Then it is revealed that the viewer can get the album if they send the Krabby Patty formula to Plankton at the Chumbucket Bikini Bottom, USA.

Songs

"Come All Ye Fearful"

O, come all ye fearful

Cower as I crush you!

"I'll Rule the World"

I'll rule the world, and everyone

You will... bow down... to me!

Deck the halls with fists of fury.

Ha ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha!

Dink da da da dink da da da dink dink dink,

Trivia

Cultural references

Plankton's end quote, "Season's beatings, underlings," is a spoof of "Season's Greetings."
Plankton's songs are parodies of "Come All Ye Faithful," "Joy to the World," "Deck the Halls," and "The Nutcracker Suite" respectively.
Plankton's previous albums entitled Born to Chum and Krabby Road are parodies of Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run and The Beatles' Abbey Road respectively. "Krabby Road" was later used as a title of an episode, with its title card a parody of the back cover of "Abbey Road."
- Doug Lawrence, who voices Plankton, is, ironically, from South Brunswick, New Jersey, which is about 15 miles from Freehold, where Bruce Springsteen was born.

Errors

In the Chum Bucket address, it is misspelled as "Chumbucket".
This short states that Bikini Bottom is part of the United States, despite it being implied in the fact that there is a Bikini Bottom National Anthem that "Bikini Bottom" is the name of the country that the city of Bikini Bottom is in.
