My dad has worked at Nickelodeon for my entire life, and once when I was a kid I happened to be at the studio at the right time and was invited to take part in the theme song for a new show, Spongebob Squarepants. I was about 8 at the time (now 21) and I had no idea what the show was. I thought the concept of a sponge for a main character was ridiculous.

The theme song sequence was produced in the middle of season 1, and it was given its own production code: "127,"[1] meaning the 27th segment made for season one; the production code was shared with a new version of the pilot episode, "Help Wanted," which included a different title card among other minor tweaks. The pilot was originally made without a production code and with an entirely different title sequence.[2]

The theme song sequence begins on a wall with Painty (alongside his parrot) in a frame with a realistic mouth, telling the kids offscreen that if they are ready. Then a view of Bikini Atoll is shown, followed by a bubble transition going down to SpongeBob's house (Squidward's house can also be seen on the left). While opening his door, SpongeBob is in his underwear and Hans puts his normal clothes on. In a Hawaiian-flowered, fuchsia-colored backdrop, SpongeBob jumps in the bathtub, inflates, and exhales out water. A transition leads to the show's title appearing in bubble text (the title character is a bubble in the international-language version) and then pops out. 4 SpongeBobs sail 4 different types of boats to rope and build the show's logo. The show's logo is shown in different backdrops (a green box in the international-language version). As the Realistic Fish Head overdubs the theme song, bamboo spell out the show's logo (absent in the international-language version). In a backdrop with multiple colors, SpongeBob's parts are mixed up in multiple ways, before he goes back to normal. SpongeBob is jumping on his name. while he is seen over "Bob", his pants fall off. until he turns upside down to get his pants back on (rocks and cliffs in the international-language version). Again, the show's logo appears alongside a drawn SpongeBob in a slate-colored backdrop. SpongeBob plays his nose as a flute. The late Stephen Hillenburg is billed at the end.

On the April 1, 2017 airing of "Funny Pants," the episode's theme song is replaced with an April Fool's Day/Rock version, with differences being that it is foggy, less colored, and has clips from "Krabby Road." This theme song returned on a March 31, 2018 airing of "Mimic Madness" and "House Worming." It played again during an April 1, 2020 airing of "New Fish in Town" and "Love That Squid."

Uses the same exact footage as the "Truth or Square " version, with the exception of Captain and Bikini Atoll and is edited to be on time with the original theme music instead of the CeeLo Green version.

A large inspiration to Hillenburg was Ween's 1997 album The Mollusk, which had a nautical and underwater theme. Hillenburg contacted the band shortly after the album's release, explaining the baseline ideas for SpongeBob SquarePants, and also requested a song from the band, which they sent on Christmas Eve. This song was "Loop de Loop", which was used in the episode "Your Shoe's Untied".[35][36][37]

The execs from Nickelodeon flew out to Burbank, and we pitched it to them from the storyboards. We had squeezy toys, wore Hawaiian shirts, and used a boom box to play the Tiny Tim song ['Livin' in the Sunlight, Lovin' in the Moonlight'] that comes on in the third act. We really went all out in that pitch because we knew the pilot lived or died by if the execs laughed. When it was over, they walked out of the room to discuss it. We figured they would fly back to New York and we'd hear in a few weeks. We were surprised when they came back in what seemed like minutes and said they wanted to make it.

While pitching the cartoon to Nickelodeon executives, Hillenburg donned a Hawaiian shirt, brought along an "underwater terrarium with models of the characters", and played Hawaiian music to set the theme. The setup was described by Nickelodeon executive Eric Coleman as "pretty amazing".[38] They were given money and two weeks to write the pilot episode "Help Wanted".[38] Drymon, Hillenburg, and Jennings returned with what was described by Nickelodeon official Albie Hecht as, "a performance [he] wished [he] had on tape".[38] Although executive producer Derek Drymon described the pitch as stressful, he said it went "very well".[38] Kevin Kay and Hecht had to step outside because they were "exhausted from laughing", which worried the cartoonists.[38]

Since 2004, the SpongeBob crew has periodically collaborated with the LA-based animation studio Screen Novelties to create stop-motion sequences for special episodes. The studio produced a brief claymation scene for the climax of the first theatrical film.[107] It was re-enlisted in 2009 to create an exclusive opening for the series' tenth anniversary special.[108][109] The abominable snow mollusk, an octopus-like creature made of clay who acts as the antagonist of the double-length episode "Frozen Face-Off", was also animated by the company.[110] Animation World Network reported that "within the SpongeBob creative team, there was always talk of doing a more involved project together" with Screen Novelties.[110] As a result, the group was asked to create an episode animated entirely in stop motion in 2011. This project became "It's a SpongeBob Christmas!",[111] which reimagined the show's characters as if they were part of a Rankin/Bass holiday film.[112] Tom Kenny, who is normally uninvolved in the writing process, contributed to the episode's plot; he said in 2012 that he and Nickelodeon "wanted to do something just like those old school, stop-motion Rankin-Bass holiday specials ... which I watched over and over again when I was a kid growing up in Syracuse."[107] Unconventional materials such as baking soda, glitter, wood chips and breakfast cereal were used in mass quantities to create the special's sets.[113] Members of the Screen Novelties crew received one win and two nominations at the 30th Annie Awards,[114] a nomination at the 2013 Golden Reel Awards,[115] and a nomination at the 2013 Annecy International Animated Film Festival for animating the episode.[116] The team built a dolphin puppet named Bubbles, voiced by Matt Berry, for The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water.[117] Sequences involving Bubbles included a blend of stop motion and traditional animation. A second special animated in stop motion, themed around Halloween and using the same Rankin/Bass-inspired character models, was produced for season 11.[118][119]

Mark Harrison and Blaise Smith composed the SpongeBob SquarePants theme song.[121] Its lyrics were written by Stephen Hillenburg and the series' original creative director Derek Drymon. The melody was inspired by the sea shanty "Blow the Man Down".[39] An old oil painting of a pirate is used in the opening sequence. Dubbed "Painty the Pirate", according to Tom Kenny, Hillenburg found it in a thrift shop "years ago".[47] Patrick Pinney voices Painty the Pirate, singing the theme song as the character.[39] Hillenburg's lips were imposed onto the painting and move along with the lyrics.[47] Kenny joked this is "about as close of a glimpse as most SpongeBob fans are ever going to get of Steve Hillenburg", because of his private nature.[39]

A cover of the song by Avril Lavigne can be found on the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie soundtrack.[122][123] Another cover by the Violent Femmes aired on Nickelodeon as a promotion when the series moved to prime time.[124]

Steve Belfer, one of Hillenburg's friends from CalArts, wrote and performed the music heard over the end credits.[44] This theme includes ukulele music at Hillenburg's request.[44] Drymon said, "It's so long ago, it's hard to be sure, but I remember Hillenburg having the Belfer music early on, maybe before the pilot".[44]

On February 11, 2019, Nickelodeon announced it would recognize the twentieth anniversary of SpongeBob SquarePants with a series of celebrations known as the "Best Year Ever".[141][142] In honor of the anniversary, Pantone created color shades known as "SpongeBob SquarePants Yellow" and "Patrick Star Pink" to be used by Nickelodeon's licensing partners.[143][144][145] Romero Britto, Jon Burgerman, and the Filipino art collective Secret Fresh were commissioned by Nickelodeon to create art pieces devoted to SpongeBob SquarePants. Some of these pieces were to be adapted into commercial products.[143][144] On February 12, in conjunction with Nickelodeon's announcement of the "Best Year Ever", Cynthia Rowley presented a SpongeBob SquarePants-themed wetsuit during New York Fashion Week.[146][147][148] A month later, Marlou Breuls presented the SpongeBob SquarePants-themed "Icon Collection" during Amsterdam Fashion Week.[149][150] That summer, Nike, in collaboration with Kyrie Irving, released a SpongeBob SquarePants series of shoes, accessories, and apparel.[151] In July, for the first time ever, SpongeBob SquarePants became the theme of a cosmetics line, which was released as a limited time offering by HipDot Studios.[146][152][153] The "Best Year Ever" also introduced an official SpongeBob SquarePants YouTube channel and a new mobile game based on the series, along with new toy lines.[145][146]

A clip was posted to YouTube in February 2013 that features soldiers in the Russian army and navy singing the SpongeBob SquarePants theme song as they march.[229][230] According to the website that uploaded the video, this is one of the "most popular marching songs" in the Russian military.[229] The video garnered nearly 50,000 views within its first week.[230]

Following Hillenburg's death in November 2018, more than 1.2 million fans signed a petition for the National Football League to have the song "Sweet Victory" from the season 2 episode "Band Geeks" performed in his honor at the Super Bowl LIII halftime show. Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium's Twitter account, the venue of the show, tweeted a GIF of SpongeBob dancing in "Band Geeks" in December. Maroon 5 who were performing at the game, included a brief clip of SpongeBob in a preview video, leading fans to believe the song would be performed. While the song's opening was ultimately included, it served as a transition into artist Travis Scott's set, which left many fans disappointed.[231][232] In response to fans' disappointment at not hearing the complete "Sweet Victory" song during the halftime show at the Super Bowl LIII, the Dallas Stars of the National Hockey League showed a clip of the full "Sweet Victory" song during a game at the American Airlines Center. In the clip, the characters' band uniforms are recolored green after the Stars.[233][234] 2351a5e196
