Avril Lavigne to sing SpongeBob SquarePants theme song

Avril Lavigne is to sing the SpongeBob SquarePants theme song on the soundtrack for the children's animated film.

She heads a list of 'alternative' artists selected by Stephen Hillenburg, the creator of the Nickelodeon series, for the soundtrack.

Avril's contribution, featuring the chorus: "Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? SpongeBob SquarePants!", is said to be something of a musical departure.

The soundtrack will also feature contributions from the Flaming Lips, Wilco, The Shins, Ween and Motorhead.

Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne says he enjoyed making his band's song, SpongeBob and Patrick Confront the Psychic Wall of Energy, which is to be released as a single.

"I actually suggested that maybe I could try to get Justin Timberlake to do a duet with us, as an off-the-cuff idea," Coyne said.

"But Hillenburg said: "I don't want any of those sort of commercial weirdos on there. I don't like those commercial people. I like you guys, and Wilco and Ween.

"Hillenburg wanted people who liked SpongeBob, who felt some kinship with the characters, and the absurdness and surreal-ness of it, and I truly think the show is clever and funny and sick."

Flaming Lips, Wilco, Ween, The Shins? It's a Spongebob movie!

SpongeBob and Patrick Confront the Psychic Wall of Energy sounds like the best song ever.

 

[Manabanana]

Fuck. I like Wilco, I love the Shins, I fucking hate Sponge Bob.

 

[Jim Bowie]

I feel ya. Besides the Wilco and The Shins.

[=W=]

bah, Spongebob is great and the soundtrack sounds awesome (except for Avril).

 

[Cool]

"But Hillenburg said: "I don't want any of those sort of commercial weirdos on there. I don't like those commercial people. I like you guys, and Wilco and Ween.

And Avril is not commercial? This sucks.

 

[GG-Duo]

the mothertruck? i'm going to have to pick up the spongebob movie soundtrack now?

 

[BuddyC]

It's been months since I heard the Flaming Lips and Wilco would be on the soundtrack, but I still can't process it.

 

[Vark]

Not terribly surprising. One of the spongbob DVD's has a live video of the Violent Femmes singing the themesong.

The cool people know where its at

 

[Star Power]

Spongebob is awesome.

 

[Star Power]

And Avril is not commercial? This sucks.

Well he had to get one commercial act to actually sell the soundtrack...

 

[AeroGod]

Fuck. I like Wilco, I love the Shins, I fucking hate Sponge Bob.

Dude SpongeBob is awesome. One of the funniest "kid's" cartoon to ever come out

"Patrick : You're a man now, SpongeBob, and it's time you started acting like one.
SpongeBob : Yeah. Oh, but I'm not sure how.
Patrick : Allow me to demonstrate. First, puff out your chest.
[SpongeBob puffs out his chest]
Patrick : Now say, "tax exemption."
SpongeBob : Tax exemption.
Patrick : Now you must develop a taste for free-form jazz.
[Both listen intently to jazz music]
Patrick : Okay, you're ready. "

"[SpongeBob has shaped himself in the form of Texas to irritate Sandy]
SpongeBob SquarePants : Hey, Patrick. What am I?
Patrick : Stupid?
SpongeBob SquarePants : No, I'm Texas.
Patrick : What's the difference? "

:lol Love that show. Cant wait for the movie.

 

[tedtropy]

Did you think that I was going to give it up to Bob, this time-e-i-e-i...

 

[Meier]

I seriously might have to see this movie and/or buy the soundtrack now. The Shins, The Flips, Wilco?!

 

[Star Power]

I love the episode when they kept cursing. That was like the funniest thing EVER.

 

[Overseer]

That's (sound of random sea animal)

What the (foghorn)


LOLOLOLOLOL

 

[levious]

How can you not like Spongebob? That's like saying you hate babies.

 

[LinesInTheSand]

Yay, a soundtrack of GAF like elitist music. Gag me with a spoon.

 

[tedtropy]

How can you not like Spongebob? That's like saying you hate babies.

Babies crap, cry, and seem to enjoy farting whenever anybody hands me one saying 'isn't he/she cute'. What's to like?

 

[Raw64life]

Well there is an episode of SpongeBob where all the music in the episode is done by Pantera. The show is hilarious, but they haven't made any new episodes in forever, or if they did I don't know about it because I don't watch Nickelodeon outside of the show.

 

[Go Go Ackman!]

The only time Avril Lavigne's voice should be heard is if she's manning the drive-through window at McDonalds

I'm just waiting for her to follow further into Alanis' steps and become apologetic in her stuff. Maybe then, the world will realize...
