Synopsis[]

Sing a Song of Patrick 041

Patrick's flashback.

SpongeBob and Patrick are at Near Mint Comic Books, and Patrick sees an ad for a mail-in offer promising to adapt a poem into a song. Patrick has a flashback while he is trying to write his poem at SpongeBob's house. He remembers a time from when he was younger in which he recited the poem: "Roses are blue. Violets are red. I have to go to the bathroom." The gym teacher told him that he had told him repeatedly that it was gym class, so he had the class throw dodgeballs at him.

Nonetheless, he has a plan to write his song fast so it would be a masterpiece and he will not get hit by dodgeballs again. Patrick takes SpongeBob's comic book money to enter $100 and submits an entry called "I Wrote This." The song does not make much sense and it is so awful that even the paper smells terrible when he submits it, and the band dies recording it. When the two listen to the song through a large loudspeaker, it turns out to be so bad that it melts down SpongeBob's house. SpongeBob, however, enforces to Patrick that it is the greatest song ever, so he and Patrick try to get the song on the radio.

Sing a Song of Patrick 083

"A-one and a-two.."

At the K-BLUB radio station, they are immediately kicked out, so, finding a different method, they climb up the radio tower and use a piece of chewed gum to stick the record player to the top of the antenna. The song is heard throughout the town, which causes rioting, literal head explosions, and a plane crash into a fireworks storage building. The town hates the song so much that they form an angry mob, which is headed by Fred. They yell about how much they hate the song and run SpongeBob and Patrick down to the ground.

While it looks like they are getting beat up, it turns out that SpongeBob and Patrick are making random noises with musical instruments and a chainsaw. Patrick said that was his new song called, "Aargh!" which the mob admits that it is not that bad, and it is better than the first one Patrick made. Patrick starts to sing the song in front of everyone until his old gym teacher arrives, saying that Patrick never learned his lesson, which leads to the two getting humiliated as the angry crowd pelts them with dodgeballs as punishment.

General[]

Cultural references[]

  • The title is a play on the nursery rhyme "Sing a Song of Sixpence."
  • The title of the song, "Twinkle, Twinkle, Patrick Star," is based on the nursery rhyme, "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star."
  • One of the comics in Near Mint Comic Books contains an image of a creature that looks similar to Godzilla.
  • There is a comic in Near Mint Comic Books called Atom, which is a reference to Atom, a DC Comics character.
  • When SpongeBob and Patrick climb up the radio tower, the space object that passes them resembles Sputnik 1, the Soviet Union's, and the world's first artificial satellite that was launched in 1957.
  • The radio mast on the K-BLUB radio station looks exactly like Warsaw Radio Mast in Poland, which was the world's tallest structure until it collapsed in 1991.
  • When the Band Manager at Bigshot Records explains to the band about having 17 more songs to finish in the hour, in the background is an album that references the 1994 Weezer album, the "Blue Album".

Errors[]

Fred's pants color error in Sing a Song of Patrick

Fred with blue pants.

  • When the record producer gives SpongeBob and Patrick the single copy of "I Wrote This," it is a CD. Later, when SpongeBob and Patrick are at the top of the radio tower, it is a vinyl record.
  • When Fred says, "Who's re-," from his line "Who's responsible for that song on the radio?" Incidental 27 lip syncs to what Fred says.
  • In one scene, Fred wears blue pants instead of brown pants.
  • In some countries, for example Indonesia, the "The Next Day" time card was cut for unknown reasons. The same error also happens in "Le Big Switch."
  • When Patrick gets scared of SpongeBob, the lights somehow switch on when no one switched them on.
  • In the Malay dub, Patrick's song is instrumental.
