My review of "Music from the SpongeBob Squarepants Movie" at Amazon.com.
Since my daughter is both an Avril Lavigne and Sponge Bob fan, I decided to pick up this album when I realized I couldn't have Green Day's "American Idiot" with its explicit lyrics around the house.
Avril's cover of the SpongeBob theme is Grade A! Too bad it's too short, though, so I converted it to MP3 and using my MP3 editor made it loop back to "Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?" from the second "Sponge Bob Square Pants" after "Flop on the deck and flop like a fish" when I burned a copy for the car. My daughter loves the "remix". :-p
The only songs I couldn't stand listening to are Patrick's "Under My Rock" and the "Goofy Goober Rock", the latter being a sacrilegious cover of the Twisted Sister classic. Guess what? I put in "I Wanna Rock" in the CD I burned and it fits right in, coming just before Motorhead's "You Better Swim".
The truly kiddy stuff here is limited, Googy Goober Song, Best Day Ever, Now That We're Men and an opera style cover of the SpongeBob theme by the Pirates. And even those you can sing along to. Well, maybe not "Now That We're Men."
Overall, four stars. Make no mistake, this is the BEST soundtrack album to emerge in recent years. And maybe its not too late to remove "The Goofy Goober Rock" from the movie and replace whatever sequence it's in with animated sealife versions of Twisted Sister singing the original. ;-)
