This will always be my favorite South Park Christmas special. Back when Cartman was just a spoiled brat rather than every Game of Thrones villain put together.
It's the "answer call", or "call and response" effect, where one musical phrase is followed by another to create effect. In this case, the gorgeous, heavenly vocals of the choir is the answer, and Cartman's soothing, albeit cartoonish voice is the call, as Cartman heads the chorus. This alone demonstrates how passionate and meticulous Matt and Trey are when it comes to music in their work.
O holy night..... The stars are brightly shining...... It is the night of our dear savior’s b-bi-birth. O holy night.... The something...something...Jesus! It is the night with the Christmas trees and pie.... Jesus was born, and so I get presents, Thank you Jesus for being born.....(oh-oh-oh-oh) FALL! (Fall!) On your knees! (On your knees!) AND HEAR.....(can’t you hear)....the angels’......something....(Voices!) Oh night........divine! (divine!) Oh night..........when I get presents......(oh-oh-ohh) OH NIGHT............DI-VIIIIIIIIIIIINE!!!! Oh night......oh night.....divine..
Actually, this is the best version of the song on TH-cam, I've listened to. They nail the "fall to your knees" part, it still gives me chills, like the first time I heard it all those years ago. Crazy.
I once played thins for a guy I was dating in 2006-2007, and he sang along---"Oh, night, when I get presents!" (Hey, he loved South Park! That's one of the things that brought us together!).
This version was the first time I heard this song and it's my favorite Christmas song now. We have to pick out our favorite Christmas song with a story for Advent at our church. I loved telling my pastor I first heard it on South Park, lol.
Because Christians are very insecure about their faith and anything that challenges it, even satire, will cause them to protest, sometimes to the point of violence.

actually got chills when the real singers started backing him up
Yeah...absolutely
Same
same
Love this xmas song!
That's my favorite part! It's hauntingly beautiful! Does anyone know who voiced the angels? I can't find anything.
This will always be my favorite South Park Christmas special. Back when Cartman was just a spoiled brat rather than every Game of Thrones villain put together.
*a spoiled brat who fed a boy his own parents
@@dietfent you missed the part where it said back when
FR
Fr tho
What episode
He may be a racist, anti-semitic, sociopath... but ya gotta admit, he can sing
Lmao you are joking right? He can sort of hold a note though
And he is the sweetest sociopath of all!
He can't even remember the word, where the electric rod when you need one
Same thing was said about Hitler
Villains do have the best singing voices
I listen to many versions of this songs but nothing beats Eric's vocals.
Mariah?
This and the slow version sung by Kevin Michael Richardson on Family Guy are really great.
Kings... Kings College Choir?????
“Eh helleh net. Te staers aer bretly shenning”
“Jesus was born and so i get presents.” Brings a tear to my eye.
Same
Bro 😢
Thank you Jesus, for being born
Same here 😢
I used to date a guy who was into South Park, and when I played this song once, he gleefully sang the line about getting presents!
I never knew the real lyrics... only that Jesus was born and so I get presents.
Thank you Jesus for being born
Same lol still don’t know the actual words …. This is what I sing
@@melissabrackeen5813 foooo nanana
This is unironically my favorite version of this song
I always shed a tear during this rendition
Feel you
Tears of laughter 😂
When he sings “Something something” w/the back up singers I get chills. lol not sure why.

Oh night........divine! (divine!)
Oh night..........when I get presents......(oh-oh-ohh)
OH NIGHT............DI-VIIIIIIIIIIIINE!!!!

Thanks so much for the lyrics of this
timeless classic...
Beautiful.
damn i forgot i made this comment
You’re going to get a comment every year on this post
it’s something something distant
My favorite South Park episode. I fall asleep in the middle of June, and wake up to Cartman singing this. Best moment of my life
😲
Whenever I go to sleep to south park on HBO max it's always comforting to hear south park when I wake up
That's where the saying "Christmas in June lie" comes from
Truly the voice of an angel
Yes,lovley song
You mean the voice of a devil
When he says “something..” and the backup singers go “voices…” 😂
This has always been my favorite version.
I loved how they showed jesus as baby... it was really sweet along with cartman's voice.😂
Yelp
True
Yep.
Yeup
Not many people could do a parody of this song and not be disrespectful while actually making it good musically.
Trey Parker is a great musician
Oh it’s completely disrespectful, that’s what makes it awesome! I’m sure it pissed off a lot of evangelicals
I'm not your friend, pal.
@@fezzik7619 seems like the only one who's pissed off is you.
@@shivanshpandey3646 to the contrary. I absolutely love it. Anything taking a stab at any religion is awesome
Actually, this is the best version of the song on TH-cam, I've listened to. They nail the "fall to your knees" part, it still gives me chills, like the first time I heard it all those years ago. Crazy.
He sang this so beautifully 😍 😭
1:00 can we talk how beautiful and powerful this part is
The best part of Christmas is hearing Cartman singing O Holy Night lol
That note @ 1:34 gets me everytime lmfao
Just beautiful
He hit that q note perfectly
Mom: put on the best Christmas music you can find
Me:
All these years on, this version gets me totally choked up...... So beautiful ❤️
I've been getting Cartman's version in my head for days now. IDK why it's popping up. It's February. Still fairly close-ish to Christmas, but still...
I'm not your pal, buddy.
@@jpjp9111 I'm not your buddy, friend.
Man, what a coincidence. I'm now seeing this comment in February two years later.
I'm not your friend, guy
@@nobel5019 I’m not your guy buddy!
the only acceptable version of this song
What’s crazy to me is how good the backing track arrangement is…South Park legitimately has a great soundtrack.
1:15 most relatable moment
Dude
@@neems9002 because you can’t decide what side to sleep on
me at chirstmas: hey mind if i sing o' holy night?
family: go ahead
me:
Jesus was born and so I get presents. Thank you Jesus for being born!
He constantly effin up the lyrics and high notes it’s weirdly amazing to hear LOL!!
You know it's a good parody or song when you can keep in rythem with cartman XD
I once played thins for a guy I was dating in 2006-2007, and he sang along---"Oh, night, when I get presents!" (Hey, he loved South Park! That's one of the things that brought us together!).
Let's be honest here. The Angels are why we come back to this song year after year. That "fall on your knees" is the truth! - 07DEC2021
Yes!!!!!
My favorite Christmas song.
This version was the first time I heard this song and it's my favorite Christmas song now. We have to pick out our favorite Christmas song with a story for Advent at our church. I loved telling my pastor I first heard it on South Park, lol.
He may be an evil sociopath but he also has the voice of an angel
@0:58
That part is so powerful, it literally brings me to my knees
It brings you to your nyes
@@necr0cryptz ooon your nyyyeees
And here the angels something
@@WirelessPlayToad6831 voices
he is so adorable 🥺
Such a touching version!
No body in the whole world can do this better than Cartman 😂❤
Merry Chrima Cartman 🫡
I wonder why this isnt a christmas song for the real life?
Because it takes the mic out of Christians and they wouldn't like that. They would probably start world war three or something
@@Winterwoofball Mohammad was grotesque
It is it’s called o holy night
@@Winterwoofball mixing Christianity with that other religion.
Because Christians are very insecure about their faith and anything that challenges it, even satire, will cause them to protest, sometimes to the point of violence.
"When I get presents!" 🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁
I listen to this song every Christmas. A all time favorite for me lol. Was well done

The song makes me cry
Eric Cartman is filled with the divine spirit of true holy light. Thank you Jesus. And praise the Lord. Amen. 👼

''Oh holy night something something so I can get presents''

Check out Ronnie James Dip and Tomi Iomi's God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.
my mom sent this to me idk how to feel
she’s a keeper
@@cheezy6669 well i mean she’s my mom so I kinda have to keep her but yeah shes a great mom

I wonder how she reacted to the part were Cartman steals Jesus' presents.
Every year during Christmas, I say “thank you Jesus for being born”.
Best rendition ever
