World Flute Concert

Four million third-graders, including Mr. Harrison's class, are about to perform the song “ My Country for Me ” at a world-wide flute concert held in Oklahoma City under the direction of Yoko Ono and Kenny G. Due to the flood, the venue is being moved to Little Rock , where Mr. Harrison grew up. The news that the class will have to go to Arkansas causes Mr. Harrison a nervous breakdown, because, as Mr. Mackey finds out, he was sexually harassed by his father in childhood. Mr. Mackey advises Harrison not to be afraid and meet his father.

Arriving in Little Rock, Mr. Harrison meets with his father and suddenly begins to reproach him not for harassment, but for their absence, which, in his opinion, indicates that his father did not love him. When Mr. Mackie finds out the true state of things, he meets with Harrison Sr. and tries to convince him to have sex with his son, because otherwise he may die. Harrison Sr. goes to a bar to ask friends if he should sleep with his son if his life depends on it. His friends perceive the question as a psychological test and start asking other questions in the spirit of “Would you sleep with your father to save your mother’s life”. As a result, in the middle of the night, someone comes to Mr. Harrison's room whom he takes for his father (although in reality it is Kenny G, whom Harrison Sr. asked to sleep with his son). The next morning, Mr. Harrison leaves the house of his parents in high spirits - now he is sure that his father loves him “for real.”

Meanwhile, Stan , Kenny , Kyle and Cartman have a conflict with third-graders from New York , who consider them a bumpkin and call them "bastards." Cartman is trying to find a "brown note" - a special note, the sound of which in people involuntarily empties the intestines . While the guys are looking in the dictionaries for the meaning of the word “bulge”, Cartman finds the right note, and the boys decide to make changes to the notes of the children from New York so that they are made out in public. By coincidence, the corrected notes are distributed to all children participating in the concert. During the performance of the song, the boys understand that everyone plays the changed melody, but does not have time to stop the concert, and after playing the “brown note” by four million children, all people on Earth involuntarily empty their intestines. Children from New York approve of the trick with a "brown note" and call the guys "cool." At the end of the episode, Mr. Mackey explains to the children that “bulging” means “vaginal discharge.”

Kenny dies as a result of the mass performance of the “brown note”. At the end of the episode, when the announcer says about what happened: "... it brought someone to death ..." show the place of the concert - all in the feces - and the corpse of Kenny, which is eaten by rats.

• The series uses the idea of ​​an urban legend about the existence of the so-called “ Brown Note ” ( English brown note ) - a sound that prompts a person to involuntarily empty his intestines. There is no real scientific evidence for a brown note. In the original, the heroes mistakenly call it “ Brown noise ” ( English brown noise ), a really existing sound, which, however, does not have a special effect on human physiology. In the film, the height of the brown note is described as “92 cents below the E flat of the lowest octave, ” although the real sounding sound is f-sharp. In any case, the reproduction of notes of this height is beyond the capabilities of the alto recorder .
• The fact that provincial Arkansas is a state is ridiculed several times throughout the episode. So, for example, when Mr. Mackey announces that the concert will be held in Arkansas, Stan asks: “What is Arkansas? Is this the state? ” Later, at the entrance to Arkansas territory near the road there is a banner with the inscription “Welcome to Arkansas. Yes, we are also staff. ”
• Coming from his parents, Mr. Harrison sings the song “Put on a Happy Face” from the musical Bye Bye Birdie .
• In one of the episodes, Stan, convinced of the effectiveness of the brown note, asks “Do you think about the same thing as I do?”, To which Cartman gives an answer not related to the situation. Perhaps this is a reference to the animated series " Pinky and Brain "
• The moment Mr. Mackie asks, “Isn't that our boys there?” You can see Stan and Kyle to the right of Mr. Garrison.
• When Miss Colton asks Harrison where to go, he replies: “Right to the second star and right until the morning,” which is a reference to Peter Pan.
• During the dialogue between Harrison and Miss Colton on the bus, Kenny is in the background, although he had been killed before.
• In this series we learn that Mr. Harrison is more like a mother than a father.
