The SpongeBob Theme Song Was Broken Down

The SpongeBob SquarePants theme song is a perfect introduction to SpongeBob's fun, optimistic personality. 25 years after SpongeBob's Help Wanted premiere on Nickelodeon, a KZbin creator has deconstructed the theme song to let us hear it in a way we never have before.

That kid screaming brings back memories of me screaming at the TV whenever the painting asked me if I was ready, don't lie... we've all done that 😅😂

[@Isabelle-qq2yu]

I was terrified of him, and I told my parents to mute it, and then my dad raised up the volume when he started singing and laughed at me as I was screaming

[@TheAdventuresOfDanStudios]

​@@Isabelle-qq2yu you were weird

[@crafto6881]

@Isabelle-qq2yu when I first watched Courage the Cowardly Dog on my Gameboy Advance SP with my dad I got scared to hell and back by Eustace in the intro and I had to turn it off. Picked it back up a few years later and it's one of the best shows ever. Thank god I had an older brother who grew up with old cartoon network.

[@okjeffy6581]

One time I did that and got a beating lol.

Hey Vail, thanks for showing my best friend’s video! He was very surprised when he saw you comment on his video and we both appreciate you sharing this video to everyone. I have recently heard about this Nickelodeon gigaleak which is how my friend was able to get every stem possible to the intro. While I don’t know for sure what the gigaleak was or is, it’s very interesting to see how the theme song is without certain elements inside of it!
