Lorde Responds To 'South Park' Parody, Sings "I Am Lorde Ya Ya Ya" [WATCH]

Lorde seemed to take South Park's twisted parody of her pretty well on social media, and based on a recent interview, it's pretty obvious she is having fun with the whole thing.

"That was really funny! I got off really easy!" she told 3News. "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, so..."

ICYMI, South Park "divulged" that a prominent character on the show — a middle-aged man — was actually Lorde, and the ensuing chaos resulted in a discussion about gender identity.

This was all hilarious to Lorde, and she did her best impression in a video interview:

Here's the South Park version:

The New Zealand songstress recently curated the new Hunger Games soundtrack, and discussed the role of social media in its creation.

"I have been putting together The Hunger Games soundtrack and probably half the artists on there, I sent them a DM [direct message]," she said. "Or a selfie on Instagram on private, saying, 'Can you email me?' It really is easy to reduce the steps in talking to someone and people appreciate it if you talk to people one-on-one. And I do it with fans too, send them a DM. They appreciate it and it's cool."

How does the soundtrack process work, exactly?

"Where I started with that was the director and I had a conversation, and he had this idea of this kind of Appalachian-folk vibe," she said. "And I kind of extended that... obviously I am not going to write music which is rooted in Appalachian folk! But I found some awesome 1920s spiritual standards, folk songs, like 'Lonesome Traveller', 'Wayfaring Stranger', 'Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child', all these kind of beautiful haunting, really intense songs that I thought were a good starting point for me. Then I wrote my song inspired by those. And then when I was going to other artists I sent references to what I was vibing, and I broke down the film from my perspective and what I felt it needed musically, and took it from there. So we built it from the ground up."
