"Wahini Wobble" was composed by Nicolas Carr, Sage Guyton, and Jeremy Wakefield. The instruments being played in the piece are a bass and a pedal steel guitar by Jeremy Wakefield, a ukulele by Sage Guyton, and drums and percussion by Nicolas Carr. It is mostly used for title cards and endings, usually relating to Patrick or SpongeBob. It somewhat serves as a replacement for "Grass Skirts Blowing."
There is a mix without the pedal steel guitar, "Wahini Wobble No Lead/Underscore," and a slightly, though nearly not noticeable, sped up version, "Wahini Wobble Faster." Ego Plum remixed this track in "SpongeBob in RandomLand."
