Why Phil Collins?

Hey, I'm no fan of Phil Collins (well, not since about 1975!), but what did he do that pissed off the writers of southpark? In the Timmy episode the other night, they seemed to go out of their way to nail him (ok with me, hilarious in fact) - -just wondering if he's done or said anything about southpark that would cause them to hit him so bad?

thanks, malcolm

Notice he was holding an "Oscar" the whole time? Phil's song from Tarzan beat out "Blame Canada" from the South Park movie for the Oscar.

Kind of reminds me of Maphesto and his bitter reaction to Randy Marsh's Nobel Prize win in the "Spontaneous Human Combustion" episode. Ironic how they would react in a manner similar to a character they made fun of on the show.

Truthfully, "Blame Canada" had no realistic chance of winning the Oscar considering the politics of the Academy. They would never have given it to a movie that blasts the MPAA. Phil Collins does not decide the winner of the Oscar. To take it out on him, in my opinion, is just being a very sore loser.

But consider that Phil Collins hasn't made a good song in about 10 years, and he doesn't deserve the Oscar, either.

If they weren't going to give it to Blame Canada, Sarah Maclaughlin should have gotten it.

Or Aimee Mann. Any other pick would have been an improvement over that God-awful Phil Collins song. Oh no! It's stuck in my head!! Make it stop!! MAKE IT STOP!!!

Actually, both Aimee Mann and Sarah McLaughlin were nominated. Sarah McLaughlin for Jessie's Song in Toy Story 2. Aimee Mann's song and the movie it was in totally escapes me at the moment, however. :)

however. :)

"Magnolia" would be my guess. I tuned in to that part of the Oscars only and heard 4 identical songs, then Robin Williams. :)

Sorry, but while Sarah Maclaughlin did indeed perform the song "When she loved me." she did not write it. It was written by Randy Newman, who was nominated for the Oscar.

That was the first new episode after the 2000 Oscar awards where Collins's "Tarzan" song won the Emmy over 3 clones and "Blame Canada".

Since we have fan voting through August, CC won't be running sequential episodes. But the next 1 or 2 after "Timmy 2000" also featured Collins and his statue.
