The Best Day Ever

The Best Day Ever is a SpongeBob SquarePants album that was released on September 12, 2006. None of its songs, except "Best Day Ever," come from the show.

It is a concept album centered around Bikini Bottom's local radio station WH₂0 playing the greatest hits of SpongeBob and company's new band, SpongeBob and the Hi-Seas. Each song is book-ended by a short interlude from the radio station, as DJ and host The Tuneful Tuna announce each upcoming song - usually accompanied by various humorous events, such as advertisements, a weather report, and even a hijacking of the radio station by Plankton.

The songs themselves are all sung by various main characters of the show, and span multiple genres, including garage rock and psychedelic pop.
