Template:Infobox OM The SpongeBob SquarePants "Closing Theme" was composed by Steve Belfer. As the name suggests, it is used in the end credits of the show. The track has two versions, which have both been used as background music in some episodes. The track usually plays when someone does something repeatedly, or does something silly.

There are a futuristic and a primitve version in "SB-129" as well as "B.C. Strut" by Nicolas Carr and Steve Belfer in "Ugh".

Alternate titles: "Close," "Close #3," "Close Theme 2," "Closing," "Closing #1," "Closing #3," "Closing Theme 3," "Closing Theme2," "Closing#3," "SpongeBob Theme"

Usage

Closing Theme 1

In addition to the below listed instances, this version plays during the ending credits when watching the episodes on most DVD releases, VHS tape releases, digital releases, and streaming services. It is also the menu music for many of the SpongeBob SquarePants DVDs up until Extreme Kah-Rah-Tay.

Trivia

The closing credits for the Japanese version use a completely different theme.
SpongeBob hums the tune to this track while walking to Mr. Krabs' office in "Krabs vs. Plankton."
- He also whistles the tune while he's sitting at the table in "Breakin'."
The second version was played at the SpongeBob panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2015, this marks the first usage of the second version since "Truth or Square." Although it was -1.5 semitones in pitch.
"Truth or Square" is the only special episode to use this music.
