Nowhere is DS mentioned. Besides, DS is genetic, while inbreeding is
not. The music, which was done illegally (pirated) by a college
educated musician who was later successfully sued, was meant to show
that even "tards" could pick a mean banjo and the scene/song is often
held up as an example of the "us vs them" nature of those who we don't
want to be associated with by ppl who think they are our betters.
