"Electric Zoo " is a techno/breakbeat song heard in the episode "Krab Borg ." Mr. Krabs listens to it while counting his money , to great enjoyment. He loves the song so much he asks the radio station to play it again. This song also plays as the episode's title card music.
The song's title is said by a radio DJ . Despite the title being "Electric Zoo," Mr. Krabs basically calls it "the one that goes Beep boo-doo bop boo-doo beep," making SpongeBob confused because, only hearing him say this misunderstood title, he comes to the conclusion that Mr. Krabs is a robot.
The song was composed by series writer/executive producer Paul Tibbitt and solely uses instruments.
