Primus’ and Ween’s connections to South Park date back to the show’s very beginning. Primus frontman/bassist Les Claypool wrote and recorded South Park’s classic theme song, while Ween contributed the original song “The Rainbow.” Both bands also appeared in the season two episode “Chef Aid.”
A quarter century later, South Park is still going strong. The animated series’ 25th season is currently airing on Comedy Central, and Parker and Stone recently struck a deal with CBS/Viacom to create a bevy of made-for-TV films for the Paramount+ streaming platform.
Next month, Primus will launch their RUSH tribute tour, with dates running through the end of June (you can get tickets here). Claypool recently spoke to our own Kyle Meredith about the tour and the band’s forthcoming EP. Listen to their conversation here.
