Stupendously Silly in Any Language

I really cannot account for the why.
I hardly will take blame for the lack of judgment.
I feel compelled to clarify that I understand it to be frivolity of the highest order.
But I must confess plainly that I get a huge kick out of Spongebob speaking Dutch.

And the theme song? To die for. Or at least to fall over laughing about. Especially that part about him looking like a cheese souffle. That gets me everytime.

This post is for my nephew Mitch. And for any of you other silly underwater cartoon fanatics out there. Go on, you can admit it here, you're among friends. (Please forgive mistakes in translation.)

The theme song from Spongebob Squarepants:

Kunnen we, kinderen? (coonen vee kint-er-en)
Can we, kids?

Ai ai, kapitein! (eye eye cop-ee-tine)
Aye! Aye! Captain!

Ik hoor het niet! (ick hoar het neet)
I don't hear that!

Ai ai, kapitein! (eye eye capp-ee-tine)
Aye! Aye! Captain!

Oooooooow! (oooooooooh)
Oh!

Hij woont in een ananas diep in de zee (Hi vont in ayn ah-nah-nahs deep in dah zay)
He lives in a pineapple deep in the sea

Spongebob Squarepants (no translation necessary, yes?)

Hij ziet zo geel als een kaassouflée (Hi zeet zo khayl alls ayn kahs sooflay)
He looks so yellow as a cheese souffle

Spongebob Squarepants

Ja, iedereen weet wat voor mafkees het is (yah, eet-er-ayn vayt vaht for mahf-kays het is)
Yes, everyone knows what a weirdo he is

Spongebob Squarepants

Die vierkante friet is zo gek als een vis (dee fear-kahn-tah freet is zo kheck alls ayn fiss)
This square fry is crazy as a fish

Spongebob Squarepants
Spongebob Squarepants
Spongebob Squarepants
Spongebob Squarepants
Spongie-bob Square-pants



And just to prove I am not exaggerating the silliness point. The theme song lyrics now in English:
Are ya ready kids?
Aye Aye Captain!
I CAN'T HEAR YOU!
AYE AYE CAPTAIN!
ohhhhhh!!!!
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!
Absorbant and yellow and poreous is he
SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!
If nautical nonsense be somethin' you wish
SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!
Then drop on the deck and flop like a fish!
SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!
Ready?
SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!
SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!
SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!
SPONGEYBOB SQUAREPAAAANTS

For your multi-sensory pleasure, the theme song:



And to make this post tolerable for my daughter, I give you the theme song once again, ala Avril Lavigne:



Now, that's something that ought to stick with you all day. Happy Humming!
