The fruits of South Park‘s labor from their recent episodes featuring New Zealand pop singer Lorde (or, at least, an impersonation/parody/whatever-you-want-to-call-it of her) continue to show up on the Internet.
Now, the full song “Push (Feeling Good on a Wednesday),” from the Oct. 8 episode “The Cissy,” is available online. The track was billed as “Lorde”‘s new single at the end of the episode.

Except it’s not sung by Lorde — instead it’s Randy Marsh, the South Park character who, it turned out, was behind Lorde all along. Sort of. Through production elements he’s able to change his voice on his laptop to sound far more akin to the singer’s actual voice, though there’s obviously still a bit of a disconnect since Lorde herself didn’t contribute her voice to the show.
Via the full track, it suddenly seems plausible that the track was recorded by fellow down-under pop star Sia; the voice sounds very familiar to hers.
However, Billboard reached out to Sia’s representation to confirm her involvement and was met with no confirmation.
The song can be downloaded for free here, thanks to South Park on Twitter.
