The "Camp Fire Song Song" (also known as "The Campfire Song Song") is a song that SpongeBob first sings in "The Camping Episode."
Patrick sings a verse in the song as well, but he cannot catch up because SpongeBob is singing too fast, so he instead resorts to playing the drums near the end.
Lyrics
- SpongeBob: I call this one, the Campfire Song Song. [SpongeBob is playing the ukulele]
- Let's gather 'round the campfire and sing our campfire song,
- Our C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G song.
- And if you don't think that we can sing it faster then you're wrong
- But it'll help if you just sing along!
- Patrick: Bum, bum, bum...
- SpongeBob: [sings quickly] C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G song, C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G song,
- And if you don't think that we can sing it faster then you're wrong,
- But it'll help if you just sing along.
- Patrick: [in the background, struggling to keep up] Singing our song!
- SpongeBob: C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G song, Patrick!
- Patrick: Song! C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E...
- SpongeBob: Squidward!
- [Squidward keeps silent and unenthusiastically stares at SpongeBob.]
- Good!
- It'll help, it'll help!
- If you just sing along!
- [Fireworks, SpongeBob smashes the ukulele, and Patrick slams a drum on SpongeBob]
- [screams] Oh, yeah!
Trivia
- In 2003 in Australia, Nickelodeon Australia made a competition for all children around Australia, which was whoever could sing the song the fastest by taking a video of themselves singing it and posting it for the competition would win a multitude of SpongeBob SquarePants merchandise.[citation needed]
- According to The Tom Kenny Collection, the description he gives for "The Camping Episode" revealed that he sang the "Campfire Song Song" very speedily during the recording session. When SpongeBob sings fast, it was purely Tom Kenny, it was not edited to be fast. There were no artificial speed filters used; thus revealing that Tom Kenny can sing very speedily.
- The song is mentioned again by SpongeBob in "Frozen Face-Off," much to Squidward's annoyance.
- In the French dub, this song is left untranslated with the exception of "Oh, yeah!"
- In the Indonesian dub, this song never played in the episode because of time constraints.[citation needed]
- This song is heard in the Family Guy episode "Road to Rupert," in which Peter Griffin watches the episode's scene where SpongeBob and Patrick sing the song. The song was written by Dan Povenmire, who was also a director on that Family Guy episode. Because of this, he was able to gain the rights to the song.
- Unlike the SpongeBob version, Squidward is not in it.
- According to Jay Lender on Twitter, in the original version of the song, there was originally a second "bum bum bum" which would cause Squidward's brain to fly out.[1] This gag was cut for time.[2]
- In a 2020 TikTok video,[3] Dan Povenmire revealed that in the original version of the song he wrote, Patrick would say, "Letters, letters, letters..." instead of trying and failing to keep up with SpongeBob spelling "Campfire Song" really fast. This change in the final episode was suggested by Dan Povenmire's writing partner at the time, Jay Lender, and Dan admits that he thought it was funnier that way.
