Sponge-Bob Squarepants ? (just go with me on this one !!)

Hi Michael,

I think I seem to remember from something in the past, that you played some Hawaiian guitar on some children's TV show, or cartoon background music (or at least, one/some of your recordings were later used for a cartoon / kids TV show) ??

Is that true ?
If so, what tunes, and what cartoons/show ?

The reason I ask is that on one of my recent Youtube videos, demo-ing the MM Fiddle-Edge Dobro, someone commented that it would be great if I did a video on the guitar, playing 12th Street Rag, featured in the Sponge-Bob Squarepants cartoon(s) !

And ..... I thought it may actually be you playing the guitar in the cartoons !!

Is it you ?

I think Michael has tried to get his episode without success. It's been discussed on the forum before, I think there are many of us who would love to see it! 🙂👍🎸

Best wishes to you all, John

I've seen it from a link no doubt via The Forum John, so it must have been online at some time. He did right well given the old adage regarding performing with animals and children, and it worked very well IMHO.

I've tried before to find it but just get the ad for the show.I have watched the show with the grandkids over the years, always entertaining.

I can sing Sponge Bob Square Pants if that helps . . . . .

Oh go on then, you know you want to!

Richard, Here you go, this is Zingzillas from 2010.

Here's an edited version of the 20 minute programme. Here's a link to it in my Dropbox -

You can watch it online or download it, but I am unable to share it on Youtube. It is on my Facebook page....somewhere, but Youtube won't allow it.

Shine On
Michael

Excellent Michael, thanks for sharing. That really does fit into the category of 'I've seen it all now' 🙂👍🎸

Yeah, Zingzillas uses recognition software to prevent uploading a version to Youtube, so even if you have your own copy legally and try to upload, Youtube will notify you of a copyright violation. Feh.
