Seagull: Oh man, I like that song, what happened?

Bubbles: I don't like that song. I put an end to it

Seagull: Well, this music is terrible Bubbles: I suppose your entitled to your-Wait why am I talking to you?

(Rap Battle)

You're an inferior species! What could you know about taste? 

You get excited by a pile of trash on a plate!

While I'm a space-time traveller, fabric unraveler,

Saving the patties in the past, but now I'm rapping ya.

That song's so bad that I can't even stand it.

Dispense with this nonsense at once. I demand it!

You all stand no chance against my power, don't try it, 

Just sit there with your flappy beak, shut and be quiet!

Seagull: Hold up, fish guts! You can't insult us! (The seagull crew!)

We're in no mood to hear this (dolphin chirp) from you!

We're flying on the breeze, partying seven seas.

You got your nose on your head. (You blow up when you sneeze.)

(Hey, why's this guy so mean?) 'Cause he's older than a fossil.

All alone up in space. (Yeah, that must be awful!)

Painty the Pirate: Yar! Knock it off! You're making the movie too long!

Seagull: Why don't you take us back in time so we can finish our song? Bubbles: Fine. (Music switches back)

Trivia

  • Derek Drymon makes a comment about the SpongeBob theme song: "Steve's idea was to try to make the most annoying song you can, to—so when Saturday morning, when kids turn the TV on and parents are  trying to sleep, you have this pirate screaming in the other room for the kids to jump on the floor."
  • The song is based on the sea shanty, "Blow the Man Down."
  • You can see Squidward's house on the left after Painty yells "Ohhhhhhhh...!"
  • Captain Maggot of Emilie Autumn's musical group likes to sing this song.
  • In the Square Roots version, Avril Lavigne sings it.
  • A new opening was only to be seen in Truth or Square.
  • SquidBob TentaclePants had an opening, but later on, it was switch back into the normal theme song.
  • In the movie, it was a real song.
  • After Season 2, the animation was changed, followed by an HD transition from Season 9 onwards. Despite this, the song remains in its original cel animated, SD version throughout the entire series, even with the newer episodes.
  • When Spongebob plays the trombone in Truth or Square, it was similar to Pinky Dinky Doo when Mr. Guinea Pig played a trumpet everytime someone was about to say the "Great Big Fancy Word".
  • In The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, when Burger-Beard the Pirate begins reading the story to some talking seagulls, the seagulls begin to sing the theme song, but Burger-Beard orders them to stop before they can finish, threatening them with death. In the end of the movie, having accepted defeat, Kyle, a younger seagull, asks him if they can sing it. They put a hat on Burger-Beard and a picture frame around him and Burger-Beard, having accepted defeat, reluctantly agrees to lead them in singing the song. The scene then becomes animated with Burger-Beard replaced by Painty the Pirate, and audio from the TV version of the theme song is used.
  • in some other countries, the intro footage is different. (Ex: the French version has a bubble of SpongeBob, a face of him and his name in French too)
  • In the Italian, French and Spain versions, it uses footage in which no text is to be seen.
  • On August 5, 2015, in a tweet by Vincent Waller, it was confirmed that a 16:9 HDTV/widescreen version of the theme song is in the works.[2][3]
