"San Diego", also known as "Jackin' It In San Diego", is a music video featured in the Season Sixteen episode, "Butterballs". The song is a vocal surf song performed in universe by a three-man vocal group, wearing blue suits. Jerry Sanders, the Mayor of San Diego, makes a guest appearance.
Background[]
Stan Marsh created an anti-bullying music video, called "Make Bullying Kill Itself". It was produced by Bucky Bailey's Bully Buckers, an anti-bullying organization. Stan sold the rights to the video to a movie producer, named Nick Jabs. Jabs set up an interview for Stan and Butters on Dr. Oz's talk show, to promote the video. Dr. Mehmet Oz sued South Park Elementary after Butters assaulted him in a rage of pent-up anger, caused by being bullied. Jabs backed out of the movie deal, due to the bad publicity from Butters' incident.
San Diego Montage[]
Stan was blamed for these incidents and everyone turned against him for the trouble that was caused. When asked what he was going to do about it he replied, "I guess there's only one thing left for me to do." He flew to San Diego, where he took off his clothes, and danced and masturbated on a street corner.
Lyrics[]
Singers:
Baaam badam baaam baaadam, baaam badam bam.
Baaam badam baaam baaadam, baaam badam bam.
I'm gonna jack it where the sun always shines (He's gonna jack it)
Been spreadin' the word and now I need to ease my mind (Jackin' it, ohhh)
Been plantin' them apple seeds, and while the apples grow,
I'm gonna go out jackin' it in San Diego
Jackin' it, jackin' it, jackety-jack
Spankin' it, jackin' it, spankety-smack
I don't need no shirt, no, gonna take them pants right off (He's about to jack it)
On such a bright day, who needs underwear or socks? (Jack it, jack it, ohhh)
Been around God's country, and there's one thing I know,
There's no better place for jackin' it than San Diego
Jack it, jack it, jackety-jack
Spankin' it, spankin' it, smackety-smack
Jackin' it, jackin' it, jackety-jack
Jackin' it, spankin' it, smackety-smack (Jackin' for the Lord!)
Jerry Sanders:
"Come to San Diego, there's so much to see. From the sparkling waters of Mission Bay to the warm tortillas of Old Town. And after a day of sightseeing, why not try spankin' it in one of our charming city streets? San Diego. Come, take a load off."
Singers:
Jackin' it, jackin' it, jackety-jack
Spankin' it, spankin' it, smackety-smack
A-whackin' it, whackin' it, whackety-whack
Spankin' it, jerkin' it, smackety-smack
The cars are passin' me by, they honk and say "hello" (Hey, that guy's jackin' it!)
From his window, there's a guy shootin' video (Video of him jackin')
And if the good Lord, Jesus, comes knockin' on my door,
Just tell him that I'm jackin' it in San Diego
Jackin' it, jackin' it, jackety-jack
Spankin' it, spankin' it, smackety-smack (He's about to jack it)
Jack it, whack it, jack it, jackin' it, jack (Whackin' it, whackin' it)
Whack it, whack it, spank, spank, whack, whackin' it, whack (Look at me, I'm jackin' it)
Spank it, whack it, jack it, jack it, whackin' it, whack (Whack it)
Spank it, spank it, whack it, whack it, San Diego (He's about to jack it)
San Diego, jack, jack, whackin' it, wack (Whackin' it, whackin' it)
Whack it, San Diego, whackin' it, whack (Keep on jackin' it)
San Diego, jack it, jack it, whackin' it, whack (San Diego)
Jack, San Diego, whack, whack, jackin' it, jack (Jack it)
Jackin' it, jackin' it, jackin' it, jack (Whackin' it, whackin' it, whackin' it, whack)
San Diego, jack, jack, (Wack, wack)
Whack, jack, spank, spank, spank,
San Diego, ahhh...
