"Back in Encino" is a song heard in the TV movie "Atlantis SquarePantis." It plays when Patchy dreams that he is back in Encino, California. He is overjoyed and plays it at a park for a period. People including an elderly man and a mother (plus her crying infant) look at him as if he is some insane person. All is well for Patchy until he drops his ice cream on the grass while sitting on a bench. He awakens near a big rock, realizing it was all a hallucination.

Lyrics[]

You gotta believe
I'm back in Encino
You gotta believe
Oh, it was out of sight
You gotta believe
I'm back in Encino
You gotta believe
That everything's all right
Sky above and ground below
Great to be back in Encino
It was lost some time ago
Just glad to be back home
You gotta believe
I'm back in Encino
You gotta believe
Oh, it was out of sight
You gotta believe
I'm back in Encino
You gotta believe
That everything's all right
You gotta believe
I'm back in Encino
You gotta believe
Oh, it was out of sight
You gotta believe
I'm back in Encino
You gotta believe
That everything's all right
