I saw a video like this a while back and thought it'd be fun to rank these songs myself! I'm going to be ranking these songs mostly on just how much I like the song, but I'm also keeping in mind the impact it has on the story as well.
I'm also going to be excluding Mountain Town (Reprise) because even though that harmony at the end kills, it's just too short and it wouldn't be fair to put it up against the other songs on this list.
10. Up There
I know, this song is considered one of the best, but I just never found myself coming back to it. It's kind of just too slow for me, and the melody isn't really my thing. I do find it funny that it's basically a parody of Part of Your World from The Little Mermaid, but I've never cared much for the song itself. Maybe I'd like it more if I listened to it a couple more times, but I've never felt the desire to.
9. Uncle Fucka
This song is also probably surprisingly low on the list. It serves its purpose well in the movie, and I do like to listen to it every once in a while, but as a song itself it just doesn't stand up against some of the other ones. I actually really like the melody and fast-paced, upbeat nature of the song, don't get me wrong. It's just way too short, and there aren't enough actual lyrics (I mean, half of it is just fart noises.) Nonetheless, it is a classic even if it isn't the most rousing song in the movie.
8. I'm Super
It pains me to put this sing so low, because I really do like the song. But compared to the rest of the songs, it's just not as important or impactful. And it's a little confusing that Big Gay Al got his own musical number? I mean, if I'm not wrong he'd only actually been in one episode before this movie came out, and he's just such a weird character to be chosen to co-host the execution of Terrance and Phillip. Idk, it felt a little out-of-character (though to be fair he was hardly a developed character at this point) Even if it doesn't make sense, though, it still is a pretty damn fun song.
7. I Can Change
Maybe I'm a bit biased putting this one higher than the last three, but it's so underrated! I really like the melody here, it's quick-paced, and Saddam Hussein's high pitched voice always kills me. There's not a whole lot I can do to justify it, this song just really does something for me.
6. What Would Brian Boitano Do?
I really love this song. I actually wanted to put it higher on the list, but there were so many amazing songs in this movie that it ended up just shy of the top 5. This song still kicks ass, though! It's kind of random, sure, but it's a great reference to the original Spirit of Christmas short films, and unlike I'm Super, it's more of a kind of funny random than a confusing kind. It's silly, but also kind of uplifting with amazing instrumentals. And it sort of got me into Olympic figure skating, so there's that.
5. Blame Canada
Even though this song is probably criminally under-ranked, I actually had a hard time deciding between it and What Would Brian Boitano Do. But I had to put it ahead; I mean, it was nominated for an academy award! I might enjoy WWBBD a tiny bit more, but I still think Blame Canada beats it in general.
4. Mountain Town
This is arguably the most mild song in this movie, (in fact, I don't think it has a single swear word in it,) but it's still really good! It does a perfect job at introducing not just the four main characters, but their parents as well, who are some of the main antagonists. Stan is comfortable asking his mom if he can see the Terrance and Phillip movie, and Sharon trusts him enough to let him go see it; Kenny doesn't ask his mom before leaving with Stan, even though Carol is more concerned with him missing church (and Kenny brushes off her threats); Kyle lies to his mom, knowing that she'd overreact and not let him go, and Sheila proves herself to be overbearing and overreactive; Cartman doesn't even bother letting Liane know where he's going, though he's shown barking orders at her which she obeys. It's a pretty perfect introduction to the movies and the characters.
3. It's Easy M'kay
This was originally at the number 2 spot but I ended moving it down a place just because the next song is such a classic. Nevertheless, this song is still one of my favorites. It's fun, and has some of the best choreography and visuals in the movie in my opinion. This was one of the songs that I knew I'd love as soon as I heard it when I watched the movie, and I still love it.
2. Kyle's Mom's a Bitch
This song is probably the most popular South Park song ever. Hell, even I had heard it when I was a kid before I even knew anything about the show. It's a classic for sure, and seriously catchy and fun, too. And it's actually pretty important to the plot since it prompts Sheila to have Cartman implanted with the V-Chip which he later uses to defeat Saddam Hussein. The only reason it's not higher on the list is because it's pretty light-hearted and short.
1.La Resistance
La Resistance is probably my favorite South Park song ever. Not only does it have a really catchy tune on its own, but it transforms into an AWESOME medley halfway through that somehow manages to perfectly blend together so many different songs. I remember watching the movie and as soon as the medley started I was like "yup, this is my favorite song, no questions asked." Maybe it's not as important or popular as some of the others, but it was so memorable to me that I instantly fell in love.
