There's an ocean of reasons Nickelodeon fans and moviegoers will want to own the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie soundtrack, not least of which is its cover art. Even if such aesthetic considerations bore you--even if the movie itself bores you, you'll want to dive right in, because the packaging pales in comparison to the content. Skate-punk queen Avril Lavigne cranks up the guitars for a caffeinated cover of the cartoon theme; the Flaming Lips figure out what happens when "SpongeBob & Patrick Confront the Psychic Wall of Energy;" alt-rock heroes Wilco revisit music simpler than what's on their latest discs with "Just a Kid;" and indie rockers the Shins let it rip on "They'll Soon Discover." Lesser-known acts Ween and Electrocute also contribute, and they're matched in the keep-up-the-tempo challenge by characters including Patrick. His track, the barely listenable "Under My Rock," earns him the dubious distinction of the disc's biggest bellyflopper, but overall audiences will be squeezed to find a recent soundtrack as absorbing. --Tammy La Gorce
Album Description
The Nickelodeon series "Spongebob Squarepants"--a sharp, funny cartoon that attracts more viewers than any other program on the channel and has spawned a $2 billion-a-year franchise--reaches the big screen with The Sponge Boy SquarePants Movie. Its album features music written for the animation plus live action film and perfrormed by a Modern Rock roster appealing to the show's college audience, including The Flaming Lips, Wilco, The Shins and The Dust Brothers' Mike Simpson. The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie: Music From the Movie and More-slated to be in a bright yellow jewel case-is destined to be that rare soundtrack that is both a favorite of kids and a college cult classic.

This soundtrack is SO much fun! Oh, I can't wait for the movie on November 19. Let's start with the first track, 'SpongeBob SquarePants Theme' by Avril Lavigne. It's actually pretty good. Has a modern touch to the Hawaiian-sounding TV theme.
Track No. 2, 'SpongeBob and Patrick Confront the Psychic Wall of Energy'. This is a great song. Very laid back. Makes you kinda wanna sway to the music (hehehe... like seaweed in the ocean). And I love the title. The Flaming Lips are pretty good.
Track No. 3, 'Just a Kid', by Wilco. Great guitar intro. It fits right in with the rest of the songs.
Track No. 4, 'The Goofy Goober Song'. OH MY GOD! This song is so infectious. And very simple to learn. "I'm a Goofy Goober Yeah You're a Goofy Goober Yeah We're all Goofy Goober's Yeah Goofy Goofy Goober Goober Yeah!" This has become my favorite track on the entire CD.
Track No. 5, 'Prince Paul's Bubble Party', by Prince Paul, The Waikikis, & Wordsworth. A great little rap song which is just an overview of the episode "Bubblestand", with actual sound clips. Great fun!
Track No. 6, 'Bikini Bottom' by Electrocute. Great song with a great sound. Amazingly fun to dance and sing to.
Track No.'s 7-14, 'The Best Day Ever', 'They'll Soon Discover', 'Ocean Man', 'Under My Rock', 'Now That We're Men', 'Goofy Goober Rock', 'You Better Swim', and 'The Jellyfish Song by the Jellyfish Band'. There were too many tracks to review individually, so I lumped 7-14 into one review. These songs sound great and are really fun to dance to.
Track No. 15, 'SpongeBob SquarePants Theme(Movie Version)'. LOL! This is great. It's sung by The Pirates and sounds orchestral, which it is, since the music is performed by an orchestra. But, it's funny.
I reccommend this album to everyone. I hesitated buying this this past Wednesday, but today, I was out again and couldn't resist! So I bought the CD and am still listening to it. Enjoy!!
This is a really fun CD November 29, 2004

This is a great CD.
Most of the songs are good
I am just going to comment on my favorite tracks:
Track 1 - Sponge Bob Theme by Avril Lavine. This is fun, fast and short. 4/5
Track 3 - Just a kid (Wilco) - Great lyrics and a great guitar riff. 4\5
Track 4 - Goofy Goober Theme Song - This song is a lot of fun and very catchy. 5/5
Track 5 - Prince Paul's Bubble Party - Great old school rap song with a lot of samples from the movie. I love this song. 5/5.
Track 6 - Bikini Bottom (electrocute) - My Favorite song on the album. It is like the B52'S + the Goo Goo's + upbeat techo. The lyrics are clever and fun. Great to dance to. 5/5
Track 8 - They'll soon Discover (the shins) - This is a typical Shins song. Since the shins are awesome. 5/5
Track 9 - Ocean Man (ween) - This song is wierd but really Catchy and fun. 5/5.
If you like the Shins and the Flaming Lips they are going to be on Austin City Limits (PBS) on Dec 18. It should be awesome.
probably just as good as the movie will be November 10, 2004

i bought the album on iTunes and loved it! With really cute songs such as "Its the best day ever" and "Under my rock" (which are songs ment to make you lol (laugh out loud)) this soudtrack also made my parents smile. Plus with avril lavigne singing the theme song nothin could be better for me. I hope the movie is just as good.
 This sucks November 27, 2004

I hate the soundtrack. I hate Avril levine. And I cannot believe that people would actually think of buying this poop. Sponge bob is the funniest thing on tv and in theaters, but this soundtrack has so far proven that the makers of the funniest movie in America cannot have ears or in general do not have musicalbuds. Christ almighty please burn this thing. [...] But do not I repeate donot Buy this horrible devise of DOOOOOOOOOM and torture. Believe me it will cause the apocalypse.
Great album for a great movie November 29, 2004

The person below obviously doesn't know anything about good music. Some very good bands were selected for this album. Allow me to show you...*Ahem* MY REVIEW
Track 1: Spongebob Squarepants Theme (Avril Lavigne) - I don't like Avril Lavigne, but this version of the theme song is OK. Could be better but her voice kind of ruins it. 2/5
Track 2: Spongebob and Patrick Confront the Psychic Wall of Energy (The Flaming Lips) - A very nice, happy sounding peaceful song. This is one of the best on the whole album. I love the way it's sung. The music video is also good. 5/5
Track 3: Just a Kid (Wilco) - A REALLY catchy song. I like the part where the weird kids come in singing "Na na na na na na na na na!" This is fun to listen to. 4/5
Track 4: The Goofy Goober Song (Mike Simpson) - Just like what Mr. Tex said, this is my favorite on the album and is irresistibly catchy. I really like the drum & bass parts, and I LOVE the demented little children in the background going "Blah blah blah blah blah blah". This is hilarious. 6/5
Track 5: Prince Paul's Bubble Party (The Waikikis, Prince Paul & Wordsworth) - I don't really like rap music, but this track is somewhat decent. Most of it is samples from the Bubble Stand episode of Spongebob Squarepants. 3/5
Track 6: Bikini Bottom (Electrocute) - I really don't like this one. It's too poppy and happy and annoying. The only thing that saves this from getting 0 is the fact that I like the keyboard parts. 1/5
Track 7: The Best Day Ever (SpongeBob) - A fun bouncy song with a mix of instruments. Sounds kind of like The Beach Boys. The only thing I really don't like about is SpongeBob's voice. 4/5
Track 8: They'll Soon Discover (The Shins) - A really good track, even if I can't understand what the heck the guy is saying. Very good rhythm. 5/5
Track 9: Ocean Man (Ween) - Really really catchy. The ukulele sounds very nice against the guitar and the demented vocal. And the guitar solo is nice. Much better then the Loop de Loop song the band did for You're Shoe's Untied. 5/5
Track 10: Under my Rock (Patrick) - There's just something about this song I really like, but I can't put my finger on it. Maybe it's the nice keyboard part, harmonica, or the goofy lyrics. It's good. 5/5
Track 11: Now That We're Men (Spongebob, Patrick, & The Monsters) - A good song, but it's ruined on here! It's really all about the visual humor of the scene where Spongebob and Patrick sing this song in the movie. Plus, now the knee slapping part doesn't make any sense! 3/5
Track 12: Goofy Goober Rock (Tom Rothrock with Jim Wise) - This is one of the better-known pieces on the album. It's good but I like Mike Simpson's version better. The way they use this song in the movie is hilarious! 4/5
Track 13: You Better Swim (Motorhead) - This is my least favorite on the album. I dunno. I guess I just don't like this kind of music. The guy's voice irritates me and the guitar riff is really boring. 0/5
Track 14: The Jellyfish Song by The Jellyfish Band (Plus-Tech Squeezebox Featuring SpongeBob) - A catchy, fast, mostly instrumental keyboard number. I kind of wish it was longer. 4/5
Track 15: Spongebob Squarepants Theme (Movie Version) (The Pirates) - Pretty much the opposite of Avril Lavigne's version of the theme. Kind of relaxing. A very good way to wrap up this album. 5/5
In a nutshell: A good soundtrack for the movie. Although it could have been better at parts, it's pretty solid and nice to listen to. Recommended.
