Electric Zoo: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:25, 12 December 2019

Template:Song2 "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.

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-doo bop boo-doo 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.

 ==Trivia==
-*An announcer on the radio said the song's name before it came on, but Mr. Krabs did not appear to know its name when he was asking the radio station to play it again. Though, it is possible he wasn't fully paying attention or that he may have forgotten the title of the song. He may have gotten hooked to the song, only after it started playing.
