Miscellaneous

• The painting of Painty the Pirate, which appears at the start of the opening theme song sequence, employs a chroma key for the moving lips. The lips are actually those of Stephen Hillenburg, and the voice is of Patrick Pinney.
• According to the book SpongeBob Exposed, series creator Stephen Hillenburg said that the policy of the show is to not do jokes about or make reference to pop culture and current events. In order for the cartoon to be timeless, he even says that Bikini Bottom is isolated from the real world, being under the Pacific Ocean.
• Theeyes and nose, when turned upside-down, look like male genitalia.
• Traditional sea shanties are used for the musical themes in the show. Most commonly used is that of "Drunken Sailor". In the episode "Krusty Krab Training Video," a young Eugene Krabs is shown walking to a soda vending machine, la-laing the shanty "Blow the Man Down." Various songs used in SpongeBob SquarePants come from the Associated Production Music library, some of which have also been used in shows such as Ren & Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life, The X Factor, Camp Lazlo, and My Gym Partner's a Monkey. For competition-based episodes, some of Sam Spence's NFL Films music is used. Ironically, one of Spence's more famous songs for the NFL Films library of music is an orchestral version of "Drunken Sailor", first suggested by Steve Sabol because he liked the song at summer camp.
