This joke on Lorde is a continuation from last week's episode, "Gluten Free Ebola" where Randy claims he works with Lorde's uncle, only to show up at a party Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny are throwing dressed as the pop star to sing her made-up song, "I Am Lorde."

This episode also pokes a little fun at music journalism with a just-the-facts '40s-style reporter from Spin Magazine named Brandon Carlisle who just wants to know why the "humble" and "down to earth" Lorde is in South Park.
