Episode Synopsis

Welcome to SpongeBob Music Minute. Today, we’ll be going in depth into the track “The Rake Hornpipe” and we’ll do it all within 60 seconds. 
“The Rake Hornpipe” is another Associated Production Music track composed by Robert Alexander White. In SpongeBob, this track has mostly been used in scenes set at The Krusty Krab— though there are some exceptions, most notably in “Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost”, an episode during which the Krusty Krab never even appears.
The track played regularly for the first five seasons, but was only used twice in season 6, with its final appearance in “Plankton’s Regular”— before returning 8 years later in the season 9 episode, “Salsa Imbecilicus”. Since then, it has appeared roughly once or twice a season. 
The Rake Hornpipe is a good track”— though a tad overrated in my opinion. It’s not that I don’t like the track. I just prefer others over it. That said, it’s undoubtedly iconic, as it’s impossible to hear this song and not think of SpongeBob.  
Well, that’s all the time we have for today. Until next time, thanks for listening to SpongeBob Music Minute.
