* The Fun Song from the aptly titled "F.U.N." episode. Sing it with us: [[MemeticMutation F is for friends who do stuff together]], [[EarWorm U is for you and me]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myhynzAu76o N is for anywhere and anytime at all...]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL2CcVlx1p8 Saxaboogie]] is the go-to song to get any party up and hoppin'. No, seriously. [[EarWorm It's that good.]] It's commonly associated with Larry the Lobster and Goo Lagoon.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aCoXTXanQs "Who Am I"]] from "Mimic Madness" is a [[EarWorm catchy]] yet [[TearJerker depressing]] song that wouldn't be out of place in a musical. The best part is that it's a serious SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for Creator/TomKenny, as ''every'' word [=SpongeBob=] sang in the entire song (which featured several impressions, even including the entire main male cast) was him, showing off his incredible vocal range.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQDTKPbwxUw "The Lineman"]], while technically not made for [=SpongeBob=][[note]]It was composed for NFL Documentaries[[/note]], is nonetheless one of the most memorable songs used on the show thanks to being the theme of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. It's a very jazzy tune evocative of the '60s ''Series/{{Batman}}'' show.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-nBle4PfA4 "Bossy Boots Song"]], performed by The Capsules for the episode "Bossy Boots". It's [[TastesLikeDiabetes cutesy, sugary, saccharine bubblegum pop-rock]] 100% of the way... [[TropesAreTools and it's]] [[SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel absolutely spectacular.]] Better yet, if you listen to the lyrics, it's about how the singer has a dream about how awesome [=SpongeBob=]'s world was, then goes swimming in the ocean to find it because they want to relive it.

%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEvgNY6Pkvg Don't Be A Jerk (It's Christmas)]].

* "[[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lgvSqWupODQ Down the Well]]", an upbeat song sung by [=SpongeBob=] in the well-liked episode "Wishing You Well", about [=SpongeBob=] wanting to make everyone's wishes come true.
* Patrick's song "[[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=csy_KD1m_Ww I Wrote This]]" from the episode "Sing a Song of Patrick" would make a perfect example if there was ever a trope called "[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Crowning Music of Funny]]".

* The first episode hits hard and fast with the use of "Living in the Sunlight, Loving in the Moonlight" by Music/TinyTim. Backing an amazingly-satisfying sequence of Spongebob cooking Patties, the steady falsetto and drum baseline makes the entire scene a [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kRgudnV1FhI delight to watch.]]

Despite its intended audience of children, the ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' franchise has amazing soundtracks to fit the mood.[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spongebob_awesome_music.jpg]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ulir1wboNU "Attitude of Gratitude"]] is an incredibly catchy song sung by SpongeBob in "Sponge-Cano!" Squidward even recites some of the lyrics at the end.

* "Band Geeks" is widely regarded as one of the series' most awesome episodes, and it culminates in a singularly awesome Bubble Bowl half-time performance of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANk8xlsp1pQ "Sweet Victory"]] by the main cast, with special mention going to [=SpongeBob=] on lead vocals, Patrick on drums, Mrs. Puff on lead guitar, Plankton on keyboard and backing vocals, and Squidward as bandleader. It's hard to resist joining the (live-action) crowd in waving lighters during the performance. No wonder [[SmugSnake Squilliam]] had a heart attack upon seeing the band's performance.

* Let's start off by talking about [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He-LBIyBUz8 SpongeBob's classic, jolly theme]]. The [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments funniest part]] about this theme is that the creators wanted to make it as annoying as possible. They succeeded, and while it might be annoying for [=SpongeBob=] haters, for everyone else, it definitely gets you in the mood for the show in its own way. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cety5EQ5i8I choral version sung by the pirates]] to open ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongebobSquarepantsMovie'' is sung more like a sea shanty, and it helps to underscore the epic adventure about to take place.

* Nickelodeon uploaded a video on their [=YouTube=] channel called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB42v-EcUwM The Ultimate SpongeBob Remix]]. It remixes almost every song from the pre-movie era, and exactly one post-movie era song (which was also played ''in'' the movie, though in its closing credits), into one catchy beat. The fact that they were able to include "Sweet Victory" in this despite the song's rights now being owned by Frontiers Records is awesome on its own. Added to the fact that a good majority of the entire remix is dedicated to the pre-movie era as opposed to anything else. Even then, the post-movie era song they picked still celebrates the show's past. Wanna know what song they picked? "Best Day Ever". A song from the season that, while diagonally split between the fans in terms of quality, is considered to hold up just as well as the seasons that came before it. It just goes to show that [[OneOfUs Nickelodeon cares about the show and its legacy just as much as we do]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbKfv4kEIGI Squidward's orchestrated piece]] from "Suction Cup Cup Symphony", which sounds like something ripped directly from Mozart. Maybe Squidward does have musical talent after all.
