware that Sheila Broflovski (Kyle's mom) is standing right behind him. There is a punning reference to the geographic locale of King Kamehameha Beach, which Cartman changes to "super King Kamehameha-Beeyatch."

[edit] Song information

Although the title says the song 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.
