Episode 9: Bartmania A

Welcome to SpongeBob Music Minute. Today, we’ll be going in depth into the track “Bartmania A” and we’ll do it all within 60 seconds.  “Bartmania A” is an Associated Production Music track composed by Guy Moon. In SpongeBob, it plays in the series premiere “Help Wanted”, and can be heard when the anchovies arrive and attack the Krusty Krab. This episode is the track’s one and only appearance on the series. “Bartmania A” is a very catchy tune and, as the title suggests, it is clearly based on The Simpsons theme song. Outside of SpongeBob, this track also made an appearance on the Fairly Odd Parents… in an episode entitled “Channel Chasers” … and during a scene that directly parodies The Simpsons.  It’s a good track, and I’d like to hear it again sometime, but I don’t imagine there are too many places it would fit in a modern SpongeBob episode. Well, that’s all the time we have for today. Until next time, thanks for listening to SpongeBob Music Minute.
