Template:Song "Electric Zoo" is a techno/breakbeat song heard in the episode "Krab Borg." Template:Data:Links listens to it while counting his money, to great enjoyment. He loves the song so much he asks the radio station to play it again. This song also plays as the episode's title card music. It was played on KRUM and it was Bikini Bottom's #1 song at the time of the episode.

The song's title is said by a radio DJ. Despite the title being "Electric Zoo," Mr. Krabs basically calls it "the one that goes Beep boo-boo bop boo-boo beep," making Template:Data:Links confused because, only hearing him say this misunderstood title, he comes to the conclusion that Mr. Krabs is a robot.

The song was composed by series writer/executive producer Paul Tibbitt and solely uses instruments.
