The SpongeBob SquarePants Theme Song is the intro used at the beginning of every SpongeBob SquarePants episode. It is performed by Painty the Pirate and a group of kids. Other versions have been made for special events and episodes.
The theme song sequence was produced in the middle of season 1, and it was given its own production code: "127," meaning the 27th segment made for season one; the production code was shared with a new version of the pilot episode, "Help Wanted," which included a different title card among other minor tweaks. The pilot was originally made without a production code and with an entirely different title sequence.
The theme song sequence begins on a wall with Painty (alongside his parrot) in a frame with a realistic mouth, telling the kids offscreen that if they are ready. Then a view of Bikini Atoll is shown, followed by a bubble transition going down to SpongeBob's house (Squidward's house can also be seen on the left). While opening his door, SpongeBob is...

General
•The title card logo was nicknamed "The Colored DoodleBob" (post-Frankendoodle,) the one that has been called by fans. •The theme song's production code is 127. It shares this code with the broadcast version of "Help Wanted." The theme song was storyboarded between "Reef Blower" (126) and "Valentine's Day" (128). •An orchestral version of the theme song is played in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade ever since 2014. •According to the "Backstage Pants" special feature on the Nautical Nonsense and Sponge Buddies DVD, it's stated by Derek Drymon that, "Steve [Hillenburg]'s idea was to try to make the most annoying song you can…so when Saturday morning, when kids turn the TV on and parents are trying to sleep, you have this pirate screaming in the other room for the kids to jump on the floor." •An instrumental version of the theme song can be heard on main menus of the Tide and Seek, Christmas, The Complete 1st Season, The Complete 2nd Season, Sponge for Hire, Nick For the Holidays!, Sponge Crazy, Holidays with SpongeBob 3-DVD Gift Set, The Complete First Season, The Complete Second Season, The First & Second Seasons, and Movies & TV Collection DVDs. •Captain Maggot of Emilie Autumn's musical group likes to sing this song. •The version used for Square Roots version was sung by Avril Lavigne. •The theme song plays low-pitched rarely in airings on Nicktoons USA. •A stop-motion opening with Cee-Lo Green performing the theme was seen in "Truth or Square." •It is later used in "The Legend of Boo-Kini Bottom," but it includes Captain and uses the normal singers. •In non-USA airings of seasons 1-6 and early season 7 up until "The Abrasive Side"/"Earworm" and excluding the "Legends of Bikini Bottom" episodes, and some USA DVD releases, an orange Nickelodeon flag logo is added to the show logo at the end of the intro. •Plankton's ringtone in the episode, "Fear of a Krabby Patty," is a sped-up version of the show's theme song. •In The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, when Burger Beard begins reading the story to some talking seagulls, the seagulls begin to sing the theme song, but Burger Beard orders them to stop before they can finish, threatening them with death. At the end of the movie, having accepted defeat, Kyle, a younger seagull, asks him if they can sing it. They put a hat on Burger Beard and a picture frame around him, and Burger Beard reluctantly agrees to lead them in singing the song. The scene then becomes animated with Burger Beard replaced by the Captain, and audio from the TV version of the theme song is used. •At the beginning of the second movie, when the camera localizes the Bikini Atoll, the final notes from the theme song are heard. •Also, this final scene reveals that Burger Beard is the original performer of the theme song as the Captain or Painty the Pirate, meaning the chorus of children might have been his seagulls all along. •At the end of The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run, the ending of the song plays during the "In Memory of Stephen Hillenburg" message. •In "Atlantis SquarePantis," when Potty calls Patchy by telephone, the final notes from the theme song can be heard as Patchy's ringtone. •After season 1, the animation in season 2 was changed to digital ink and paint. Despite the transition to HD in season 9, the song remained cel-animated and in standard definition until the episode "Lame and Fortune." Starting with that episode, a new digitally-animated theme song in high definition is used instead. •On August 5, 2015, in tweets by Vincent Waller on Twitter, it was confirmed that a 16:9 HDTV/widescreen version of the theme song was in the works. •Nearly a year later on June 30, 2016, in a tweet by Vincent Waller, it was confirmed that the 16:9 HDTV/widescreen version of the theme song had been finished and was set to be publicly released in July 2016. •On July 9, 2016, the 16:9 HDTV/widescreen version of the theme song premiered during a rerun airing of "Eek, an Urchin!" and "Squid Defense" and is now used on all widescreen episodes. The 4:3 standard definition intro is still used on pre-season 9 episodes. •As a result, the show went a full 17 years without the 16:9 HDTV/widescreen version of the theme song from May 1, 1999 to July 2016. As other pre-2011 Nicktoons and long running shows had a widescreen intro produced before switching, including The Fairly OddParents. •This song was also featured in the online game Nick Jr. Radio for some reason. •There are at least six production images featured in the protective case of The SpongeBob SquarePants Experience: A Deep Dive into the World of Bikini Bottom. •The theme song has been very popular when reversed, as the backwards lyrics sound inappropriate to some people. •The opening lines of the song were lines that Stephen Hillenburg had to say to kids when he worked as a fake sailor at the Orange County Marine Institute. However, Hillenburg used the Early Modern English, "ye," instead of the more contemporary "you." •In "Sanitation Insanity," SpongeBob's holes whistle the last notes of the theme song. •In "Old Man Patrick," SpongeBob sang the opening part of the theme song. This also occurs in "Handemonium." •In "Karen's Virus," Karen sings a warped version of the theme song in her delusional state. •In "SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout," during the "Birthday Song" rendition of the theme song, SpongeBob sings "Me! Me! Me! Me!" in place of the choir saying his name in the first verse of the theme song. He also sings his own name in the final verse but his pants do not fall off like they do in the regular theme song. •In "Krusty Koncessionaires," SpongeBob plays his nose as a flute similarly to how he does in the theme song. •The song is re-recorded for Employee of the Month, the console version of Revenge of the Flying Dutchman, and the original console version of Battle for Bikini Bottom. This version still has Pat Pinney voicing Painty. Battle for Bikini Bottom's remake used the original recording of the song instead. •In the "Who Lives in a banana under the sea?" variant, the word "banana" is pronounced in a "bah-nah-ner" instead of the American pronunciation. •In Battle for Bikini Bottom: Rehydrated and The Cosmic Shake, SpongeBob wrestles the same way he does in one of the idles. •In Nickverse, there was a Lunchables AD event, you get a radio that plays the SpongeBob SquarePants theme song but it appears to be the instrumental version. Referencing this song in Nickverse. •The theme song was referenced in other media such as the commercial for the McDonald's SpongeBob sport toys. It was even parodied in VH1 ILL-ustrated's SpongeBong HempPants. It was also referenced in Minecraft as one of the splash texts that come up on the title screen reads "Lives in a Pineapple Under The Sea!," making a reference to the SpongeBob SquarePants Theme Song. •In The Mr. Men Show episode "Ships," Mr. Persnickety says "I can’t hear you!" to the tune of the SpongeBob SquarePants Theme Song. •The sheet music for this theme song was used in the title card background for "Mandatory Music." •As well as that, when SpongeBob plays on his nose in the episode, it's exactly like how he does on the series' theme song. •In some other countries, the intro footages are different. •For instance, in the Albanian, European Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, and Macedonian versions, it uses footage in which no text is to be seen except the logo (where it shows the international text of that show,) including a portions of a bubble of SpongeBob and where SpongeBob jumps between rocks and cliffs rather than his name in massive font.
Cultural references
•The song's melody is derived from the sea shanty "Blow The Man Down." •A carnival version of the song is heard playing in "The Krusty Sponge."
Errors
•During international TV airings of the episodes "Texas"/"Walking Small" and "Extreme Spots"/"Squirrel Record," the show's logo is textless at the end of the intro. This does not happen with Germany, France, and a few other countries as they use their own localized versions of the intro.
