Plot

SpongeBob is shown at the Krusty Krab during closing time with Mr. Krabs and Squidward. He is in the kitchen and starts singing a song (later identified as the "Musical Doodle"). Squidward gets annoyed because SpongeBob is singing that song. Mr. Krabs comes and says to mop the floor. Squidward tells SpongeBob again to stop singing that song. Squidward then puts on the radio, but is playing "Musical Doodle" - SpongeBob picks up the radio and starts dancing to it. Mr. Krabs says it's closing time and Squidward runs out. SpongeBob is sitting down on a table singing to the song. SpongeBob floats out of the Krusty Krab and lands outside a record shop. He hears "Musical Doodle" playing. He then buys the record and goes home, opens up Gary's shell (revealing a record player), and plays the song until night-time (Gary is asleep by then). He goes to sleep but then starts whistling the song. He goes back downstairs to listen to the song again.

He is then shown at the Krusty Krab, looking very tired. Mr. Krabs warns him to get to work. SpongeBob imagines that Mr. Krabs is singing the "Musical Doodle". He is warned to stop singing that song, but finds it very hard to not sing the song. He hands out Krabby Patties while singing the song, at the same time bothering the customers. Mr. Krabs comes out of his office to see what's wrong. All the customers blame SpongeBob. Mr. Krabs warns SpongeBob once again to stop singing that song, or he will send him home. In the kitchen, his eye sockets form into mouths and start singing the song - the same thing happens with his back. In the next scene, the kitchen is shown absolutely wrecked, with "doodle" written on the walls. SpongeBob seems that he has gone crazy. He goes home while singing the song - Sandy, Mr. Krabs, Patrick and Squidward follow him and tie him to a chair. Sandy explains that he has an "earworm" - which is when a worm is in someone's brain and keeps the song in their head. Sandy says that it can only be cured if another song gets stuck in their head. Mr. Krabs sings a sea-shanty and Sandy sings a Western song, but none succeed. Sandy says "someone with musical talent" can cure him. Squidward starts playing his clarinet very badly. The earworm gets annoyed and leaves. Squidward is then shown in bed, praising himself. The earworm comes and goes into Squidward, now Squidward has the earworm.
