Lorde Responds To “South Park” Parody
Pitchfork: ‘Recent episodes of “South Park” have been fixated with Lorde, whom they’ve asserted is not actually a New Zealand teen but a middle-aged man in drag. Now, in an interview with New Zealand’s TV3 News, the real, non-cartoon Lorde sang a few seconds of “I Am Lorde Ya Ya Ya”, the song “she” sings on “South Park”. In the interview, Lorde said, “I was thinking, ‘Yeah he has a moustache… I mean I have a moustache, but is it that prominent?’ But it was someone’s dad pretending to be me. We actually, in my hotel room, went ‘Ya ya ya ya ya I’m Lorde! Ya ya ya!’ for like an hour, because that’s why they do on the episode.”‘
