Episode 1: Hawaiian Train

SpongeBob Music Minute – Episode 1 – Hawaiian Train Welcome to SpongeBob Music Minute. Today, we’ll be going in depth into the track “Hawaiian Train”— and we’ll do it all within 60 seconds. “Hawaiian Train” is an Associated Production Music Track composed by Victor Cavini. It first played during the title card of the series premier, “Help Wanted”, making it the first track to ever appear on the show. As of this recording, it last played during the season 9 episode “The Whole Tooth”. In total it has been used 10 times throughout the series— 9 times in episodes and ONCE as a DVD menu on “The First One-Hundred Episodes”. The track disappeared from the show for more than 7 years, after it’s appearance in “To Squarepants or Not to Squarepants” before finally returning in “The Whole Tooth”. “Hawaiian Train” is a nice little tune, and I really think it comes alive around the 19-second mark. It’s a shame that it hasn’t played more often, but I guess that makes those few appearances extra special! Well, that’s all the time we have for today. Until next time, thanks for listening to SpongeBob Music Minute.
