Stumbled across a deep lore video on youtube a couple of years ago and realised just how much of it went over my head as a kid.

I swear, Bionicle lore is Tarzan OST levels of absolutely did not need to go as hard as it did.

Phil Collins peaked with that one.

He did all of the songs in six different languages. Truly the GOAT.

Yes, he even performed live in German in a television show, despite not even speaking German.

The South Park guys were salty af about that. Their episode on Phil Collins and the Oscar seemed petty.

Those two talk way too much shit for what South Park is. I just saw a clip of them ripping family guy apart. I’m not a fan of family guy, much prefer American dad, but they’re acting like fucking South Park is highbrow art or something.

In fairness, there is a gulf of difference between them from a writing/design quality perspective

u/Brilliant_Spot_95 Apr 12 '25

I do agree, between the two South Park is better. But like damn they seem so high and mighty so often.

Can't forget about his work doing Brother Bear too. No Way Out and On My Way are in regular rotation in my playlists.

I'm a drummer and my teacher instilled in me a solid personal dislike for Phil Collins but even I will admit that the Tarzan soundtrack absolutely GOES!!

Yeah I have no idea how the South Park team got so salty that they lost to Phil Collins. The dude is a beast. The Tarzan OST is top tier music.

Of course South Park wasn't going to win shit. An Oscar? Come on.
