Synopsis

The episode begins with Squidward getting ready for an audition at the Bikini Bottom Men Choir. While going there, he stumbles upon SpongeBob, who is bored and on the ground as Patrick has gone away for a family reunion. He asks where Squidward is going, and after awhile of asking, he finally says he's going to the Men's Choir.

Squidward rides his bike away, but SpongeBob follows him as he wants to show him his song. When he doesn't want to listen, SpongeBob digs a pothole, causing Squidward to fall off his bike and land at Jellyfish Fields. He gets trapped in jellyfish while SpongeBob takes advantage of him being captive and sings his song.

When Squidward gets back to his bike with many jellyfish stings on him, he takes a shortcut through the kelp. However, he is stopped by SpongeBob, who is disguised as a singing traffic cop. He tries to sing his song, but Squidward finds out he's in disguise and ties SpongeBob onto a piece of coral.

Squidward finally reaches the choir, but when he sings with the choir, he clears his throat for a long period of time and sounded terrible. When he finishes, SpongeBob comes inside the building while being carried by jellyfishing and singing his song. After he finishes, everyone but Squidward applauds him. He is let into the choir, and makes Squidward his page turner as he's sings to an audience.
