SpongeBob sings American Pie (AI Cover) 

Drove his chevy to the levee. Never passed boating school.

Born too late to explore the new world. Born too early to explore other galaxies. Born soon enough to hear SpongeBob sing Don McLean - American Pie.

Now we need Don McLean singing the C.A.M.P.F.I.R.E. S.O.N.G.

SpongeBob saying “do you have faith in God above” is oddly threatening

Dude SpongeBob survived not voice cracking. When AI SpongeBob sings, the voice usually cracks.

"You believe in rock n' roll, don't you, Squidward?"

Sure was a tragic moment from Music when we lost Boys Who Cry in that boat mobile accident.

If SpongeBob ever sings American Pie this is how he would sound, I'm quite impressed

I need squidward singing piano man now

It’s ridiculous how genuine this sounds, a few people could mistake Tom Kenny for actually singing

Sponge has come a long way since Striped Sweater

It's official: at this point SpongeBob will outlive the human race, let alone his voice actor. 😂

I like how he sounds like he's singing with a Southern accent.

We’ve peaked. SpongeBob has said the words “Helter Skelter.” Beatles media is gonna get wild

Imagine if Buddy Holly came back today and trying to explain to him that a computer has taken the voice of an anthropomorphic talking sea sponge from a cartoon and set it to lyrics to a fifty-year-old song lamenting his death and the passing of an even earlier time. Ah, youtube.

This isn't a meme, this is art.

This is seriously good, Spongebob has found his true calling when he finally hangs up his spatula. Are we sure that isn't Tom Kenny singing?

The really funny thing is the mention of Buddy Holly at the beginning, cuz he looks real similar to Tom Kenny lmfao

This is- and I swear this is true- the very first time in my 30 years of life that I ever sat down and listened to this particular song from start to finish. _And its an AI SpongeBob cover._

*Spongebob:* "Do you believe in rock and roll, can music save your mortal soul? *Squidward:* "Oh, puh-LEASE! I have no soul." _(sound of Satan laughing with delight as the flames climb high into the night)_

this has no right to hit this hard

i can imagine spongebob around the camping strumming the ukulele lol

Imagine you're watching Nickelodeon and SpongeBob starts singing this in the episode "Ripped Pants" instead of the song "Ripped Pants".

It's not just a rolling stone... it's a rock!

I’m actually crying? My favorite childhood cartoon character singing one of my favorite childhood songs? I’m speechless.

There's something poignant about this. It feels really strange, kind of scary but also exciting at the same time? AI is going to be such a weird thing.

If Spongebob was also a virtual music artist like Gorillaz or Alvin & the Chipmunks were, then this is what he would sound like.

First Squidward singing the frank sinatra version of My Way, now this! These are amazingly good, aside from a few voice cracks but its not that noticeable. We just need each character to get a cover of a song that suits them.

Sandy would be so proud.

This is criminally good lol

This is honestly one of the best AI covers, The entire song is clean with no voice issues and it sounds natural. Lol

Now have SpongeBob sing The Saga Begins!

this just in spongebob is a criminal for driving without a license

I am concerned by the fact I've had to have people point out the fact that there's voice cracks in this song. This song pulls at nostalgia, even though I never lived the generations this song was made for. It's so weird, yet, it's not uncanny, which really amazes me.

"something touched me DEEEP inside, the day, the music, died" that hit hard

These AI voices are getting so good!!

tom kenny would be mildly amused by this

"I knew no good would come from city-folk and their flying machines!" - Record Producer Jenkins, February 3, 1959.

This cover is something. It's amazing since it is a Spongebob AI cover that is near perfect with very little issues, terrifying for how good it is overall, and funny since Spongebob starts sounding like a folk singer on helium after a while.

At this point idc if ai takes over the world. As long as we get masterpieces like this ai can have the world for all I care

Man, AI is amazing. This sounds almost exactly like the actual voice actor for SpongeBob!

There’s something cool about hearing SpongeBob talk about not childish shit. Like when he says whiskey, for example, it’s magical

Dude i actually got chills when he hit that fuckin high note, that was nuts

I find it funny that a lot of these videos of SpongeBob singing he's singing good songs in a tasteless way. The contrast is so good I can't stop listening to it

Spongebob split his pants, sung about it. The crowd cheered, they wanted more and he gave them more. Took a weird turn.

WHY IS THIS SO CLEAN

This was amazing. I need more SpongeBob covers immediately. 😂😂😂

Even the "for a huwhile". Nice.

Never thought this would sound VERY good

Usually the spongebob ai covers arent the greatest, but this is honestly REALLY good, one of the only good spongebob ai covers ive heard.

WHAT DEMON DID YOU SELL YOUR SOUL TO MAKE THIS MASTERPIECE

I hate how good this sounds

The actual song is an allegory for the slow societal death of America, so spongebob singing it is a metaphor within a metaphor

This is one of the only songs over 8 minutes long that I listen too. It has weird feeling of nostalgia, but that nostalgia is for a generation of kids and teens born in the 1950s when Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and JP Richardson were uber popular and Don McLean was part of that generation. Great song and I really didn’t expect this to be all that good, but boy was I wrong.

So mad that this is the first time I've ever sat down and just listened to this whole song.

I never would have thought that I would have ever heard a spongebob cover of American Pie. Never.

have loved spongebob since I was like 2, and I always had a weird fixation on this song and know all of the lyrics. this is so perfect

I can see Tom Kenny actually singing this song in the Spongebob voice.

This would be great if there was ever a SpongeBob finale.

Something really disturbs me hearing SpongeBob sing about Satan laughing with delight.

Now we just need this redone for Weird Al's the Saga Begins

Went in for the meme and left genuinely enjoying this cover

This has no business being this good. Well done.

I cant beleive i get to sing american pie with spungieboy

I did not know how much I needed to hear this.

This is indeed one of the covers of all time

Now we need Don Mclean to sing Ripped His Pants.

This is perfect, It's better than finally beating that one hard boss you've been stuck on for weeks.

"This is the American Pie song song"

This sounds so good, dude. Im a big Don McLean fan, and this is just... a great homage to a wonderful singer's legacy

Lyrics: A long, long time ago, I can still remember How that music used to make me smile And I knew if I had my chance That I could make those people dance And maybe they'd be happy for a while But February made me shiver With every paper I'd deliver Bad news on the doorstep I couldn't take one more step I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride But something touched me deep inside The day the music died So, bye, bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to The Levee, but The Levee was dry And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye Singin', "This'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die" Did you write the Book of Love? And do you have faith in God above If the Bible tells you so? Do you believe in rock 'n' roll? Can music save your mortal soul? And can you teach me how to dance real slow? Well, I know that you're in love with him 'Cause I saw you dancing in the gym You both kicked off your shoes Then I dig those rhythm and blues I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck With a pink carnation and a pickup truck But I knew I was out of luck The day the music died I started singin', "Bye-bye, Miss American Pie" Drove my Chevy to The Levee, but The Levee was dry Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye Singin', "This'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die" Now for ten years we've been on our own And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone But that's not how it used to be When the jester sang for the king and queen In a coat he borrowed from James Dean And a voice that came from you and me Oh, and while the king was looking down The jester stole his thorny crown The courtroom was adjourned No verdict was returned And while Lennon read a book on Marx The quartet practiced in the park And we sang dirges in the dark The day the music died We were singin', "Bye-bye Miss American Pie" Drove my Chevy to The Levee, but The Levee was dry Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye Singin', "This'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die" Helter Skelter in the summer swelter The birds flew off with a fallout shelter Eight miles high and fallin' fast It landed foul on the grass The players tried for a forward pass With the jester on the sidelines in a cast Now, the half-time air was sweet perfume While the sergeants played a marching tune We all got up to dance Oh, but we never got the chance 'Cause the players tried to take the field The marching band refused to yield Do you recall what was revealed The day the music died? We started singin', "Bye-bye, Miss American Pie" Drove my Chevy to The Levee, but The Levee was dry Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye And singin', "This'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die" Oh, and there we were, all in one place A generation lost in space With no time left to start again So come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick Jack Flash sat on a candlestick 'Cause fire is the devil's only friend Oh, and as I watched him on the stage My hands were clenched in fists of rage No angel born in Hell Could break that Satan's spell And as the flames climbed high into the night To light the sacrificial rite I saw Satan laughing with delight The day the music died He was singin', "Bye-bye, Miss American Pie" Drove my Chevy to The Levee, but The Levee was dry Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye And singin', "This'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die" I met a girl who sang the blues And I asked her for some happy news But she just smiled and turned away I went down to the sacred store Where I'd heard the music years before But the man there said the music wouldn't play And in the streets, the children screamed The lovers cried and the poets dreamed But not a word was spoken The church bells all were broken And the three men I admire most The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost They caught the last train for the coast The day the music died And they were singin', "Bye-bye, Miss American Pie" Drove my Chevy to The Levee, but The Levee was dry And Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye Singin', "This'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die" They were singin', "Bye-bye, Miss American Pie" Drove my Chevy to The Levee, but The Levee was dry Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye Singin', "This'll be the day that I die"

1:00 yeah, it was Patrick.

this is the definition of music, and it will never die

Spongebob says Chevy is so werid to me

This should be sung by the entire cast

If tom kenny saw this he would love this a lot. Maybe next comic con he would sing this or another requested song

After a while I just started singing along like usual, this is gold

ahh hell nah s punch bawp got that beutiful voice 😿

SpongeBob has really come a long way since Striped Sweater

Why does he start actually going so hard

Tom Kenny would probably be so honored that his voice has been immortalized this way.

🥲 It's beautiful.

The most American track of all time

you know what be amazing AI cover to hear? Spongebob singing Don't stop me now by Queen

For some reason this hits even wayy harder

Just. Listening to this, imagining how all the characters would react to Stephen Hillenburg’s death and what happens to Bikini Bottom at the end of it all, being reminded that there was a simple time when we used to be so innocent and didn’t have to worry about guns, bills, or climate change. We were just little kids who laughed at his jokes and sang along to the theme song. We really thought everything would be okay as adults. And now Steve is gone, stress is ever-present, and we’re barely scraping by. Don’t mind me. Openly sobbing

Bye bye miss American Puff

We should start a petition: make Tom Kenny sing this masterpiece as Spongebob.

cant stop listening to it

Okay think of this. Patrick sing It's Now Or Never, Spongbob sings Candle In The Wind, Squidward sings We Belong Together. And all three come together to sing Unchained Melody...

This is so close to perfect this is legitimately amazing and I love it so much, I can't wait for the day we can make this as well as if spongebob were actually singing it, because I legit love him singing it, it's so good

I'm 20 seconds in, and I have already found the best video of 2023. Let it be known I was here at 36k views. Edit: I have transcended. Now on to the Squidward cover of My Way.

My favorite AI cover

Now if only we had Patrick, Squidward and Sandy as backup vocals.

This should be presented to any aliens we come in contact with

Really good AI cover dude, only issue is holding the S's, but that's minor for how good this is.

I’ve heard Spongebob and Plankton sing this, now I want to hear Sandy sing it.

Best AI cover I've heard so far.

Spongebob is a real one for this

sounds good.
