Role in episode[]
Patrick writes this song and submits it to Bigshot Records for $100, to make it into a song. The singers die after they finish the song.
After receiving his song, Patrick decides to play it on a large loudspeaker at SpongeBob's house. The house gets destroyed as they both listen to it. Patrick asks SpongeBob if he liked the song, to which he answers it was the best song he ever heard. They go to a local radio station to submit the song, but they get kicked out. SpongeBob and Patrick decide to climb up on the radio antenna and play the song there so the whole town can listen to it.
Everyone, except Old Man Walker, SpongeBob, Patrick, and a few other people, finds the song horrible. As a result, it causes a total havoc which makes the citizens form an angry mob with pitchforks and torches and run to the radio signal antenna to find out who is playing this song.
Lyrics[]
NOTE: Lyrics in red are cut off when the song is first heard at SpongeBob's house but are played when the song is later heard from atop K-BLUB.
The verse about the sandwich is the only part of the song that rhymes.
The lines "and smells like it's been dead" and "PU, what's that horrible smell" are a reference to a remark Squidward made to Patrick while writing this song.
The second verse seems to correspond to the scene wherein Patrick writes the song: writing it is hard for him, he uses a pencil to do so, and Squidward complains about the horrible smell.
This is Patrick's first written song in the series.
