"Loop de Loop" is a song written and performed by Ween that is featured at the end of the episode "Your Shoe's Untied." When SpongeBob forgets how to tie his shoes, Gary roars at him to get his attention. Gary then ties his shoes and reveals that he wears shoes. When SpongeBob asks Gary how did he learn to tie his shoes, he plays this song with a record player under his shell.

Lyrics

Want to learn how to tie your shoe?

It's a very easy thing to do

Just sit on down and I'll give you the scoop

What's that?

It's called the "loop de loop!"

You gotta take a lace in each hand

You go over and under again

You make a loop de loop and pull

And your shoes are lookin' cool!

You go over and back, left to right

Loop de loop and you pull 'em tight!

Like bunny ears or a Christmas bow

Lace 'em up and you're ready to go!

You make a loop de loop and pull

And your shoes are lookin' cool

[Instrumental solo]

You make a loop de loop and pull

And your shoes are lookin' cool!

Trivia

• Ween has cited the song as one of their "proudest legacies."
• According to one member, Dean Ween, the song was written in a single night before SpongeBob SquarePants had started airing.
• In later airings of the Indonesian dub, this song was occasionally skipped to save time.
