Musical similarities to music used in South Park

I just watched Cannibal the Musical last night and loved it. I was also really interested in the music. Beyond being well-written, I noticed bits in the songs that sound like parts in future music done by Trey Parker.

For, example, part of the chorus (I believe) to "It's All We're Asking For" sounds very much like a simplified version of the chorus to Blame Canada.

And the chorus to "Shpadoinkle" (the "The sky is bluuuue and all the leaves are green" part) sounds very much like the Braniff studio theme played after the credits of every South Park episode.

Any other musical similarities anyone caught that I passed up or forgot about?

The chorus to Shpadoinkle day is the sound clip they use in the Braniff credit at the end. Just because they can.

They made that credit and almost got into trouble with Braniff Airlines...But they promised that they would only use it for that logo so they're fine

Oh yeah, that makes sense. I knew that little tune sounded familiar, but I just couldn't place what it was from.

What would Jesus do...
for a Klondike bar?

I thought one of the songs ended very similarly to the tune of "Somalian Pirates We!"
