List of South Park episodes

"Wing" is episode 903 of the Comedy Central animated series South Park. It was originally broadcast on March 23, 2005 and was named after and featured the New Zealand singer Wing, in an eponymous part vaguely based on her.

Upon hearing that Token has won a contest that will allow him to sing at a beauty pageant and receive $200, Stan, Cartman, Kyle, and Kenny decide to mooch off of his talent by becoming his agents. They lose him to another talent agency, however, only to land a singer named Wing, who is the wife of the City Wok owner, Tuong Lu Kim. Recently smuggled into the United States by the Chinese Mafia, Wing has been set to audition for American Idol, and the boys' "Super Awesome Talent Agency" agrees to bring her to Los Angeles for the competition. This venture does not go as planned, but the boys get a gig singing at the wedding of Sylvester Stallone's son after the boys enter Wing into The Contender. Sylvester Stallone was impressed with Wing's singing voice while she was being beaten to a pulp by one of the boxers on The Contender. However, by this time, Wing has been kidnapped by the Chinese Mafia for not paying the $10,000 owed to them for getting her into the States. The boys, mistaking the Mafia for the talent agency that stole Token, go after Wing to get back their client. In the end, both the Mafia and the boys realize that their businesses are dirty and exploit the hopes of others, and all decide to quit and go to listen to Wing sing at the wedding, only to find Token waiting tables, trying to earn enough money to get back home- apparently the agency doesn't actually do anything for you. Cartman takes the opportunity to rub in Token's bad luck. At the end of the episode, we find out that Wing is real, and see a promotional ad for her website

Trivia sections are discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines. The article could be improved by integrating relevant items and removing inappropriate ones.

• Wing is a real singer who guest-starred as herself (though her only lines were her singing, which were taken from previous audio recordings).
• The full address to Cartman's house is revealed to be 93345 Ave. de los Mexicanos. However, in "Jakovasaurs", Jakov found a backpack which indicated that Cartman lives at 21208 E. Bonanza Circle.
• In this episode, Kyle and Cartman both wield Heckler & Koch G36 assault rifles (which are drawn in the bullpup configuration).
• On this episode's commentary, Trey Parker and Matt Stone were convinced to do a show about Wing when a friend led them to her site, and then listened to her new CD of AC/DC covers. They then continued to listen to more of her music whenever they were frustrated or stuck on an idea. They also said in the commentary that the whole idea of this singer Wing (and especially her covers of AC/DC) were either a "super sweet joke" or a "super sweet not joke".
• Wing's only request of allowing them to use her in the show was that she had to approve her drawing (Though, as Parker and Stone have said, Asian characters in South Park are not drawn very flattering and are basically just always closing their eyes).

• In this episode, Token is singing "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine" by Lou Rawls. The singing voice of Token was not performed by Adrien Beard, but was a sped-up version of Lou Rawls singing the song, sped up the exact same as when the main characters' voices are sped up.^[1]. Cartman also sung the song in Fat Camp.
• There are several references to the 1983 film Scarface in the latter stages of the episode. The entrance to the Chinese Mafia's mansion resembles the Coral Gables mansion that Tony Montana resides in. When Kenny dies, Kyle holds him and comforts him, much like Tony does to his sister after she is shot dead. Also, Cartman utters the words "You want to play rough? Okay" which, in the film, precede the infamous line "Say hello to my little friend".
• Cartman twice pretends to take a phone call from two famous people to impress others and to prove his agency is legit. The first time, he pretends the phone call is from Abraham Lincoln. The second time, he pretends the call is from Colonel Sanders from KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken). Cartman does not know that Abraham Lincoln and Colonel Sanders are dead, much to the disdain of Kyle.
• A poster for the Bill Cosby vehicle Ghost Dad is visible in Cartman's basement.
• When Wing is singing she sings ABBA songs that include, Dancing Queen, and Fernando, as well as the Carpenters song Sing.
• The leader of the Chinese mafia strongly resembles Kenji Kasen from Grand Theft Auto III
• On the coffeetable in the basement office there's a magazine titled "Vague", referenced to Vogue magazine.
• When Sylvester Stallone asks for Wing to sing at his son's wedding, the boys rejoice and sing Who Let the Dogs Out by the Baha Men.
• An E.T. poster can be seen in Cartman's basement.

• Kenny is shot multiple times by a mafia member just before Kyle tells him to leave. Unlike before his death moves Kyle to tears and he also hugs the dead body. "You didn't die for nothing. We're gonna get Wing back as our client and... and make a ton of money! I swear it to you!" He goes back to Stan and Cartman shooting at the Tongs and shouts, "They killed Kenny!" Stan shouts back, "Bastards!"
