Just when you thought triple j‘s Like A Version couldn’t possibly get any weirder, Dominic Fike has casually rocked up and covered the South Park theme song – and somehow made history in the process.
The alt-rap wildcard stopped by triple j on Friday and delivered not one but two covers, becoming the first artist ever to perform a second Like A Version in a single session. And because Dominic Fike never does anything by halves, his Primus-penned South Park theme clocked in at just 26 seconds, also officially making it the shortest Like A Version ever recorded.

Why the cartoon chaos? According to Fike, he’s a big fan of the show
“It feels optimistic when the episode starts, and it’s funny throughout, which is how I prefer life, and then it ends abruptly and Primus starts,” he told the radio station.
He also revealed he watches South Park every night to fall asleep – not for the shock humour, but because it reminds him of his childhood friendships.
“They have big imaginations and everything’s a new world for them… everything’s exciting and that’s what I like to feel like.”
Before detonating the Primus theme, Fike delivered a lush, stripped-back cover of Cody ChesnuTT’s 2002 neo-soul gem ‘Boylife in America’, a song he says feels like something he could have written himself.
“Everything’s impressive because he cared for it; not because it’s super mathematically done,” he explained. “The idea was to have fun.”
He wrapped things up with a performance of his own track ‘Epilogue’ from his 2025 mixtape Rocket, which has quickly become a fan-favourite and live staple.
The appearance capped off Fike’s Aussie run, which saw him tearing through Spilt Milk Festival dates in Ballarat, Perth, Canberra and the Gold Coast – and now, apparently, into Like A Version folklore.
