Brad Paisley Plays the Name Game on ‘South Park’ Season 29 Premiere With Original Song ‘We Are South America’: Listen
The long-running animated show returned with an episode called "South American Biker Gangs" on Wednesday (Sept. 16).
On September 16, South Park season 29 premiered, temporarily retitled South America, as creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone took aim at Donald Trump's nomenclature obsession. Brad Paisley contributed an original song, "We Are South America," which served as a satirical jab at Trump's recent re-naming of various geographical locations.
The song played during a scene in the episode "South American Biker Gangs," where Stan mourned Kenny's death, likely caused by an e-bike battery explosion. As the community comes together following Kenny's demise, Paisley's defiant country ballad fills the air, emphasizing the importance of sticking to one's given name. The singer recently released a digital-only project, Tacklebox - Disc 1, featuring unreleased and unrecorded songs from the 1990s alongside newly written tunes inspired by country music styles of that era. The South Park episode airs every two weeks on Comedy Central at 10 p.m. ET.
