Who Lives In A Pineapple Under The Sea?

My daughter and I are all geeked up for the big opening weekend of the Spongebob movie. Being the good Dad that I am, I also picked up the soundtrack album which includes music from The Shins, Motorhead (!), Wilco, and Ween - it's a pretty indie-tastic set of tunes, most of which were written especially for the movie. Pitchfork panned it, but I have to admit that after only one listen I would disagree. It had me and my co-workers very entertained this afternoon. Here are a couple of tunes of note -

The Flaming Lips - Spongebob & Patrick Confront The Psychic Wall Of Energy - a pretty typically whimsical Lips tune.

Prince Paul, The Waikikis & Wordsworth - Prince Paul's Bubble Party - one of two hip hop cuts on the album. If you watch the show you know that bubble blowing is one of THE ways to kill time for these lads - this song features dialogue from the classic "bubble blowing technique" episode, where Spongebob teaches Patrick & Squidward how to blow truly artistic bubbles. "Bring it around town!"

The Ween tune is an older song - "Ocean Man" from the '97 LP "The
Mollusk", so if you are a fan you've probably already heard it. It fits in with the whole nautical theme very nicely tho', eh?
