South Park's music history gets a full walkthrough on this Throwback Thursday, from the Chef Aid soundtrack to a Lady Gaga cover that ended up as a playable track in the video game Rock Band.

The clips get bolder from there, including the bit where South Park has Canadians ordered to open their box of faith, and the Bigger, Longer and Uncut sequence declaring war on French Canada and its endless supply of cheese.

Nineteen ninety seven gets its full due beyond the show too, covering the Red River flood in Manitoba, the aftermath of the Quebec referendum, the start of the dot-com boom, and a run through the year's biggest movies, from Men in Black to Air Force One.
