In one democratic installment ofSpongeBob SquarePantstitled " Band Geeks , " Squidward and the Bikini Bottom gang do a rousing rendition of David Glen Eisley ’s song " Sweet Victory " at the fabricated Bubble Bowl . Now , in the wake of the death ofSpongeBobcreator Stephen Hillenburg , fans of the cartoon sponge are pushing for the song to be play at the Super Bowl , according toComicBook.com .
AChange.org petitionto have the song performed during the Super Bowl ’s halftime show has been sign by more than 575,000 people — more than halfway to their goal of getting 1 million signatures . It was created in retentivity of Hillenburg , who died last workweek at the years of 57 due to ramification from ALS , ak.a . Lou Gehrig ’s disease .
“ As a tribute to his bequest , his contributions to a generation of children , and to truly showcase the greatness of this birdcall , we call for ' Sweet Victory ' to be performed at the halftime show , ” the petition reads .
The postulation ’s creator , Isreal Colunga , of Portland , Oregon , write that the prayer “ started as a jest on Twitter ” but twist into something much larger . “ It ’s beautiful and it shows how much SpongeBob and Mr. Hillenburg impacted our lives , ” Colunga save . Bob Kulick , the guitarist who perform ' Sweet Victory ' alongside Eisley , even share the petition on hisFacebook pageboy .
The NFL has n’t respond to this especial postulation , but Maroon 5 is already slated to be one of the halftime performer . If the testimonial toSpongeBobdid somehow get the green Christ Within , it would n’t be the strangest show in Super Bowl history . When the San Francisco 49ers play the Cincinnati Bengals in 1989 , a wizard enclothe as Elvis Presley ( calledElvis Presto , of path ) performed the “ world ’s big card trick ” in 3-D as spectators in disposable glasses watched on .
