"We're PRIMUS and we suck."
-- Les Claypool


Heeeere's Primus!
Ler, Herb (no longer with the band), and Les.

As many of you know, PRIMUS do the theme song for South Park. However, the version of the song that is currently being played is not the original.  The original was much slower.  

To hear the original go to Beefcake South Park Multimedia Archive (not related to this site) and click on any episode.  It is usually one of the first three wav files that you can select, I believe it's titled THEME.WAV.

WHO ARE PRIMUS?

Brian Mantia (Brain) -- Drums
Larry LaLonde (Ler) -- Guitar
Les Claypool -- Basses and vocals
       and ...
Tim Alexander (Herb) -- Drums (Who is no longer with the band)
