This CD accompanies the South Park "Chef Aid" episode - it features extended versions of the songs featured in the episode as well as several extra ones. "Come Sail Away" (sung by Cartman) alone makes this CD worth buying for me!
Please note this item is "South Park: Chef Aid (Extreme Edition)" not "South Park: Mr Hankey's Christmas Classics"...
Format:Audio CD
This magnificent live in-concert CD opens with the South Park Theme by Primus, assisted by the lovable urchins (is that the ill-fated Kenny's muffled voice?) and concludes with a distinctive sound associated with the Canadian superstars Terrance and Phillip. Chef charmingly introduces the artists, from Crystal Method, Ozzy Osborne, DMX and Dirty Ol' Bastard doing Nowhere To Run after a rather rude introduction. This is followed by a stunning solo performance by Chef on the soulful Chocolate Salty Balls.
A highlight of the album is Eric Cartman's stirring rendition of Come Sail Away, performed with a maturity that belies his age. This is really gorgeous. Brad Logan by Rancid is a passionate slab of angry rock as is Hot Lava by Perry Farrell. The South Park urchins appear with Wyclef Jean on the tuneful ballad Bubblegoose. Wake Up Wendy sees Elton John in a rocking mood on this great love song with its rollicking keyboards, whilst Huboon Stomp by Devo represents a welcome return by these 1980s new wavers and Love Gravy is a surprisingly soulful duet by the legendary Ike Turner and Rick James.
Feel Like Makin' Love by Ned Gerblansky sounds like something by The Residents, and another highlight is H°m0 Rainbow by Ween, sensitively introduced by Chef, and what a beautiful rock ballad it is! Speaking of which, Meat Loaf puts in a sparkling, if somewhat over-energized, performance on his duet with Chef, Tonight Is Right For Love. The chef manages to restrain him, and they conclude the song in soulful harmony to rapturous applause.
Next up is Joe Strummer with It's A Rockin' World, an impressive old-style rock song. Mentally Dull by Vitro and the South Park Cast concludes this riveting live album and here one can hear not only the urchins but their wonderful mothers too, on a fabulous grand finale. Chef Aid is remarkable in its diversity, with shlt hot rock, hip-hop, funk and smooth soul by the lovable Chef himself; it's the best live album in my collection. Sure it's a bit rude here and there but so is popular culture nowadays.

There can be no doubting the fact that South Park is one of the best shows currently on TV, so it is no surprise that when the producers of the show announced the fact that they wanted to do a soundtrack album that some of the biggest names in the music industry volunteered. The album is a wide mix of styles such as the rap of "Kenny's Dead" by Master P and "Bubblegoose" by Wyclef Jean as well as the hard rock of "Mephisto And Kevin" by Primus and "Brad Logan" by Rancid as well as the dance of "Horny" by Mousse T vs Hot N Juicy and the soul of "Chocolate Salty Balls (PS I Love You)" by Chef (A.K.A. Isaac Hayes) and "Love Gravy" by Rick James and Ike Turner, just proving that South Park appeals to all types and if you enjoy the show you will definitely enjoy the soundtrack as it features guest appearances and sound bites from the shows stars, Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman. Overall it's a great soundtrack featuring a diverse range of artists and is highly recommended.

a good cd, but a bit odd
the mousse-t thing is totally out of place, but brad logan, it's a rockin' world and hot lava are the best.
