"The Tip Top Polka/The Cliff Polka" is a medley of two traditional polkas performed by the Chelmsford Folk Band. Much like "The Rake Hornpipe," it is known as the main theme music of the Krusty Krab and features accordions playing the main melody. It is officially replaced, starting with season 7, by "Jovial Pirate's Jig."
