La Resistance

"La Resistance" is a song in the movie South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, which was sung when the children started up a resistance movement opposing Mothers Against Canada and the execution of Terrance and Phillip.

The song began a medley, including reprises of "Blame Canada", "Up There", "Uncle Fucka", and even a verse to the tune of "Mountain Town" ("why did our mothers start this war"). It is widely considered one of the most popular songs among fans of the series, due to its inspiring and stirring lyrics.

The song was reprised in "The Mole's Reprise". The motto is "Vive La Resistance!".

Lyrics
Gregory:  God has smiled upon you this day The fate of a nation in your hands And blessed be the children we, who fight with all our bravery 'til only the righteous stand. You see the distant flames, they bellow in the night. You fight in all our names for what we know is right. And when you all get shot and cannot carry on Though you die, La Resistance lives on. Gregory and the other Children: You may get stabbed in the head with a dagger or sword. You may be burned to death or skinned alive or worse. But when they torture you, you will not feel the need to run For though you die, La Resistance lives on. MAC: ''Blame Canada! Blame Canada!'' Shelia: Because the country's gone awry, tomorrow night these freaks will fry! Soldiers: ''Tomorrow night, our lives will change. Tomorrow night, we'll be entertained. An execution, what a sight. Tomorrow night.'' Satan: Up there, there is so much room, where babies burp and flowers bloom. Tomorrow night, up there is doomed and so I will be going soon! Terrance and Phillip: ''Shut your fucking face, uncle fucka! You're a boner biting bastard, uncle fucka!'' Terrance: Looks like we may be out of luck! Phillip: Tomorrow night we're pretty fucked! Stan and Kyle: ''Why did our mothers start this war? What the fuck are they fighting for? When did this song become a marathon?'' Satan: I want to be up there... Shelia: When Canada is dead and gone, there'll be no more Celine Dion! Gregory: They may cut your dick in half. Soldiers: Tomorrow night. Gregory: And serve it to a pig. Soldiers: Our lives will change. Gregory: And though it hurts, you'll laugh. Soldiers: Tomorrow night. Gregory: And you'll dance a dickless jig. Soldiers: We'll be entertained. Gregory: But that's the way it goes. Soldiers: An execution! Gregory: ''In war, you're shat upon! Though you die..'' Satan: ''I want to be... up thereeeee...'' Gregory: ...La Resistance... Stan, Kyle, Cartman: Tomorrow we fight, for La Resistaaance! Gregory:  ...Lives on!! Soldiers: ''Our lives will change! We'll be entertained! Tomorrow night!'' MAC: ''Just don't cry out, "Blame yourselves!" Blame Canada! Blame Canada! Blame Canada!''

Trivia

 * The song's Les Misérables counterpart can be considered "One Day More!" (a stirring choral piece reprising previous songs) or as "Do You Hear The People Sing?" (a rousing song about the power of the people). The song can be said to best encapsulate the original musical's themes of popular resistance and personal vendetta.
 * The song foreshadows Butters Stotch's future as a main character: he is holding the flag at the end and then trips, his groan sounding similar to his voice in later episodes.
 * When Gregory says "They may cut your dick in half", Boy with Blue Cap is dancing with the group. But when Gregory says "...and serve it to a pig", he is replaced by Craig.
