SpongeBob Production Music Thread

[musictheorist]

SpongeBob SquarePants is highly recognizable for the show's extensive use of the APM (Associated Production Music) Library.

Here, this thread will provide a list of music cues that was heard in each episode, and we will also be discussing about the composers of each of the library tracks.

I updated my  associated production music from spongebob. Now I have about 2052 songs in lossless. They mostly come from APM and EMI Music too.

But I have troubles to find the track Hawaiian Happiness from Jon Jelmer! Please, do you have any ideas from where I can get this song in lossless?

And I am also heading for the CD ESCD 509: Krontjong Indonesia. I also will be satisfied of a lossless rip too!

I want to collect so many music as possible because I watch this serie too as an adult :-)

Many thanks in advance!

[Upgrade]

It comes from this LP. It also has “Hawaiian Breeze” which was used when Squidward and Spongebob were watching the sunset together.

[kablamatic]

"Holiday Dream" and "Sunshine in Hawaii" by Max Mahlmann originally come from the 1972 Selected Sound LP, "Folklore and Beat / Easy Guitar" (#9023). Those tracks were eventually reissued on the "Hawaii & South Pacific" LP from the same music library 13 years later.

For some reason, Carlin took this recording and named it as Weber/Wilson composition.  youtube.com/watch?v=XqxuYv34fJg

This isn't true. It's this Ukrainian song. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nich_Yaka_Misyachna
