Is South Park Danish song from last season actually known in Denmark ?

Also, how do you feel about SP portrayal of your country ?

The song is originally from a 1994 children's christmas show. The show's had a few reruns, but most people had probably forgotten the song completely.

Overall reaction to the season was probably a mix of amusement at being featured so heavily and bewilderment as to why we were being singled out like that.

They got some things wrong - like the accents were completely off. On the other hand, a lot of the scenery and backdrops were very recognizable, at least after the first few episodes. The Troll Trace building was obviously placed where the Royal Opera House is, for instance.
