Spongebob Squarepants: The Best Day Ever

SpongeBob SquarePants has his Best Day Ever! All new original music- created and written by Tom Kenny, the voice of SpongeBob and producer Andy Paley, who are accompanied by a crew of legendary musicians - including Brian Wilson, Tommy Ramone and Flaco Jimenez. The album presents the work of the soon-to-be-legendary animated band - SpongeBob & The Hi-Seas - whose debut record is being previewed on Bikini Bottom's WH2O. With cleverly crafted interstitials that play like a retro-modern rock and roll radio show, mixed with soon-to-be classic modern songs, the album comprises a fun-filled 26 tracks!

It was only a matter of time before SpongeBob Squarepants became a star big enough to pull off a concept album. Where so many other megawatt celebrities, be they living and land-based or fictional and sea-dwelling, can get all high-minded and grand when cobbling together a theme for their music, though, our man Sponge proves he's as humble and porous as ever on The Best Day Ever, a 26-track bonanza that delivers us into WH2O studios for a "live broadcast" from Bikini Bottom. Under the phony programmatic direction of snazzy DJ Al Bacore (get it?), SpongeBob & the Hi-Seas--a motley assemblage of characters including Plankton, Squidward, Patrick, Mr. Krabs, Pearl, and Sandy--trot out 13 songs between often gut-busting station-based interstitials (in one, hapless caller Patrick can't figure out he's supposed to turn down his radio to hear). The music and lyrics, if not the intentionally doofusy vocals, are inspired: Brian Wilson (how did they get him to agree to this?) sings backup on "Doin' the Krabby Patty," Flaco Jimenez lends Latin flair squeezebox-style on "Barnacles!," and Tommy Ramone of the Ramones hammers out a punkish percussive number on "Ridin' the Hook." Through it all, even when he's baring his soul in a heartwarming serenade to his tighty whiteys, SpongeBob's nice-guy persona sets a friendly, happy tone: the mood, loud and clear as a seal's bark, is pure best-day-ever celebration; the master of ceremonies works his yellowness, squareness and general dim-wittedness to masterful effect. --Tammy La Gorce

My kids love this CD. We play it in the car and sing with it over and over.

According to my 7 year old grandson, "Love it! Love it! Love it! Love it!" This is the best song to start the day! The other music is fun, too.

I dont have enough time to write something about each of these songs, but this cd is great!!! My favorite songs are: The Best Day Ever, Employee of the Month, Barnacles, Doing the Krabby Patty and Bikini Bottom/Rock Bottom. I reccomend this cd to Spongebob lovers.SpongeBob SquarePants - Season 4, Vol. 1SpongeBob SquarePants - Season 4, Vol. 2

Get ready for an amazing experience that will change your listening habits....then put on this album. The first song is a mind-blower! "The Best Day Ever" seems like a cute little summer fun song but after you get into it you realize that musically it's really heavy! This is like a Beach Boys song that sucks you in with it's cute little beat and lyric and then knocks you out with it's musical sophistication. The next song is "Employee Of The Month". This is pure power-pop. The Who circa 1966 meets The Turtles.WOW!!! "Under My Rock" is sung by Patrick. This is classic garage-rock. Rave-up at the end reminds me of The Count Five. "My Tighty Whiteys" is simply the best song and best production that has been released since the hey day of the Brill Building. Again...this seems simple but it's super sophisticated! My vote for best bridge since "Wouldn't It Be Nice?". Andy Paley and Tom Kenny are a great writing team! This is what's missing from pop music! There is something for every pop music fan on this album. Guest stars include...Brian Wilson , Mandy Barnett, Nino Tempo , Tommy Ramone, Flaco Jimenez, James Burton , N.R.B.Q., Tommy Morgan , Jerry "The Geator" Blavett etc.. I never get tired of this record. It's on in my car all the time. I've given it to all my hip friends and they all love it , as do their young kids and their stoner , college-age kids! It's a HIT!!!!

my granddaughter truly enjoyed this we often listen to it while doing chores and sing along
