Cmon I like Tainy and J Balvin but for an episode like this I would prefer him to do one about "La Santa" or even One Day/Un Dia but its okay, props to him

[@faviolaura9403]

Hello Tainy, My name is Blaise Smith and I co-wrote the Spongebob Theme song and also played all of the instruments except the drums. I played the flute part (actually an Irish penny whistle) that you sampled and you did such an amazing job on the track. I just came across this video and it's been fun to watch. Peace.
